Ruth Kauffman sees herself as just plain, dull, and uninteresting compared to her lively gregarious sister, Barbara. She has resigned herself to a spinster’s life, one where she will never marry, instead staying at home to care for her parents. Although she loves her parents very much, Ruth can’t help but feel a little envious of her close friend, Henrietta King, who has a beautiful, spirited young daughter, Eliza.
When she meets handsome Jonah Schmucker at her sister’s wedding, she cannot believe that he could possibly be interested in her.
Henrietta encourages their burgeoning romance and Ruth begins to think that her life may have a different future than the one she first thought. That is until Jonah informs her that he does not see having children of his own as a part of his future.
But surely that is part of God’s Plan, isn’t it?
Can Ruth reconcile with the fact that Jonah is a good Amish man who simply doesn’t want children?
Will a desperate accident force Jonah to reappraise his life and finally discover what God has planned for him?
