They used to paddle around
in the morning,

and then they'd duck in,
and their feathers were going like this...

To sit on an evening,
and watch the little birds

having baths, It was so sweet.

Pass the salt, my good man.

And why would my chicken Kiev
need salt?

And the pepper.

Are you trying
to hurt my feelings?

I'm British.

Humor me.

He's also on blood thinners.

Trust me,
salt is not on the menu.

- Ah...
- And pepper is bad for your heartburn.

- Oh...
- What?

Don't look at me.

The doctor says I have the
constitution of a woman half my age.

I'm practically a teenager.

Only if you reverse
the numbers.

Oh, cheeky.

Sit, sit.

Are you all right,
Miss Katherine?

Yes. As you know, I was raised
Amish and Amish never eat alone.

I'm tired of eating
by myself.

It even tastes better.

At least somebody
appreciates my cooking.

It's about time.

It's much better with salt and pepper, Miss.

Miss Katherine,
I was wondering

whether we could play a game
of cricket on the lawn outside.

- Sure.
- Cricket is an insect, not a sport.

I'm sure Miss Katherine doesn't
want to hear about sport.

Argh!

- I'm horrible at this, Justin.
- Hey, don't beat yourself up.

This sport takes practice.

Okay, go again.
Remember what I taught you.

So, start three steps back.

Go one, two, three,

slide forward,
keep your wrist straight

and throw past your ankle.

It's simple.

Yeah! For someone who's been
doing it since he was four.

Five, but who's counting?

All right, I'm gonna give you
bit of incentive here.

I'll buy dinner if you can
knock down just three pins.

Looks like I'm going
hungry tonight.

I'll throw in some flowers.

- Some dark chocolate, too?
- You're on.

Come on.

Whoa!

Someone's been practicing.

Maybe.

I just got hustled, didn't I?

Just a little.

Unbelievable.

That guy is crushing it.

Maybe they're just friends.

I wish I had
a friend like that.

- Daniel, you said you came here to get her back.
- I did.

You've been here for months.

If you don't make your move
soon, it's gonna be too late.

I will.

I made a promise a long
time ago to marry that girl,

and that's what
I'm going to do.

Meanwhile, that dude's probably
already planned the honeymoon.

That was fun!

I can't believe
you bowled that strike.

Yeah, I got you.

Time to get on the stick, bro.

- If you don't do something...
- I know, I know.

It's gonna be too late.

Did you have a nice time
with Justin?

Yeah, I think
he's growing fond of me.

"Fond" is putting it mildly.

Justin Wirth is head over
heels for you.

Ja, so it seems.

I think you two
suit each other.

Me, too.

I mean, he's smart but also
kind, hard-working and practical.

The kind of practical man that my
Amish father might have approved of...

- Hmm.
- If Justin weren't an Englisher.

- Not so bad on the eyes either.
- Aah!

Yeah!

Let me help.

I'm capable of doing
a few things myself.

I know you are,
Miss Katherine.

Remember, I grew up milking cows
and mucking out horse stalls.

But this is my job.

I've been serving this house
for nearly three generations,

long before you arrived.

I know,
but I can't help myself.

I feel ferhoodled seeing
how hard you all work.

"Ferhoodled."

I loved it when your mama
said that word.

Whenever I heard the Pennsylvania
Dutch coming from her,

always made me laugh.

Why do you think she used Amish
words in an English world?

I don't think she ever got over
giving you up for adoption.

She wanted to be
part of your life,

to understand
what you were going through.

She learned everything
she could about the Amish.

God rest her soul.

I miss her.

There's still so much
I wish I knew about her.

We had
so little time together.

I know she felt the same.

But she was so happy
to finally find you.

It meant the world to her.

That's why she left
all of this to you.

I'd give it all away
to have her here again.

She'd help me find my way
in the English world.

Oh, trust me, you're doing a lot
better with it than you think you are.

You think so?

I do.

Besides, we're all here
to help when you need it.

I know. Danke.

Have you thought about writing
your parents in Hickory Hollow?

Maybe you should let them know
you're planning on staying here.

I've tried, but the church
forbade them from speaking to me,

when I was shunned.

They haven't responded
to any of my letters.

That's what happens
in the Amish world

when you run out
on a wedding to the bishop.

What if you
spoke to them indirectly?

What do you mean?

What if you wrote them a
letter but it wasn't from you?

