Synopsis
Suppose you didn't know when your birthday was? When Arie Schwartz uncovers a mysterious clue tucked among her late mother’s belongings, it turns her world upside-down. One torn scrap of paper leads her to Lancaster County—and to the truth about who she is and where she belongs. Amidst tulip blooms, quilt squares, and Easter joy, Arie struggles to stitch together fragmented pieces of her past. Shy Jonah Fisher finds it easier to talk to his plants than to people. Though he tends his flowers with great care, he keeps his feelings for others locked inside. But Arie's search for answers awakens a desire to reveal his own long-buried secrets and open his closely guarded heart. As spring unfolds around them, can two lonely souls plant seeds of faith, trust, and openness that blossom into love? When we bloom where we’re planted, we discover who God means us to be.
