Ten years after her sister died in a school shooting, Willa King is still struggling with the religious mandate to forgive, as the Amish so famously did after a man shot 13 girls in a one-room Amish school house, killing five. Now 18 years old, Willa is in her Rumspringa, the time when the Amish turn a blind eye to those who are able to go out into the English world before choosing to join the Amish faith for life. As the lives of Willa and her sisters intersect with the English world and its customs, she forms a relationship with Sofia Robinson, the daughter of the man who shot her sister before taking his own life. Although Willa is searching for a sign from God to guide her baptismal decision and to grant her the forgiveness that she has been seeking since her sister's death, it is her friendship with Sofia that ultimately teaches her the most about grace. This friendship paves a path forward to both Sofia and Willa in ways they've always dreamed of but never believed.
