After spending three years in the English world, Anna Beiler has come
home. She brings with her a baby girl, which will surely cause a stir
since Anna is unmarried. She is also hiding secrets: The baby is not
hers by birth, nor does Anna intend to stay. Rather, she desperately
needs sanctuary from the child's violent father... It surprises Anna how
quickly her Amish habits return to her and how satisfying it feels to
reconnect with her father, her sister Leah, and her brother Joseph. Even
Anna's childhood friend Samuel, whose slow, thoughtful manner used to
frustrate her, becomes a fond and reassuring companion. But Anna hasn't
fully faced the consequences of her irresponsible youth, when her
behavior led to a tragic accident. And now her mere presence may
endanger the family she holds dear. How easy it is to return to the safe
and familiar community whose blessings she once took for granted. But if
she wants to stay, Anna must seek forgiveness and experience the true
change of heart required to make a new beginning.
