Eli was a dreamer and through his teenage years, the elders often expressed concern that some of his ideas and dreams were more suitable for the outside world than for their traditional Amish ways and customs. He was young, excitable, and brimming with ideas and yet became concerned that he did not seem to fit in and was often talked about behind his back as being “not very Amish”.

Anna would have to sneak it away from her clutches at night when asleep to get it washed. As May grew, she learnt to make dolls herself and would sell them in their community and the local town to make much needed money for the family

Amos and Mary miss their son, John. He had left the community for his Rumpsringa a year ago and had stayed in the outside world to explore and find his way. After a year, the son returned briefly, but despite the parents' pleas, John had decided to leave the community and join the outside world. He wanted to travel and experience the world. One day, a letter from John brings turmoil to the family.

Anna had lived in the community all of her life, not even leaving for Rumspringa when all of her friends had done so. She loved her family, her community, and everything about their culture and faith...apart from one little thing that had troubled her all her days. The culture dictated that she should not sing and dance too much in public, not be loud or attract attention upon herself, and should be quiet most of the time. The problem Anna had with this, was that she loved to sing, to dance, to be bright and outgoing, and to be a positive soul in the world.

Mark King was an elderly Amish man who lived alone. Partly out of choice, and partly because his seven (now adult) children could no longer cope with his ways. He did care about things and people, but felt unable to show it. Each year when Christmas comes around he feels himself becoming more stern and angry and resentful. He does not celebrate Christmas at all other than to attend prayer meetings etc., and distances himself from the community for weeks at a time. Could the sad, and bitter old man find happiness once again or will he be lonely for the rest of his life?
