This story revolves around Nellie, a young girl that is struggling with the death of her sister and trying to get on with her life with a new love. Caleb, who strongly wants to keep the old ways of the Amish is courting Nellie at a time when some in the community are questioning traditions of their faith and lifestyle. While talk of tractors and other controversies swirl around this Amish community in the 1960s, Nellie and Calebs families are at odds. What will happen to Nellie and Caleb? I look forward to reading the other books in the series to find out.

This is a quick, entertaining read with rich details about the Amish way of life.
