Waking in the hospital after a car accident, Lovina Yoder doesn't remember the Amish family who claim her as their own - or the man who says he's her fianceĢ. Thoughtful and handsome, Johannes Miller clearly cares for her, and Lovina longs to recall the walks and buggy rides he describes and the plans they once made. Life in the Amish community seems full of joy, faith and warmth. And yet, Lovina senses there is something more in her past, just beyond her grasp. Gott has answered Johannes's prayer to bring Lovina back - but not quite as he hoped. A year ago, she ran away to the Englisher world, unable to face the community after her daet's misdeeds. Her family hopes that Lovina can rediscover her Amish heart before those painful recollections return. Johannes loves her as deeply as ever, but if she walked away once, will she leave again, taking his dream of home and family with her? Or will the new memories they are making together, day by day, convince her that this Bountiful future is Gott's plan for them both?
