After two unfulfilling marriages, Rosanna Troyer expects little from life. Hard work, family, and faith are all that she counts on. Her days are spent on the farm, helping her son and supporting her daughter. For Rosanna, her future is clear and settled.
The sudden death of a beloved bishop leaves the small Amish community searching for new leadership. Unfortunately, old disagreements start to surface about the best way to live the Plain Life. One outspoken woman's criticism over a red dress escalates the situation. The issue grows into something far larger. Personal convictions are pushed upon on friends and neighbors alike and tension spreads through the Amish church district. What began as differences of opinion turns into sources of division.
Suddenly, the peacefulness of the entire community is threatened. Rosanna is faced with a choice, one that she spent most of her life avoiding: remain silent or stand up for what she knows is right.
The difficult challenges teach Rosanna that faith requires more than obedience, and that courage sometimes comes in unexpected forms. Sometimes God's blessings arrive when they are least expected.
In this heartwarming return to the world of An Empty Cup, Sarah Price delivers a moving story that focuses on faith, family, and forgiveness while reminding readers about the dangers of passing judgment on others.
