Twelve months ago, David Stoltzfus left the Amish community in Paradise, Pennsylvania—and encouraged his siblings to follow—after their father became overly stern and even abusive with them. Escaping to a new life in the Englisch world was the only way to keep one another safe. But it was not without sacrifice. When David left his fathers house and community, he also left behind Lavina Zook, the woman he planned to wed. Lavina hasnt forgiven David for abandoning her, but when Davids father is diagnosed with cancer, she believes she might be the only one to lure him back to make peace . . . before its too late. Still, forgiveness isnt easy. Even if she can get David to return, shes not sure he will forgive his father. And shes not sure she can forgive David, either.
