"Joseph was always his father's favorite son--but it cost him everything. When his brothers grow jealous of their father's favoritism toward Joseph, they frame him for a terrible crime, forcing him to leave home as a teen and live with family friends who are Amish. In Unity, Maine, Mr. and Mrs. Beachy trust Joseph completely when they see how wise he is. They even let him run their business, which he turns into a wildly profitable furniture-making company. Everything he touches prospers. When Mrs. Beachy has a dream about her troubled daughter Samantha, Joseph interprets it, saying that Samantha will betray the family in some way. She dismisses the idea, not believing her daughter could ever deceive her. Samantha sees how wise and handsome Joseph is and is determined to make him fall in love with her, but he only sees her as a friend. After once again being blamed for a crime he did not commit, Joseph finds himself in jail, where he still finds a way to prosper. When he returns to Unity, he has lost the trust of almost everyone except for the fearless and optimistic Laura Miller, a local Amish baker. Will Joseph regain the trust of the Amish community so that he can join the Amish and marry the woman of his dreams, or will tragic events and family deceptions continue to keep them apart?" -- Back cover.