C'mon, Daniel, you're gonna
talk to her or not?

We're gonna be late for work.

Easy for you to say.

Just get it over with.
The longer you wait, the worse it gets.

I know, I know.

But what do I say to her
after three years?

She still thinks I'm dead.

It is kinda awkward.

Hey, c'mon man,
try to have a sense of humor.

I mean, it's only a girl.

Katie Lapp is not
just any girl.

That's for sure
and for certain.

So, these are the three charities
we'll be meeting with later today.

They're asking for the foundation's
help with special projects.

"Oak Vale Home for Boys."
I like the sound of this one.

Yeah.

They've submitted a proposal
for renovating their facilities.

I met with
the director already.

He's got a good heart
and his place needs help.

It's pretty shabby and he's
operating on a shoestring.

Sounds like a good candidate.

It's places like this
boys' home that inspired me

to continue with the foundation
after my mother died.

It's a good thing you did too.

Otherwise I'd still be
working at Google.

Just because I like you doesn't mean
your job as managing director is secure.

- You understand that, right?
- Wait... what?

I wouldn't worry about it.
You're a Harvard grad.

I'm sure you'll land
on your feet.

Are you telling me...

You're way too easy.

I can't believe it.

Hustled again.

You're terrible.

I know.

By the way, don't make
any plans for tomorrow night.

I've made reservations for us
at my favorite dinner spot.

Oh, sounds good.
Where are we going?

No, I'm not telling you.
It's a surprise.

Oh, come on now,
a little clue?

Not a chance.

You can try and resist, but you know
sooner or later I'll get it out of you.

All right, fine.
It's Big Vinnie's Pizza Shack.

- Sounds fancy.
- Oh, it is.

It's just the kind of place where
you can turn the menu into a hat.

So, as you can see, all work on
the facility came to an abrupt end

when we lost
our federal grant.

Budget cutbacks.

And the home needs
more than just a facelift.

It's suffering from years of
underfunding and neglect.

So, how do these kids end up
here in the first place?

Uh, most of the boys are
wards of the courts.

You know,
they come from hard places.

Abandoned, abused,
a few orphaned.

Why aren't they
placed with families?

Believe me,
none of them want to be here

but it's difficult at their age to
be adopted or placed in foster care.

My hope is to give this place
a complete makeover.

Make it a place that
feels comfortable and safe.

Like home.

Exactly.

Well, this is our common room.

Yeah, with your help we're hoping
to bring this into the 21st century.

We'd like to give it
an overall facelift,

add a new big-screen TV,
computers, WiFi.

With newer technology we could provide
all sorts of enrichment activities,

online classes,
research, books...

And make it a fun place
to spend time.

Excuse me.

I've never played
a video game before.

Is it fun?

It's okay.

Maybe you'll show me
sometime, hmm?

Yeah, maybe.

Great. Thanks.

Uh, that's Willie. He's...

He's had a tough go of it.

I can see that.

Congratulations, Mr. Bryant.

Our foundation will approve
all of your funding.

Really?

But you haven't
even seen my proposal yet.

Katherine,
remember what we discussed?

Maybe we should take this
under advisement.

I've seen everything I need to see
in the faces of these young men.

They need and deserve the love

and sense of family that God
intends for every child.

Wow. I...

I wasn't expecting this.
Thank you.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

I hope we're not getting
ahead of ourselves,

committing too quickly.

Justin, those boys need this place
to make a difference in their lives.

If the Mayfield Foundation
stands for anything,

it should stand for making sure
that we're helping kids like these.

I agree. I'm just used to doing
a little more due diligence

before saying yes.

On the farm I grew up on,
my father used to say...

"Kindness, when given away,
keeps coming back."

Well,
when you put it that way...

You know, nothing I learned at Harvard
prepared me for your country wisdom.

Then we are, as you Englishers
say, on the same page.

Yeah, we're on the same page.

We make a good team then, ja?

Oh, ja.

Guten Tag.

Ah, guten Tag, Samuel Lapp.

Guten Tag, Ephraim.

Need me a bolt of cotton
and some thread.

Okay. Gut.

Is that harness I ordered
coming yet?

Ah...

I'm sorry, Samuel.
I think early next week.

Preacher Yoder.

Ah, Samuel.

Passed your field
the other day.

Those soybeans look about
ready for the husker.

The Lord God willing,
I'll reap what I have sown.

