Synopsis

When Anna decides it's time to leave her abusive boyfriend, she doesn't know where to turn. Rob has completely won over her parents, and the entire community, with his good looks and smooth charm. Only Anna has seen his dark side. Desperate, she runs to the only place she's ever felt completely safe--the Amish Brenneman Bed and Breakfast, where Anna met life-long friend Katie Brenneman. The family welcomes her in, and with few questions asked allows her to stay, dressed in Plain clothing, and help around the inn. Katie's older brother Henry is the only one who doesn't take too kindly to the intrusion. He tries to ignore Anna, knowing no good would ever come from caring for an Englisher like her. But as he gets to know Anna, he discovers her good heart and is surprised with her readiness to accept their lifestyle. The more time Anna spends with the Amish, the more she feels she's found a true home. But how can she deny the life she left behind? And will her chance for happiness be stolen away by the man from her past?

Synopsis:

Anna's boyfriend Rob is a successful and powerful person in the community who has completely won over her parents with his good looks and prestigious position at a top law firm. But when Rob hurts Anna yet again, she realizes that she must finally help herself. Desperate, she runs to the one place she's always felt completely safe, the Brenneman Bed and Breakfast, where years ago she and her mother once stayed, and where Anna met life-long friend Katie. When Anna shows up unexpectedly, the family welcomes her in, with few questions asked, and allow her to stay, dressed as the Amish, and help around the inn.But Katie's older brother Henry doesn't take too kindly to the intrusion. Anna wonders if it's because he's already had his heart broken. After courting steadily, Rachel Baar left him for an English man, dispelling Henry's dreams of a future with her. To Henry's shame, from the moment he sees Anna, he feels a strong attraction. To cover his infatuation, he tries to ignore her, knowing no good would ever come from keeping an eye on a fancy woman like her. But as he sees that Anna has a good heart and is not the selfish, spoiled woman he imagined her to be, he feels his heart melting towards her. Anna comes to realize that she's found a home and true love in the last place she'd expected. But will her chance for happiness be stolen away by the man who can't seem to let her go?
