After spending three years in the English world, Anna Beiler has come back to Pleasant Valley with a baby girl, which will surely cause a stir since Anna is unmarried. She is also hiding secrets: the baby is not hers by birth, nor does she intend to stay. Rather, she desperately needs sanctuary from the child’s violent father...
It surprises Anna how quickly her Amish habits return to her, and how satisfying it feels to reconnect with her friends and family. Even Anna’s childhood friend Samuel, whose slow, thoughtful manner used to frustrate her, becomes a fond and reassuring companion.
But Anna hasn’t fully faced the consequences of her irresponsible youth, and now, her mere presence may endanger the family she holds dear. If she wants to stay, she must seek forgiveness from the community whose blessing she took for granted, and experience the true change of heart required to make a new beginning.

Three years ago, Anna Beiler left her Amish community to live a secular life. Now she has returned home as an unmarried mother with a baby in tow. Her family assumes that she has come home to repent and seek forgiveness, but Anna harbors a deeper secret. She adopted the baby when her friend died, and now Anna tries to hide among the plain folk in the hopes of protecting the child from its abusive father. But she may have brought danger to the community and to a man with whom she may be falling in love. VERDICT Those who enjoyed the first two series titles (Leah's Choice and Rachel's Garden) will eagerly await this third entry, which does not disappoint. It will also appeal to fans of Amy Clipston and Shelley Shepard Gray.
