Description
Summer 1951 brings little hope for Maggie Esh. Despite her chronic illness, she's treated kindly by the young men in her community. Yet she longs to be like other courting-age girls, living a normal life. Complications arise when Dat remarries, just over a year after his mother's death. His new wife, Rachel, is much younger than Maggie's Mamm and struggles to understand her illness. The arrival of tent revival meetings sparks curiosity in Maggie. The words of the Mennonite preacher challenge her views on faith, making her question everything she thought she knew. Can she learn to trust God even when hope seems lost? Maggie's story is one of self-discovery and finding solace in her faith during a time of uncertainty.
