Synopsis

Being a thief is all Aladdin has ever known until he meets Jasmine Byler, the bishop's stepdaughter, in Unity, Maine while trying to steal from her booth at the farmers' market. Instead of reporting him to the police, she lets him keep the food he tried to steal, and Aladdin is stunned by her kindness. Aladdin isn't Amish like her. In fact, he knows nothing about the Amish—but he's determined to learn everything about the Amish that he can so that he can impersonate an Amish man and ask her on a date. How can a homeless thief like him pass as a righteous Amish man? What if she recognizes him from the farmers' market? After Aladdin rescues a man named Gene from thieves who try to steal an antique gold Arabian lamp from his antique store, Gene wants to grant Aladdin one wish to thank him. Aladdin only wants one thing: to become an Amish man so he can win the heart of Jasmine Byler. Fortunately, Gene grew up near the Amish of Unity. After Gene teaches Aladdin everything he knows about the Amish, cleans him up, and gives him a place to stay, he introduces Aladdin to the community as a man who has just moved to Unity but wants to join the Amish. As Aladdin gets to know Jasmine, he falls even more in love with her, but her stepfather Bishop Byler wants his daughter to court Jeffrey, a young man who lives down the lane and is determined to marry her and inherit the family's farm. Just when Aladdin thinks things can't get any worse, someone from Aladdin's past catches up to him, threatening not only any chance he has with Jasmine, but also her life.
