Sarah Kauffman sought permission from church elders to paint murals on the Amish community's barns. Each was designed like an old-fashioned quilt square, representing a piece of the Amish traditions Sarah loved. The works of art were intended to draw more tourists to the Home Valley. But instead, they invited a menace. One by one, each barn is set ablaze and destroyed...
The arson fires spread fear through the community--amongst Amish and Englischers alike. Sarah wonders if she's being punished for her pridefulness...or whether there's a more malevolent will at work.
As an outsider, arson investigator Nate MacKenzie struggles to investigate the crimes while adhering to Amish ways. With Sarah as his guide, he warms to the Plain People and their simple ways. As the fires rage, beliefs are challenged, a way of life is questioned and family secrets are exposed. In the aftermath the people of the Home Valley must join together to raise their barns and their hopes for the future.
