Shy Ruth Kauffman is excited when Charles Polk asks her on a date. He's handsome, hardworking, and seems genuinely interested in her (unlike the last boy she had a crush on). But Charles and his parents aren't Mennonite--at least not yet. They're seriously considering joining Ruthie's church and embracing a simple life. Yet some people at Ruthie's Sarasota church disapprove of the Polks and refuse to accept them into the community. When a disaster strikes Charles's family, Ruthie is caught in the middle. Can she trust Charlie--and her growing feelings for him-- enough to stand by him?
