Klappentext

Deep within the peaceful heart of Amish country, a life-or-death emergency shatters a quiet world to its core. #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs delivers a riveting story that challenges our deepest-held beliefs.****

Caleb Stoltz is bound by a deathbed promise to raise his orphaned niece and nephew in Middle Grove, where life revolves around family, farm, faith—and long-held suspicions about outsiders. When disaster strikes, Caleb is thrust into the relentless rush of modern life.

Dr. Reese Powell is poised to join the medical dynasty of her successful parents. But when a shocking accident brings Caleb into her life, Reese is forced to deal with a situation that challenges everything she thinks she knows.

Then one impulsive act brings about a clash of cultures in a tug-of-war that challenges the very nature of justice and reverberates through generations, straining the fragile threads of faith and family.
