Amish mothers Doris Schrock and her best friend, Marge Gundy, decide to play matchmaker for their two adult children. Since Marge is traveling east to take care of her ailing mother, this would give her daughter a place to stay. However, Lucinda Gundy and Jeremy Schrock couldn’t be more opposed to the idea. While neither are courting others, the idea of their mothers’ conspiring to put them together couldn’t be more unappealing.

Lucinda tries everything to avoid moving to the Schrock farm in Ohio, but all avenues fail her, and she makes the move right before Thanksgiving. But she is on a mission to find another place to live and work as soon as possible. Jeremy has his own plans, staying aloof and avoiding Lucinda altogether—maybe if he pretends there isn’t a guest in the house, the problem will take care of itself.

However, the longer Lucinda stays, the more their paths cross. Lucinda has an artistic flair about her, and Jeremy’s leather-working side business draws her in more than she cares to admit. When Jeremy is faced with a problem bigger than he can handle on his own, he’s forced to turn to Lucinda. And now the two will come face to face with another issue—their attraction toward each other.
