Hannah Zook, an Amish young woman of seventeen, dreamed of running away and meeting an English man. Two weeks from her eighteenth birthday, Hannah's father picked out three Amish suitors for her to choose from insisting that she marry as well as join the church on her birthday. To avoid having to do her father's bidding, she ran away to the city with her second cousin Uziah whose dream was to become a doctor. In the end, will the two Amish runaways chose education instead of love and marriage?
