Samuel Hilty had a secret. He had lived in the community for over 10 years when, at just 18, as a young Amish youth, he had walked into the community one Christmas day where he now lived as a 28-year-old man and had lied about his past to stay in their community. Since that day, he had been a good and decent man, working to serve Gott and all who needed help both in and outside of their village. The truth that only he and Gott knew was eating away at him inside, though, and he knew things needs sorting.

That is until a good young man started to pay her some attention.

Aaron and Betty used to take coffee in the town against the communities wishes, grabbing a brief moment of life outside the village and some quality time together. Neither expressed their deeply held affections for each other, but they each knew deep down that the other one was the only one for them. Aaron was working hard and strived to better himself in the eyes of his peers, however, one day he got caught up in some trouble with a group of boys in the town, resulting in him being prevented from seeing his sweetheart.

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.

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?
