SynopsisClara Bender believes a visit to Hickory Hollow may help her find direction after her father remarries. While restoring an heirloom quilt with her great-aunt Ella Mae Zook, the two form a warm bond. When Clara's life is again upended by an unexpected incident and a young Amish man, will she find where her heart belongs?, This heartwarming prequel to The Shunning is a tender story of love, belonging, and the courage to move forward. After her widowed father remarries, nineteen-year-old Clara Bender is no longer needed to help run his household. Marriage seems like her best hope of moving out, but there are few young men in her tiny Indiana Amish community. When she comes across letters from her mother's aunt Ella Mae Zook, she sets off to visit Lancaster County's Hickory Hollow to decide where her future lies.Ella Mae is not quite ready to move from the farmhouse where she and her recently deceased husband spent over fifty happy years, but her children are eager to resettle her, making Clara's visit seem like an answer to prayer. The two women form a warm bond while restoring an heirloom wedding quilt and sharing their lives, with Ella Mae confiding about a tragedy from her courting years. Eventually, Ella Mae suggests Clara stay for the summer, allowing Ella Mae more time with her and giving Clara an opportunity to meet the area's eligible young men. But when the unexpected happens, will Clara find where her heart truly belongs?
