Annie, an Old Order Mennonite of 19 years of age, has been having issues with her Mamm, who wants her to date boys. In having issues with her mom, she is sent to her grandfather's home. There, Aeden who has a stutter and a wheelchair bound twin brother, is a hard working Amish man of 22 years of age. Annie has been working at Aeden's family's diner while visiting, in which her grandfather has been helping out with. The problem is that a Mennonite girl has no place in an Amish boy's heart, for that would be wrong since they both have made their vows as members of the church.

This book is filled with drama and heartaches and frustrations and I cried so much while reading the last fifty pages (my husband was in shock because I never cry after reading a book, and he sees me read a couple books a week). It was so good! My one issue was that the main character's name is Annie and her love interest's last name is Zook. . .like the Annie's People series by Beverly Lewis. . .unless it was an homage to it, but thankfully the story was different. I liked this!!
