Anthony and Marty Hirschler are part of an Old Order Mennonite community in Pine Hill, Indiana. They have grown apart since a doctor confirmed they would never have children. Marty's childhood friend, Brooke Spalding, resurfaces with the wild idea of rebuilding a Kansas ghost town into a resort community, and Marty is offered a chance to leave the painful reminders of her chidless state behind. When a frightening diagnosis and an encounter with a distraught young trespasser change Marty's role in Kansas, she wonders if a bigger plan is unfolding. As each soul struggles to rebuild broken relationships, the new town of Spalding, Kansas, takes shape.
