As high school ends, Zane Beck can't help but look at his Amish neighbor, Lila Lehman, with different eyes. Her father arranges for her to be courted by an upstanding young Amish man, but even when Zane impulsively enlists in the Army, the passing of years and the distance between them isn't enough to halt their feelings for each other. Zane is sent to Afghanistan, and the reality of taking a life has him questioning whether he can continue to serve. With Lila preparing to marry another, will these one-time sweethearts ever find the life together that they both still long for?
