Inspiring tale filled with romance and many interesting facts about Amish life and beliefs. Cara Moore is a single mother from New York who flees with her daughter, Laurie, to escape a stalker. Destitute, she follows memories and her mother's journal to travel to Dry Lake, Pennsylvania where she hides in a barn and "borrows" necessities. Unfortunately, when she moves into Ephraim Mast's house with Laurie and he moves into his workshop, the community is incensed and Ephraim is shunned. Ephraim dares to live by God's command to "Be Me to her." Cara is drawn to the comfort found in the Bible and Ephraim. Ephraim's sister, Deborah, is also undergoing strife as her fiance, Mahlon Stolzfus, decides to leave the Amish community. His experience in New York during 9/11 makes it difficult for him to continue its separatist views. Excellent story of faith, determination, being true to one's inner self, and the importance and impact of family and community.