Danke.

Mister Lapp.

I've got a delivery for you
from Canandaigua, New York.

That'll save me a trip
to your place.

Thank you.

- Samuel, is it from her?
- No.

It's from somebody named
Rosie Taylor.

Canandaigua?

That's the same town your
shunned Katie ended up, be it so?

Ja.

- We believe so.
- Oh!

Might could be some monkey business
going on with that, Sam Lapp.

What do you mean?

Oh, you know what the
Ordnung has to say

about a plain soul who's been
placed under the Meindung.

"With such a person
you shall not speak."

We know the rules.

That's gut.

This discipline
is meant for her soul.

She needs to come
to her senses

and offer confession for running out on her
commitment of marriage to Bishop Beiler.

The bishop has already moved
on from that sad episode.

He's courting
Mary Stoltzfus now.

Oh!
And a joyous match that is.

But it does not cure
your Katie's rebellion.

She needs to come home,

get right with the church,
hmm?

- We...
- Preacher...

Whatever is in this letter
will stay unread.

Along with every other letter our Katie
girl has sent since leaving the hollow.

You can rest easy on that.

That's gut.
That's gut, Samuel.

Wonderful, gut.

Samuel, please.

I can't bear not knowing how Katie is
faring out there among the English.

What if she gets swallowed up
by their world?

If she's in desperate straits,
she'll come home.

Maybe there's a reason
she can't.

Maybe that's why
all the letters.

Gott will keep her safe,
Rebecca.

I miss her.

I have an ache in my stomach
I miss her so much.

I know.

Me, too.

This can't be.

Hello, Katie girl.

But you're dead.

No, Katie.

I'm not dead.

I'm very much alive.

Don't bother, Miss Katherine.

I'll do that.

All these years,

you've been alive?

How could you let me think
that you were dead?

How could you do that to me?
To your family?

Leaving you was the
biggest mistake of my life.

Katie,
I've missed you terribly.

Don't call me that.

My name isn't Katie anymore.

It's Katherine.

Katherine Mayfield.

My given name,
my English name.

Okay, Katherine.

What happened to you?
Where have you been?

I really did go sailing
that day.

But, the storm came up,

and I saw my chance to do
what I thought I needed to do.

I left to join the army.

I spent the next two years
in Afghanistan.

- The army?
- Katie, please...

Try to understand.
I know what I did was wrong...

But at the time
it made sense to me.

How could that be possible?

It was easier for me to let
people think that I was dead

then to face our community,
our family, you,

with the fact
that I was enlisting.

You were raised Amish.

You were taught to never raise
a sword against another man.

I know that this is
hard to understand...

But I believed that God
was calling me to it.

We Amish are still citizens
of this country.

Yet we allow Englishers
to sacrifice themselves

for our freedom to believe
what we believe.

It's just not right.

You have no idea
what you did to me.

You let me think you drowned.

I am so sorry.

I wish I could turn
back the clock, I truly do.

I should have
taken you away with me.

The past is done.

And "should have's" never
solve anything.

Do you remember the last time
we saw each other?

That day by the river.
Under our big tree.

How could I forget?

That was the day
you promised to marry me.

And then you disappeared
from the face of the earth.

I was stupid, I didn't think
through the consequences.

Look, after I got out, I went home
to Hickory Hollow to look for you.

That's when I learned
of your shunning.

They shunned me too.

And then I came here, hoping to
find a way to win back your heart.

Please leave.

Katie, please...

I told you,
that is not my name anymore!

How could you let me
grieve you for three years?

Will you please go?

Son...

I suggest you do as she says.

I never meant for this visit
to cause you pain.

God be with you.

Miss Katherine,
are you all right?

Miss Katherine.

Please Rosie, I just
want to be left alone.

I understand,

but what do want me
to tell Justin?

Wait.

Justin's here?

Don't you two have
a special dinner planned?

Oh,
I completely forgot.

I just can't, Rosie.

Not after what happened.

Can't you tell him I'm sick?

I could,

but then I wouldn't be
telling the truth.

Katherine...

Is everything all right?

I'm sorry.
I should have given you more notice.

I know you had a special
evening planned for us.

But I'm just feeling
a bit under the weather.

Oh, that's terrible.

Is there anything I can do?

Do you need to see a doctor?

No. No, nothing that serious.

Look, it's no problem.

We can reschedule
when you're feeling better.

