Author Description

"Katy Yoder lives a simple, sheltered lifestyle ensconced in the traditions of the Conservative Mennonite church and holds a naive black-and-white world view. With her parents' approval, she moves in with a childhood friend. But after taking a temporary nanny position, gray begins to cloud her world and forces her to bend the rules. On top of that, her friends clutter her mind with their progressive ideas--like ditching the prayer cap--forcing Kathy to delve into these issues herself. She emerges even more obstinate about her cherished traditions. And she turns judgmental toward those who believe differently... including former flame, Jake Byler, who has returned from sowing his wild oats to win back her heart. Certain he's not the man for her, Katy's not prepared when Jake's patience begins to wear a hole in the wall she 's built around it. But this time, can bending keep her heart from breaking?"--[p. 4] of cover.
