Synopsis

In a struggling Amish settlement on the harsh Colorado plain, Abbie Weaver refuses to concede defeat to hail, drought, and coyotes, even as families begin to give up and return east.

She must choose between a quiet love with someone in her cherished church, passion with a man determined to leave the church, or imagining her life with neither.
