In the wake of his violent father’s arrest and death, Ahab Roth has settled into his duties as the head of the family. Though he doesn’t dare dream of finding a wife for himself – after all, who would marry the son of the wicked Nahor Roth – he takes his responsibility seriously and has worked hard to bring his family back into the Amish community. All is going well … until an unexpected storm blows a young woman into his life. When Havilah Sommer seeks shelter from a violent storm in the Roth’s barn, she never expected to find Ahab there. Terrified of her family’s reaction when they learn that she has spent the night with a man, her fears are soon overshadowed by the threat of real tragedy, and her hopes are kindled by the only man who really sees her for who she really is.
