She's put on probation, and one wrong step\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e could cost her the position permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joshua Esh of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, moved\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e to Missouri ostensibly as part of the man swap meant to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e bring new blood into the community. Annie Beiler caught\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e his attention the moment he arrived in Seymour, but he's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e disheartened to discover that she is promised to another\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e man Luke, who left the Amish but vowed to return one\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e day and claim \"his\" Annie. So, Josh fills his social calendar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e with singings and frolics, taking a different girl home from\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e every event with the exception of Annie, since she is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e already committed to someone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e When Luke comes home, Annie pushes him away, and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Josh Esh comes to her rescue. But the situation becomes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e awkward, since Josh is staying with Luke's family. An\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e awareness of each other's attraction to Annie causes the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e awkwardness to escalate, and Annie's father soon invites\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Josh to stay with his family. But not all of the Beilers are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e happy about this new arrangement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura V.
