This story has a lot to say regarding the topic of love. Sarah Cain is a columnist for a respected newspaper but her creative juices have been running low and her readership has been dwindling. Her boyfriend, Brian, is quite serious about her although she somehow seems oblivious to it. Then one day she receives a life-changing phone call that her sister, Ivy, has died. Sarah and Ivy had been raised together in an orphanage until Ivy fell in love with an Amish man and converted to his faith and became his wife. Sarah never quite forgave her for leaving her behind.

Now the five children Ivy and her husband had need a parent as the oldest child is sixteen and won’t be able to care for her younger brothers and sisters until she is eighteen. Sarah has been made the guardian of the children by her sister and she decides to move the children to the city to live with her. The resulting experiences and episodes make for some interesting story telling. When Sarah begins writing about the children’s experiences in her column, her readership begins to soar. Ultimately, Sarah finds that there are people who genuinely love her. She just didn’t have her eyes open.
