Sarah Miller's life has been a constant struggle since her husband's passing. With a young daughter to raise and a farm to run, every season is a test of strength. When her ranch hand leaves for the Englisch world, the looming winter threatens to steal away more than just her livelihood-it could take her hope as well.
Jacob Beiler was on the brink of building a future as a skilled carpenter, his hands shaping more than wood-shaping dreams. But when his brother leaves the Amish and brings shame on the family, Jacob is shunned, cast out from the community he's always known. Stripped of his workshop and reputation, he's forced to trade his tools for the plow when Sarah offers him work on her fields.
As they labor side by side, an unspoken connection blooms-one rooted in mutual hardship, quiet kindness, and the shared ache of loss. Yet, their fragile bond is tested when the bishop's wife enforces the harsh rules of shunning, threatening to tear apart the only chance they have at survival and companionship.
In a world where duty and tradition clash with the human heart, Sarah and Jacob must decide: is the cost of defying the rules worth the chance to save each other?
Can two outcasts find love and redemption, or will the weight of the past keep them apart forever?
