Will you forgive your father who gave you up for adoption?

Gabrielle Weaver has spent nearly a year mourning the loss of her dear Samuel, the love of her life and father of her twin daughters. When she decides to move back to his hometown in order to be close to his family, she never realizes that everything in her life is about to change again, for her and her little girls. They are in a new school, helping her meet new people and make new friends, but because of the move, she also meets someone from her past that she never expected to see again.

Her father, James Stoltzfoos, gave her up for adoption when she was just a little girl. His wife had just died and he had no idea of how to care for a small child, so he made the best possible choice that he could imagine—he gave her up to another family and moved away. Now that he’s been faced with his own mortality, James knows that it’s time to make amends with the daughter he still loves with his whole heart, especially if he hopes to create a relationship with her and his grandchildren before it’s too late.

“I am sorry that I have hurt you. I am sorrier that you will never understand. I have felt guilty since I gave you up. I was a grieving mann with no knowledge of how to look after a dochtah. You are my only kinner; I did not have the experience of years of knowledge,” said James.

“You left town. You could have stayed and still been a part of my life even if I were living with another shtamm,” said Gabrielle.

“I felt that it was better to make it a clean break so that you could have a chance with your new shtamm,” said James.

“You cannot just replace a shtamm…”

Young John has finally chosen a wife, a beautiful schoolteacher named Sadie, and the love he has for her is returned by an equally deep passion. Instead of waiting to marry in November, they are hoping to start a life together in June, so long as their bishop will approve the unlikely couple. She has helped him overcome his speech impediment, and he does not care that she has no family to help support them during their first years together.

His family does care, however, and they worry that his future will be less than bright with pretty Sadie, even though they believe that she’s a sweet girl and nothing against her personally. John must decide whether he wants to move ahead without having his parents’ full blessing…or perhaps it’s time to listen to their advice and choose a different bride, even though he will never love her the same…

Will Gabrielle find forgiveness in her heart for the repentant man who gave her up for adoption decades ago—all without ever uttering another word until they rediscovered each other?

Can John choose between the love of his life and his family’s blessing when times get rough?

Does James deserve his daughter’s forgiveness—and is it time for him to move on with his life finally—perhaps even court again?
