In this final installment, Katy's plans for her friend's summer-long stay in Schellberg change when Katy's aunt becomes seriously ill. Katy finds herself enmeshed in responsibility, and what should have been a summer of relaxation fills with long hours at the fabric shop. Then a Mennonite boy visits her community for the summer, complicating her life and her feelings for Bryce, her non-Mennonite crush. Katy has several decisions to make by the time August arrives: Will she attend school in the fall and follow her dreams, or continue on in her Mennonite life to help her family? Katy struggles to choose between the two worlds she loves, but the final decision may be out of her hands.
