Lizzie is an Amish woman who doesn't like change. She wants things to remain as they are but is smart enough to realize that things aren't always going to be the way they are now.
She has harbored a lifelong crush on Elam ever since she saw him on a schoolyard years ago. She fantasizes about a life with him but never lets her feelings known. But when their paths continue to cross, Lizzie begins to wonder if Gott is putting them together or if it is just wishful thinking.
