Katie has always imagined her life being just like Mamms. Its why she chose baptism and why shell soon marry Abram Zook. But ever since Hannah left, the only thing that truly makes Katie smile is the sketchpad in which she indulges her talent for drawing facesa sin that, if discovered, could get her shunned by her family, her friends, and even Abram. Yet Katie sees her secret pastime as the only way to quiet a growing restlessness shed just as soon ignore. That is until their Mamms untimely death brings Hannah back home to Pennsylvania, with a new outlook on life, a man she adores, and, soon, an invitation for Katie to visit her in New York City. Suddenly, Katie is experiencing a freedom shes never had, in a world she never imagined.

But its when Hannah shows Katies drawings to a gallery owner that she truly finds herself at a crossroads between the only life shes ever known and the powerful lure of an unfamiliar future.
