A wrong turn in a rainstorm leads Englisher Amelia Devries to Michael Hostetler - and the young Amishman's charming Old Order community of Hickory Hollow. Despite their very different backgrounds, Amelia and Michael both feel hemmed in by the expectations of others and struggle with how to find room for their own hopes. And what first seems to be a chance encounter might just change their lives forever.

"Another awesome story by one of my fave authors."
I love this book. I own so many that I can't truly rank it because it melts into the pan with so many awesome books.
the plot
Yes.
If you're a fan of Beverly Lewis, you can add this one to the list. I enjoyed how she is able to write this stoary as if it is based on someone's true biography. I love the way she combines such differing cultures; and yet she focuses on the importance of the positives and doesn't neglect the negatives of two completely different lifestyles.