Here.

I'll check in on you tomorrow.

Thank you for understanding.

Of course.

Good night.

Rosie, what am I going to do
about Daniel Fisher?

I can't believe him
just showing up like that,

rising from the dead
like Lazarus.

Do you still have
feelings for him?

I don't know.

I don't know what I feel.

I loathe him
for what he did to me,

as much as God allows me
to loathe...

But I used to be
in love with him.

Not that I'm an expert
in these matters,

but I think before you can
make a future with Justin,

you need to make peace
with your past.

Whoa, dude.

Take it easy.
You'll knock the whole house down.

Look, maybe you should have
sent the girl an e-mail first.

You know, ease into the whole
"risen from the dead" thing.

You were the one who told me
to go talk to her.

I know, but you shouldn't
listen to me.

I don't know anything
about relationships.

That's an understatement.
The whole thing was a complete disaster.

What?

Katie. Uh...

Katherine.

I, I'm gonna go make sure to check
we have extra drywall screws.

It's what we use
to keep the walls up.

I'm surprised to see you.

I have something to say.

I'm listening.

I give you due respect for your
decision to serve our country.

- Despite how we were raised.
- Danke.

But that's where
my sympathy ends.

My whole world fell apart.

When you "died,"
everything changed.

I grieved you.

I didn't know
who I was anymore.

It's a big reason why I
agreed to marry Bishop Beiler.

It's also the reason,
why I couldn't marry him.

It's why they shunned me.

Trust me, I understand.

Trust you?

Why on earth
should I trust you again?

Maybe in time, you could.

Maybe I could earn
your trust back.

If you think

that walking back into my life
fixes things, then you're wrong.

But at least now
I know the truth.

I can move on with my life.

And now that
I've said my piece

we never have to see
each other again.

Katie...

You okay, man?

Not really.

Sorry.
I know she meant a lot to you.

I'm not giving up.

Dude, not that I was listening or anything,
but you know, the drywall is not that thick.

Maybe you should just cut
your losses and move on.

I can't.
She means everything to me.

It doesn't matter.

She wants nothing
to do with you.

I don't think so.

The girl I knew back in Hickory
Hollow, she was open-hearted.

Now, she may have changed because
of her time on the outside.

She may act confident,
determined,

but my beautiful Katie Lapp
is still there.

You're delusional.

Yeah, maybe, but I think we
made a little progress today.

- And how do you figure that?
- She came to see me.

To rake you over the coals and tell
you she never wants to see you again.

If she didn't care
just a little,

she wouldn't have taken
the time.

Like I said, delusional.

Well, at least she
talked to me.

If I'm going to win her back,
I've got a lot of work to do.

Where you going?
You're knocking off early?

Yeah! It's personal.

If you've never tasted the bitter,
you don't know what's sweet.

I have no idea
what that means.

I'm happy to see
you're feeling better.

Much better.
Thank you.

In fact, I was wondering if that special
night on the town is still an option?

Absolutely.

How about tonight?

I could pick you up at 7:00.

Mr. Bryant wants me to
sit in on an interview

this afternoon
at the boys' home,

so, yeah,
that should be perfect.

You don't know how perfect.

Hello, boys.

You can play if you want to,
but be on their side.

They're already
playing like girls.

- Ooh!
- Be careful what you say.

As you get older you'll realize
that girls are very, very powerful.

Okay, c'mon, let's go.
We're up 3-2.

Ah, Miss Mayfield,
thank you for coming.

This is Mr. Richard Davies.

He's applying for our open counselor
position I told you about over the phone.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Davies.

Likewise, Miss Mayfield.

Richard, the special-ed school

where you last worked gave
you a strong recommendation.

Thank you.

They called me
an environmental engineer,

but I was really
just a janitor.

Right. So why are you applying
for a counselor position

when you don't have
residential home experience?

It's true, I've never actually
worked in a boy's' home.

But I did live in one
when I was growing up.

So, I think I understand
these boys.

I speak their language.

They're good kids,
they've just been dealt a bad hand.

I see.

We will be remodeling this
place over the next few months.

I would think that could be
unsettling for the boys.

Any thoughts how you might help
them handle their fears and frets?

Fears and frets?

Well, I'm not really sure,

but I think, after what most of these
boys have been through in their lives

I doubt a little construction
will scare them too much.

I know I don't look like
much on paper,

but I really believe
I have something to offer.

