Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Author Beverly Lewis' best-selling novel comes to the screen in this drama about a sheltered Amish girl whose enduring faith is put to the ultimate test. Oppressed by the austere rules that govern her close-knit Amish community, young Katie Lapp (Danielle Panabaker) begins to doubt her origins after a wealthy stranger (Sherry Stringfield) comes to town asking questions about her past. Before long Katie begins to suspect that her entire existence has been constructed on a fragile foundation of lies, and that the people who have raised her since childhood have been deceiving her all along.
