He never asked to lead. She never planned to love again. But sometimes, God's will is heavier than expected. When Eli King is chosen by lot to be the new bishop of his Amish community, he feels anything but worthy. A humble farmer and widower, Eli is more at home tending his orchard than guiding a congregation. Yet tradition calls, and Eli quietly accepts the burden, praying for the strength he’s not sure he possesses. Widow Susanna Yoder knows what it means to carry the weight of loss. For five years she has held her family together, raising three children while tending her garden and pushing through each day with quiet determination. Love, for her, lives only in memory. But when Bishop King begins visiting the families of the area, something gentle begins to bloom between the two. Their connection deepens over shared tea in the herb garden and quiet conversation on a bench beneath the lilac tree. Just as new feelings take root, Susanna’s middle daughter, Lydia, begins to resist the change. Grieving her father’s absence and fearing what new love might erase, she draws a line between the past and the future. With a community watching, a family under strain, and their own hearts caught between caution and hope, Eli and Susanna must decide what it truly means to move forward. Is it selfish to seek joy again, or could it be the deepest act of faith?
