Rose Kauffman wears her engagement ring from Silas Good, but her heart belongs elsewhere. Nick Franco, the bishop's former foster son, has fled their Amish community after tragedy struck. The bishop's biological son died under circumstances that cast suspicion on Nick. Rose cannot forget him, even as wedding plans with the dependable Silas move forward. Her sister Hen faces her own impossible choice. She has moved back to their parents' farm with her young daughter, seeking refuge in the Plain life she once abandoned. Her English husband Brandon waits in the outside world, growing impatient. He threatens legal action to claim custody of their child unless Hen returns to their marriage. The court system looms as a weapon he might use against her. Both sisters stand at crossroads that will define their futures. Rose must decide whether duty or desire will guide her path to the altar. Hen must weigh her longing for community acceptance against the vows she made in another world.
