Charles Polk and his family are considering becoming Mennonite. But after living in the world all their lives, could they really live like the simple folk? Ruthie Kauffman can’t help the funny things she feels when she’s around Charles, but with all the trouble his presence is causing in the church, surely they can’t be more than friends. When disaster strikes and rumors explode into full-blown accusation, Ruthie and Charles must decide who to trust—man or God. But only God can fix this mess!

Born out of wedlock to a former Mennonite girl, Mary Penner lived on the edge of society until the day her mother was killed in a drug bust. Sent back to her grandparents at age fourteen, she found fitting in with their simple society very difficult.

Abe Glick has been fascinated with Mary Penner since the first day she walked into his life. But capturing her heart will be a difficult task since Mary keeps it locked up tight, hidden behind walls of self-imposed guilt and pain.

Three young women of the Pinecraft Mennonite community find their plain and contented lives disrupted by love. Mary can’t seem to escape the stigma of the sins of her mother’s past, but Abe just wants a chance to show Mary how little he cares for rumors and how much he cares for her. Shelley can’t deny the strong connection she feels to Jeremiah, despite his reckless reputation. Has he truly changed? Ruthie finds herself falling for a young man who is not even Mennonite. Are he and his family sincere about joining the church—or just out to take advantage of the good people of Pinecraft?
