Summary: Jonah Miller was left at the altar by the love of his life. He hopes he left heartbreak behind when he moves from Pennsylvania to Illinois, settling into a new Amish community as a buggy maker. He starts to court Elaine Schock, who works with her grandmother to host dinners in their home for tourists. But when her grandfather suddenly dies and her grandmother -- her only living relative -- slips into dementia, Elaine ignores her growing love for Jonah and sets him free to look for love elsewhere. Jonah is sure he won't find a love a third time. Is God calling him to remain single, or does he have a different plan for the lonely Amish man?
