Esther Yoder has always known her place—devoted daughter, dependable sister, and the woman who holds the family together after her father's death. With her younger brother Jacob preparing to marry, Esther is content to pour herself into wedding preparations and ensure everything runs smoothly. Love, she tells herself, is for girls with fewer responsibilities and fewer lines around their eyes. But when an unexpected accident sidelines her mother, help arrives in the form of Amos Troyer—Jacob’s childhood friend and a man with steady hands, quick wit, and a way of looking at Esther that makes her feel... seen. Together, they dive into the demanding world of Amish wedding planning, and for the first time in years, Esther begins to imagine a future that includes something more than duty. Yet Amos’s presence is not as simple as it seems. There’s a history he’s reluctant to share, a reason he came—and a reason he might not be able to stay. As Esther's heart begins to thaw and hope takes tentative root, whispers from the past begin to stir. And with every passing day, the line between friendship and something deeper becomes harder to ignore. In a community where promises carry weight and tradition shapes every choice, Esther must decide if risking her heart is worth uncovering the truth—especially when love may come at a cost too dear to pay.
