So she instantly reaches out to her old schoolmate, Felty Helmuth, when their Amish town ostracizes him for his Korean War army service. Hes still the only one whos ever understood Anna--and liked everything from her green Jello carrot salads to her love of books.

And in the face of family and community opposition, he and Anna will take a leap of faith to prove they are made for each other--and a lifetime of happiness.
