Overview

Leaving behind her cloistered Amish life, she seeks the mother she has never known . . .

Katie Lapp, a young Amish woman who questioned the strict rules of her upbringing and even her own identity, has been shunned from her Amish community. Katie, now known as Katherine Mayfield, sets out to find her birth mother--and a life she has never known.

Her birth mother is seriously ill and Katie must struggle to find her before it’s too late. But in the world of electric lights, telephones, and “fancy” things, Katie stumbles into a web of greed and betrayal where the garb of the Amish is misused to disguise an evil conspiracy.

Meanwhile, unknown to Katherine, her long-lost love, Daniel, has returned to the Amish community to find her. Can they ever be together again?
