Here, Lewis continues the saga of Nellie Mae Fisher, whose Amish family embraces a "New Order" personal faith that defies the "Old Order" beliefs they’ve always held dear. Nellie hopes to marry Caleb Yoder, but because of her family’s change of belief, Caleb’s father forbids him to marry Nellie on pain of losing his inheritance. Nellie’s si
