An Amish village is stirring in the mid 1960s with people being drawn to a new gospel that goes against the Ordnung teachings.

Nellie is grieving her sister Suzy's death, as is the rest of her family. She has had a crush on Caleb for a long time and he seems to be drawn to her lately. Nellie bakes goods on a regular basis at her own little store. She is very into the Old Order and cannot fathom why there are sudden changes in some of her own family members towards the reading of scriptures that she has never heard and praying directly to God as if personal, without a rote involved.

This book took me a while to get into, but halfway through it was so good and I liked it and would have tears forming in the corners of my eyes!
