Rebecca is a single Amish woman turning thirty and she has all but given up hope of finding a husband. She works as a teacher in the outside world and has a boy in her class who is deaf. Trained in sign language, she bonds with the boy who seems to be in desperate need of a mother as his own had passed away years earlier. She eventually meets the boy's father and the attraction is immediate. But the father, like the son, is deaf in a figurative way as he cannot feel anything beyond his the psychological trauma he suffered with his wife's passing. Can Rebecca break down these barriers and make them whole again?
