Mark Miller has spent countless years in love with Hannah Sommers. Only months apart in age, the two grew up together in the close knit Amish community in Ohio. Then Mark was devastated to learn that his family would be leaving the state to move to another Amish settlement in Maine.
Over the years, though, his affection for Hannah never waned; nor did her love for him. They continued to write letters and shared their lives through the written word. Mark begins building what he hopes will be their home together and shares his accomplishments with Hannah.
But Mark soon realizes that Hannah’s Rumspringa – her time to explore the English world and decide if she wants to remain with the Amish – is coming up. What if she falls in love with another man? What if she decides her future does not include him?
Does she even truly know his heart, or has he taken it for granted that she does… and truly feels the same?
He quickly writes to her to make sure she knows he intends to marry her, if she will have him. He also posts a letter to her father, asking for his permission to marry Hannah, if she agrees to be his bride.
Shockingly, Hannah’s father refuses to give his consent or his blessing. Brokenhearted, Hannah is determined to pursue her future with Mark. As soon as her beloved chicks hatch, she will take the new clutch with her.
When the day comes, though, will Hannah have the courage to defy her father and travel to Maine without his blessing?
