Synopsis: It's bad enough that Zanna abandoned James Graber and disgraced her family on her wedding day, but when she tells her older sister, Abby, that she's pregnant, things get even worse. As speculation whirls around Cedar Creek, Zanna confesses and is shunned, yet refuses to reveal the identity of her child's father. She spends her time at Abby's house making rag rugs, until Adah Ropp insists on knowing the father's identity. Finally, Zanna reveals that it is Adah’s own son, rebellious Jonny Ropp. As Abby guides her sister through some tough times she convinces her family and the bishop that because Zanna truly loves this baby, she should be allowed to keep it. Meanwhile, because Abby has always been secretly in love with James, she tries to soothe his wounds as he watches the young woman he was to marry swell with Jonny Ropp's child. Cedar Creek is in crisis - until the Ropp home burns to the ground and the residents begin to put forgiveness into action.
