Emma Lapp tries to be the perfect daughter, to earn the loving embrace of her family and her Amish community in Pennsylvania. Yet she can't quite win her mother's smileβor her forgiveness for a transgression Emma can't quite place . . .
Emma knows she's the source of her mother's greatest sorrow, having been born on the same day Mamm lost her beloved sister.

Searching for answers, Emma travels to the English world and finds a kinship as intriguing as it is forbidden. But is this newfound connection enough to leave behind the future she'd expected? The answers are as mysterious, and as devastating, as the truth that divides Emma from the only family, and the only life, she's ever...
