Emma Graber discovers after leaving on Rumspringa, that her one night with Jesse Beiler whom she has loved since they were children, has left her carrying his baby. She's afraid to go home for fear of being shunned, but she has no choice, she has no place else to go. Emma wishes she could go back and make a different choice when Jesse proposed, but that wasn't possible. When she told him she had to experience the Englischer's World, Jesse was so upset with Emma's decision to go ahead and leave, that he threatened not to wait for her, but she left anyway. Now six months later she's on her way back home regretting that she ever left, but was it too late? Had Jesse followed through with his threat and found someone else? Even if he hadn't would their Bishop and community forgive them for breaking the rules and allow them to be together? Or would they both be shunned and forced to leave the community and their families?
