A Place of Peace

In the picturesque setting of Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, the Kauffman Amish Bakery serves as the backdrop for intertwined stories of the women who work there, revealing their heartaches, dreams, and the complexities of Amish life. Central to this narrative is Miriam Lapp, who grapples with loss and familial rejection upon returning home after her mother’s sudden death. As she confronts painful memories, including a broken engagement and estranged relationships, Miriam is thrust into a spiritual and emotional crisis when her family faces further turmoil. Through her journey, themes of hope, faith, and the significance of family emerge amidst the stark contrasts between Amish and "English" lifestyles.
