G/rowing up Plain, Rachel Yoder dreamed of being a woman of
confidence, like the hearty women and men of her ancestry. But unlike
Gabriel Esh, her fiery great-uncle who preached out against age-old
practices in the community and endured the shunning for his beliefs,
Rachel was said to be "born shy." After suffering the tragedy of early
widowhood, she is so shadowed by grief that even her young daughter has
trouble coaxing Rachel out of her shell.
Philip Bradley's arrival at the Orchard Guest House B&B would be called
providential by certain folk in the Lancaster Amish community, for it is
Philip who stumbles across a forsaken postcard in the crevice of an
antique desk. A world-weary Journalist, Philip finds his enthusiasm
renewed at the challenge the postcard presents. Written in Pennsylvania
Dutch and signed by an infamous Plain relative, the faded message leads
Philip to the bedside of a woman with a tale of dark secrets and lost love.
Drawn to the ancient story, Philip and Rachel find their own lives
inexorably intertwined. Will their discoveries give Rachel the courage to
embrace the promise of healing and the hope of new love?
