Excerpt

Chapter One
That fancy black car looks out of place on an Amish farm.
Sadie peered out the window in her kitchen toward the guesthouse. She’d had plenty of Englisch visitors who arrived in fine automobiles, but this car was long and sleek—like it belonged to a movie star. Her guest insisted it be parked inside the barn, protected from the wintry elements. She stared past the open barn doors and strained to have a better look. ... view entire excerpt...

Discussion Questions

1. In the beginning Sadie is convinced that Milo is perfect for her even though she has never met him in person. If Sadie had never met Kade, do you think she would have married Milo?

2. Kade travels to Lancaster County to escape his life, but ends up finding more than he’s ever anticipated. What are some of the things he discovered in Lancaster County? Have you ever traveled somewhere and expected one thing, only to find another? What do you think would’ve happened to Kade if he had never visited Lancaster County?

3. Twice, Tyler quotes readings from the Bible to both Sadie and Kade. Do you think these are coincidences, or was God trying to reach Sadie and Kade through Tyler? Has there ever been a time when you thought God was trying to reach you through another person?
