Carley has given up chasing her dreams. Now her dreams are chasing her. Carley experiences culture shock when she visits her friend Lillian's family farm in Amish county. She'll get an article out of the visit and maybe some of her friends new found peace will somehow rub off on her. Just when Carly is getting used to the quiet nature of the Plain community, Lillian and Samuel's son fall ill. But the local doctor who can offer the most help has been shunned by the community and forbidden to intervene. As David's condition deteriorates, Dr. Noah determines to do whatever it takes to save the boy's life. Carley is caught in the middle, drawn to Noah, wanting to be helpful in the crisis, and confused by all their talk about a God she neither knows nor trusts. Carley must decide what in life is worth pursing and what to do when she is pursued by a love she never expected.
