Against the peaceful night sky, a barn burns....
Sarah Kauffman sought permission from her church elders to paint murals
on a few of the Amish community's barns. Each was designed like an
old-fashioned quilt square, representing a piece of the Amish traditions
Sarah loved. The works of art were intended to draw more tourists to the
Home Valley in the struggling economy. But instead, they invited a
menace. One by one, each barn is set ablaze and destroyed....The arson
fires spread fear through the community--amongst Amish and Englischers
alike. Now Sarah wonders if she's being punished for her
pridefulness...or whether there's a more malevolent will at work.
As an outsider, arson investigator Nate MacKenzie struggles to
investigate the crime scenes while adhering to Amish ways. With Sarah as
his guide, he warms to the Plain People and their simple ways. As the
fires rage, beliefs are challenged, a way of life is questioned and
family secrets are exposed. In the aftermath of the destruction the
people of the Home Valley must join together to raise their barns and
their hopes for the future.
