Rhoda Byler's gift with plants leads to the enmity of a young man in her Old Order Amish community, but when she meets Samuel King, whose orchard is struggling, he suggests that they can solve each other's problems. - Random House, Inc.
In a community where conformity flourishes, seeds of Rhodaâs odd behavior were planted long ago. Can she cultivate her relationships with the same care and tenderness that she gives her beloved garden?
Â
Old Order Amish Rhoda Bylerâs unusual gift and her remarkable abilities to grow herbs and berries have caused many to think her odd. As rumors mount that Rhodaâs âgiftâ is a detriment to the community, she chooses isolation, spending her time in her fruit garden and on her thriving canning business.Â
Â
Miles away in Harvest Mills, Samuel King struggles to keep his familyâs apple orchard profitable. As the eldest son, Samuel farms with his brothers, the irrepressible Jacob and brash Eli, while his longtime girlfriend Catherine remains hopeful that Samuel will marry her when he feels financially stable.Â
Â
Meanwhile, Samuelâs younger sister Leah is testing all the boundaries during her rumschpringe, and finds herself far from home in Rhodaâs garden after a night of partying gone badly. But Leahâs poor choices serve as a bridge between Rhoda and the King family when a tragic mistake in the orchard leaves Samuel searching for solutions.
Rhodaâs expertise in canning could be the answer, but she struggles with guilt over the tragic death of her sister and doesnât trust herself outside her garden walls. As the lines between business, love, and family begin to blur, can Rhoda finally open up to a new life? And what effect will this odd, amazing woman have on the entire King family?
