Widower Frederick Ropp has lost his guiding light. Since the unexpected death of his wife Frederick has avoided attachments as much as possible wandering from place to place. Upon arriving in Faith’s Creek Frederick is embraced by the people and encouraged to start anew but he’s not certain he’s ready.

Linda Bontrager is an indomitable young woman determined to keep her Grandfather’s carpentry business afloat after he suffers a stroke. While Linda is doing her best, she is exhausted but can not see a way out of the problem. The last thing she wants is a husband. When the Bishop suggests she takes on a newcomer she suspects that this is a way to push her to marriage and she will not have it.

It’s a rocky start for Frederick and Linda. Linda cannot let go and Fredrick is constantly reminded of what he lost. All he wants is to be alone. Mistrust and arguments take up more time than work, but neither can deny the connection between them.

Will Frederick put his faith in Gott once again and find love with Linda?

Can Linda put her fear of the past aside and take a chance on love with Frederick?
