Wyatt was surprised and deeply hurt when his college girlfriend dumped their after their graduation. He can't help being attracted to Anna. He asks her to go flying with him, but will she risk it? Flying is forbidden by their church district. She hasn't taken her kneeling vows, so what could be the problem? If she asks for permission, her father will definitely say no. Anna doesn't like to be secretive, but she wants adventure in her life. When his cousin, Clint Lambright, becomes interested in the beautiful Anna and takes her home after a youth get-together, Wyatt isn't pleased. He doesn't want the competition, especially since Clint is Amish. Anna notices Wyatt never complains about missing certain things like: electricity, television, and air conditioning in his grandmother's house. Would Wyatt be able to leave his world to join their Plain church, so they could have a future together? In spite of Clint's interest in her, Anna feels God might have brought Wyatt to Fields Corner because he could be the one for her.
