In the quaint Amish town of Birch Creek, where marriage is a cherished tradition, Margaret Yoder and Owen Bontrager find themselves caught up in a whirlwind of expectations. Despite their lack of interest in getting married, their plans are thwarted by the prevailing societal norms.

Margaret, a devout follower of the Amish faith, faces constant pressure from her mother to settle down and find a husband. To appease her mother and escape the memories of her wild rumspringa, she decides to return to Birch Creek, pretending to be in search of a husband.

Meanwhile, Owen Bontrager, a man who values independence and has no desire for marriage, finds himself surrounded by a sea of single women in Birch Creek. The local newspaper's advertisement for brides has attracted a multitude of hopefuls, including Margaret.

In an unexpected encounter, Margaret and Owen cross paths, and their initial disdain for each other gradually gives way to a deeper connection. They discover that they share more than they initially thought, making them a perfect match in some ways.

However, Margaret's commitment to her Amish church and her desire to remain true to her faith complicate her relationship with Owen. She struggles to balance her religious obligations with her growing feelings for him.

As Margaret returns home, she is faced with the ultimate decision: to betray her feelings for Owen and fulfill her mother's wishes, or to embrace her true desires and follow her heart. Will Owen be able to free Margaret from her past and offer her the future they both desire, or will their differences prove too great to overcome?
