On the eve of her wedding to a handsome Amish widower, Katie makes the shocking discovery that threatens to unravel the only life she's ever known. Why would Katie's mother, a simple Amish woman who embraces the Old Ways, keep a beautiful satin baby dress in a world of woolen cape dresses? And why is an "Englisher" woman searching for Katie?
