Now Rebecca wonders how she is going to take on this daunting task of being an Amish woman raising two English teenagers. Rebecca struggles to give the girls the guidance they need as she tries to fulfill her duties as an Amish wife. The strain between Rebecca and Daniel mounts as the girls search for their identity in this new home. Caught between her husband's disapproval and her nieces' unhappiness, Rebecca begins to question her place in the Amish community, her marriage, and her faith in God.
