Gretchen Kohler is an Amana storekeeper's daughter with a secret passion for writing. But artistic pursuits are frowned upon in her conservative Amana village, so she confines her poems and stories to her journals, letting only close friends read them.

She shares a few of her stories with him--only to have her trust betrayed in the worst of ways, resulting in trouble for her entire community.
