Katie and Matthew

When Jonas Esch's house is ravaged by fire, Katie Byler joins the rest of the Amish community to fight the flames. Katie is joined in the fire-fighting by handsome Henry Christner who, despite Katie's best efforts, has failed to ask her on any buggy rides. When Henry shows his resentment for Matthew, a young man he considers to be an outsider, Katie comes up with a plan to make Henry notice her. But is there more to the Englischer who rushed to be baptized than meets the eyes, and are Henry's fears about the man real?

Katie Byler is almost ready to commit to the Amish life, but before she does, she wants just one taste of Englisch life. However, her beau, Matthew, an outsider until recently, refuses to help her experience it. Katie is confused as to why? When Katie's sister Mary rushes in with some unpleasant news, the pieces begin to slot into place. But is there more to the Amish outsider's lies than meets the eye?
