Fifteen-year-old Hannah and her family move from Lancaster, Pennsylvania to North Dakota, where they face harsh realities far from any Amish communities, and force her to work on a ranch where she meets a charismatic English boy. - Perseus Publishing
Hannah is a fifteen-year-old Amish girl who lives on her familyâs farm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. When her family, hit hard by the Great Depression, loses their farm, Hannahâs father decides itâs time for a fresh start. Destitute but inspired by grand plans and dreams of a better future west of Lancaster, he loads his family and what little they have left into their covered wagon.
They settle in North Dakota, hundreds of miles from any Amish community. Hannahâs mother does her best to be a good wife, supporting her husband as they try to build a new life in a wholly unfamiliar place.
Things arenât going quite as Hannahâs father had imaginedâhis visions of success are shattered by the reality that his knowledge of farming in Lancaster isnât of much use in Midwestern soil. With the fields barren and her family on the verge of starvation, Hannah decides to take matters into her own hands. She goes into town looking for a job and finds one at a cattle ranch, where she meets charismatic ranch hand Clay Jenkins.
Clay is drawn to the independent, strong-willed newcomer. As they work together at the ranch, Hannah grapples with her own feelings for Clay, an English boy. Her life is more uncertain than ever. With Hannahâs help, will her family get back on their feet and prosper in North Dakota? And what will happen with Clay Jenkins?
