Since she was a little girl, Marisa Angelo has been haunted by the image of her mother walking away, suitcase in hand, to return to her Amish roots.

Now Marisa has received a shocking call from the police. Her mother's bloodstained suitcase was found hidden in a Pennsylvania Dutch farmhouse. Desperate for answers, Marisa heads to Lancaster County. But no one – not the police or Marisa's tight–lipped Amish relatives – can explain what happened to her mother.

Only one man is as determined as Marisa to unravel the mystery – Link Morgan, the handsome ex–military loner who found the suitcase in the house he inherited from his uncle.

The secret lies somewhere in the quaint Amish settlement. But there's someone who will do anything to ensure the truth remains hidden forever.
