Summary:
Spring is in the air: As the young people of Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, plant a memorial garden, Katie Ann begins to worry that her older brother, Ephraim, is dating her best friend. What if she somehow loses them both? But Christian, a new boy in the community, also works in the garden. Falling for him may be exactly the distraction, and lesson, that Katie Ann needs. --

Home by summer: Clara Hertzler is surprised when Jerry Petersheim, her old friend, comes to the garden to drop off his younger sister-especially because Jerry has been gone for years now and seems to be living as an Englisher. As the friends get to know each other again, Clara pushes Jerry to examine why he abandoned his Amish beliefs. Will Clara help Jerry renew his faith in God, and will they find love beneath the summer sun? --

The fruits of fall: Tena Speicher has come to live in Bird-in-Hand after her finacé left her for an English woman. When a stranger comes to the harvest stand one day and asks for food, Tena is not sure how to respond-but Wayne intervenes and offers to let him stay in the barn. Afraid to trust Englishers, Tena must learn, with Wayne's help, that everyone is a child of God and deserving of kindness. --

Winter blessings: Ephraim and Mandy have dated for some time and now have plans to marry. But after a series of unexpected events and misunderstandings, they wonder if they should go their separate ways. What will happen when their friends at the Amish garden conspire to bring them back together? --
