New York-based lawyer Bill and his wife Jenny, a fashion stylist, leave everything they know behind so he can follow his dream to become a minister in rural Wyoming. Both believe that their destinies are linked forever. Fast forward 38 years. Robert is an independent book publisher in Manhattan. Lillibet is a young Amish woman, caring for her widowed father and three young brothers on their family farm. In secret at night, by candlelight, she writes a novel. When it falls into Robert's hands, he falls in love with it, and then with the woman he's never met. These two remarkable relationships come together in unexpected and surprising ways in a novel about courage, change, risk and hope ... and love that never dies.
