Annaleise's parents have died a year earlier in a freak buggy accident. The Amish community to which she belongs helps her out but she and her brother begin to work outside the town to make ends meet. Jebidiah, a young man who courted her years earlier returns to the community after he supposed left for good. Now he's returned out of the blue, wanting to help her out and hopefully win her back...but Annaleise has changed...She wants to find out about the world outside her community and he wants to her to stay so they can start a family together. Which road will she choose?
