Amy Yoder feels pressure from her Amish parents and her pregnant friend Rose to join the Amish church. Rose worries about dying from breast cancer, like her mother and grandmother did, so she wants Amy to marry her husband, David. Then her baby will be raised by them in an Amish home. Amy doesn’t love David and is dating Joe Barrett, a Catholic man and a paramedic. But will devout Joe give up his Catholic faith to become Amish for her? Does she want him to leave his faith that is important to him? With mounting pressure to take the baptism instructions, Amy decides to move out of her parents’ home to an apartment. Maybe there she can decide what to do about her life.

When Jonas is born, Amy falls in love with the adorable baby. Although Rose wants her to adopt Jonas if both she and David die, how can Amy consider taking the baptism instructions when she loves Joe? She won’t be able to continue to see Joe if she decides to join the Amish church. As the feelings between Amy and Joe grow deeper, can they overcome their dissimilar faiths, or will their differences pull them apart?
