In this, a stirring coming of age story, Sadie is the oldest in a family of 4 young Amish girls living in Lancaster County, Philadelphia. She wants to test the boundaries of her freedom – something she is allowed to do from 16 until they make their covenant with the church and the way of life of the “plain” people. But Sadie falls in love with a boy outside of the Amish society. Now she, her family and the community face a dilemma: will she choose this young man and forsake her family and all she knows? Or will she listen to her younger sister, Leah, urging Sadie to forget the “English” boy because she doesn’t want any shame to fall on her family, because her own courting days are close?
