She has only one ally: Joseph Young, a handsome Amish man with whom she&’s struck up an unlikely flirtation in the bakery where she works. He&’s knowledgeable, steadfast—and when they join forces, April&’s life takes a radical turn . . . In the heart of Amish farm country, April and Joseph grow closer.
