I had it set in my mind that I was going to make something crafty and awesome for my friends and family for Christmas. I started to really stress out about trying to figure out the perfect little thing to make them. Then I found myself filling up my calendar with tons of events and responsibilities and I started getting really stressed out. Then it hit me. I don’t have to make anything. It’s just fine if I do nothing. Suddenly I was mad at myself for putting myself through all that stress. Man!! I just can’t win with myself can I? I started to get a little mad at myself for being so hard on myself. I thought it was probably a good time to just walk away from myself and let myself cool off, but apparently I just can’t let things go and I followed myself around the house. Things were heating up between me and myself, but the real trouble started when I walked in.

Raised among the Amish of Indiana, 18-year-old Marianna Sommer plans to get baptized into the church, marry Aaron Zook, and set up life in the only community she has ever known. But when her older brother chooses the world’s path following his rumschpringe, and a younger sibling begins showing interest in Englisch ways, Marianna’s parents move the family to Montana.
Although she is also in her rumschpringe years and not obligated to move, Marianna makes the journey to dutifully help her mother who is expecting another child. Surprisingly, from strangers on the cross-country train ride to the less rigid stance of the new Montana community, many Englisch influences awaken within Marianna — and even her father — the desire to pursue a deeper kind of joy and love for God.
After an accident, Marianna tells her friend Ben a defining story about the Sommer family, and his response further illumines the active relationship God seeks with His followers. In due time, she learns the move from Indiana was not about losing anything, but finding out who God really is. Despite all the shake-ups, Marianna feels a sweet peace, like still waters, in her soul.
