Wanting to relocate from
Shipshewana to somewhere new, Mercy Lapp answered an ad in The Budget to work
as a mother’s helper for Matthew and Shanna Yoder in Seymour , Missouri Lake Michigan .
Abner Hilty fled Shipshewana to Montana
to work on a ranch after he and his twin brother witnessed a murder. Now that
the killer is safely behind bars, Abner decides to visit his brother Abram in Missouri where he’d
settled with his bride of one month.
Mercy is surprised to see Abner there, and
equally surprised by how much he’d changed physically since she’d last seen
him. Even though the two live in different districts they occasionally see each
other in town and form a fledging friendship.
As Christmas approaches, an
unexpected heavy snow lets Abner and Mercy spend a lot of time together in
wintertime fun. Abner hopes to interest Mercy in a more permanent relationship.
But then Mercy's past resurrects and she is forced to choose. Will she choose Abner? Or return to her old life?
