Just because you are Amish doesn’t mean it can’t happen to you. Maisy gave her heart and more to an Englisch boy during rumspringa. Not that is at an end and he is off to college and Maisy is pregnant. To lessen the talk, Maisy goes to Haven, Kansas to quietly live with her cousin.

Living in Haven does help but there is Joshua who isn’t bothered to be seen with her despite the local bishop’s “guidance”. There is a reason why Joshua ignores the warning and it’s linked to the death of his twin brother.

Imagine a man who grew up Amish but now Englisch, and could be called the horse whisperer. He understands abuse and trauma in animals. Now view a lovely Amish woman who is tramatized by witnessing her parents killed in there store by an Englischer. Her anxiety being around any Englisch or leaving the safe place, the farm.

Miriam’s family has an injured & traumatized gelding. Breeze trusts NO human except in a very small way he doesn’t fear Miriam — perhaps because she understands his fear.

Enter Reuben Brenneman, former Amish, well-known for his ability to save a horse and create a well-behaved animal. What he doesn’t realize is he can do the same in a small way for a young woman who only recently was able to leave her house. It only took a year.
