Christian Ropp moves to Birch Creek to accept a teaching position in the rapidly growing Amish community. He's determined to put the school in order as well as check another task off his list: finding a wife. When an accident puts Christian out of commission, Ruby Glick takes over his classroom. But Ruby's exuberant teaching style clashes with Christian's careful methods. She's desperate for a chance to prove that she can do more than make mistakes in her life, but when Christian can't seem to stay out of her way she finds herself slipping into old, chaotic tendencies. -- adapted from back cover
