Hannah Brown travels with her eight sisters to Texas to find a husband. She knows it will be harder for her than the others because she doesn't believe in God, while all her sisters do. At the matchmaking dance near Fort Worth, she meets and dances with a few gentlemen but only one man sparks her interest.

Amos Kauffman attends the matchmaking dance as a host because it is being held at the church where he is the pastor. He has no intention of finding a bride, but one young lady sparks his interest. They talk about many things throughout the evening, but he doesn't mention he is a pastor, and she doesn't mention being an atheist.

Right after the wedding, Hannah's sister Imogene mentions that he is the pastor of the church, and Hannah doesn't know how to handle things. She decides she must tell him the truth that very night.

Will they be able to get past their religious differences?
