Sadie Always Believed in God's Promises. But Can She Really Trust His Heart?

In the peaceful countryside of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, young Amish widow, Sadie Fisher, follows the age old simple life of selling Amish goods to a steady stream of tourists and visitors. In many ways an idyllic life, Sadie wonders if it's really God's will for her to remain without husband and family.

In the cold and lonely in Pennsylvania winter, Sadie rejoices when a tenant signs up for a three month let on her guest cottage. But when wealthy, impulsive Englischer, Kade Saunders arrives, SAdie isn't sure she wants him around that long. Sadie feels the stress of the bishop's watchful eye, expecting her to act in accordance with the Ordnung: the code of behaviour expected of Amish women. To complicate things, Kade is soon surprised with sole custody of a child he barely knows - his five yearold autistic son, Tyler.

Sadie and young Tyler form an immediate connection. As she grows to love and understand this exceptional child, her feelings for Kade grow into something that both terrifies and exhilarates her. And while Kade seems to feel the attraction to her as well, their worlds couldn't be farther apart.

Sadie must stay true to her Amish roots, but denying the love she feels is impossible. Could it be that God has the improbable in store for Sadie? And will she have the faith to step into a love bigger than she's ever dreamed possible?
