Levi Fisher is a man caught between two worlds. After three years in the roar of Chicago, he has stepped off the bus and back into the honesty of Lancaster County. He wants the slow rhythm of the farm and the peace of the hummed hymns. But tucked deep in his canvas duffel bag is a heavy secret from the Englisch world that feels like a stone in his shoe. Grace Stoll has spent three years building a fortress. As the Bishop’s daughter, she has kneaded her heartbreak into perfect loaves of bread and unimpeachable devotion. She waited for the boy who held her hand and promised to return, but the man who stands before her now has been sharpened by city light in ways she cannot name. She knows that the path back is narrower than the path away,"and she refuses to trust a heart that still feels divided. When a terrible storm tears through Willow Creek, leaving the community schoolhouse in ruins, the district faces a crisis that faith alone may not fix. As the Bishop prays for a miracle, Levi realizes he holds the key to their salvation...but only if he is willing to risk a public act of pride that could lead to a permanent Shunning. In a world where doing is the Plain way, Levi must decide if his secret is a gift from Gott or a devil's temptation that will cost him the only woman he has ever loved.
