Will true love triumph over tradition and obedience?
Adeline has received the opportunity to attend Bryant University, despite the fact that her mother is strictly Amish and raised her only child to live the same kind of life. However, her father has agreed that advanced schooling is acceptable, so she prepares to study communication as a freshman at the local college. She makes friends easily, passes her classes without much of a problem, and heads toward the end of her freshman year with nothing to sully her reputation as a quiet, solitary girl, although she works a part-time job and is considered very attractive.
After nearly being accosted by a forward patron of the restaurant where she works, Adeline meets a shy, handsome young man who immediately catches her attention. A chance meeting later that day brings the two together again, but it is Fate that seems to draw them when a camera encourages them to kiss for the first time. Now Adeline—Ade to her friends—has two choices: She can reveal her Amish upbringing and face ridicule from her friends and the handsome stranger, or lose the man she’s discovered that her heart can’t live without.
Her maemm nodded slowly as she revealed what she had kept secret. "I was just three months pregnant with you when Henry came to visit me in Providence. Your daed was at work that day and I was alone at home. When I saw Henry, I thought perhaps I was seeing a ghost. But I realized he had found out where I was living, so he came after me. He broke down in front of me that day, asking me to leave your daed, saying that he would forgive me for hurting him. I tried to make him understand that I loved your daed, and I couldn’t leave him because I was also carrying his child.†Her maemm paused as she recalled the events of that day. “He seemed devastated by the news and told me that Gott would make me suffer for what I’d done. I tried to run inside, but he grabbed me from behind and I slipped. I cried out in pain as blood seeped through my clothes…
