Description: The death of Jacob Lapp, beloved member of the Amish community and builder of the Stony Field Farm Stand, is difficult for all. On the day of Jacob's funeral, his beloved daughter Miriam must deal with her grief as well as mounting apprehension over seeing her sister Sarah, who left to live the Englisch life several years ago. Sarah's arrival forces Miriam to face the problems in her marriage. She has been unable to give her husband, Daniel, a child and fears he is not happy. Miriam has always suspected that Daniels's heart truly lies with her sister, and she worries about the effect Sarah's return will have on their already strained marriage. But when a disaster threatens the farm stand, everyone must come together.
