"It's 1823 and life is not easy for fourteen-year-old Henry. With an alcoholic father, it's up to Henry to provide for his younger siblings. His mother Caroline tries her best, but she's physically and emotionally exhausted. There never seems to be enough food to go around, and their home beside the Juniata River in Pennsylvania is hardly up to the task of sheltering them through the cold winter months. When Henry's father leaves the family and then passes away, Caroline sinks even deeper into depression. While working at the local hotel, Henry discovers a young Indian woman who has been kidnapped by travelers. He attempts to rescue her, which changes the trajectory of his life. Then, unexpectedly, Caroline's parents arrive from Ireland. They've become anabaptists since Caroline left the home country, and now they're fleeing persecution. Caroline is relieved to see her parents, but when it comes to faith, they're at odds. Given the hardships that Caroline and her children have been through, how could they ever believe in a good God?"--
