Though the doctors say her cancer is in remission, Dr. Silvia
Metzger feels deep down that her days could be numbered. Following
the stirring inside her soul, Silvia leaves her faculty position as
a university professor in search of peace and tranquility. She
relocates to Lancaster County in Pennsylvania, renting a tiny cabin
on the farm of an elderly Amish couple.
Meanwhile, the couple's neighbor, eligible bachelor Joseph Zook,
has been doing what he can to help out with the farmwork despite
having a lame foot. He wonders if his disability is partly why he's
been unable to win the heart of an Amish woman.
As Silvia settles into her new surroundings, she realizes that this
community's ways are exactly what she's been looking for and makes
a life-changing decision to become Amish. And when Silvia meets
Joseph, God plants a seed that could grow into something
beautiful.
Experience the incredible power of love and second chances in this
charming prequel to Silvia's Rose.