Well, we appreciate
you coming in.

We're interviewing several
applicants this week.

We'll let you know
in a few days.

Okay, thank you.

I appreciate your time.

I'm very glad to have
met you, Miss Mayfield.

You, too, Mr. Davies.

Please. Call me Richard.

Thank you. I will, Richard.

Bye.

Ah, I'm not feeling real good
about that one.

I know what you mean,
but there was something I liked about him.

Well, that may be, but
"environmental engineering"?

Doesn't necessarily
prepare you for dealing

with teenage boys
with trust issues.

Hmm.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Hey! Whoa!

What's the trouble here?

He's up in my face
for no reason!

You started it.
He tried to make fun of me!

And no one makes fun of me!

If I let you go,
are you gonna knock this off?

No, I don't need
to listen to you!

I don't even know you!

Well, you might want
to get to know me.

Because we could be here
all day.

This reminds me of
when I lived in a boys' home.

What?

Yeah, that's right,
I used to be you.

I had my share of fights, too.

But you know what?

I finally figured out that
I was just fighting myself.

And worse than that,
I realized I fought because I was afraid.

- I'm not afraid of him.
- Not of the kid I was fighting.

Afraid of myself.

I was scared
I wasn't good enough.

Scared nobody cared about me.

How about we don't take
it out on the other guy?

What do you say, fellas?
Are we good here?

Yeah.

I guess.

Okay, everybody inside.

Let's go.

Thank you.

I was taught to
turn the other cheek

so I appreciated very much
the way you handled that.

I hope you'll accept our
position as counselor here.

Really?

I hardly know what to say.

Say "yes."

Yes, thank you.

Can you start tomorrow?
9:00 a.m.?

Of course.

Miss Mayfield, you have
no idea what this means to me.

What is good for the goose
is good for the gander.

If you say so.
Thank you very much.

Wow.
You look incredible.

Thank you.

This dress belonged
to my mother.

I hope it's not too much
for Big Vinnie's.

Well, as it turns out we're
not going to Big Vinnie's.

We're not?

Nope!

If you two would
please follow me.

- I don't understand.
- You will.

Aah, wow!

What a wonderful surprise.

It's absolutely lovely.

And perfectly romantic.

Shall we?

To a wonderful evening.

Katherine,

from the moment
I first saw you,

I knew there was something
special about you.

And the more I've gotten
to know you,

the more I've fallen
in love with you.

You're the most beautiful
woman I've ever known.

Beautiful on the outside,
of course,

but beautiful
on the inside, too.

I want to spend the
rest of my life with you.

Will you marry me?

Oh, Justin.

My head is spinning.

I love you,
Katherine Mayfield,

and I think we make
an amazing team.

In every way.

I would be
the luckiest man alive

if you agree to be my wife.

Is... Is that a "yes"?

I think so.

I mean, of course, yes.

Yes!

Look, Rosie, it sparkles like the
brightest star in the heavens.

It's a beautiful ring.

I hope you know
I wasn't trying to push you

into anything you're
not ready for tonight.

I know.
I believe I am ready.

And I actually think this ruckus
with Daniel Fisher has helped me.

How so?

I see how different
he is from Justin.

Daniel's up in the air,
flying by the seat of his britches,

making rash decisions.

Justin makes choices
and sticks with them.

Do you love him?

I think so.

I mean, of course I do.

And like he said,
we make an amazing team.

Well, congratulations
on your big day.

Thanks, Rosie.

- Pleasant dreams.
- You, too.

We are a full-service wedding
planner, Miss Mayfield.

We handle everything,
all the details.

Sounds expensive.

Not for a woman of your means.

Let's start by
helping you identify

the type of wedding
you'd like to have.

Are you looking for
a destination wedding,

traditional ceremony,
contemporary?

You know, vintage weddings
are quite popular.

I didn't know there were
so many choices.

Oh, yes.
Scores of choices.

And the theme you choose sets
the tone for every detail,

from the style of your
bridesmaids' dresses

to the centerpieces

to the cake,
even the tent cards.

This is more complicated
than I thought it would be.

Complicated for us,
Miss Mayfield,

not for you.

Rosie, what do you think?

Knowing you, I think you might want to
consider something more traditional.

Yes, I think that's right.

I like it.

- Uh, yeah, that makes sense.
- Wonderful.

Next, let's cover the menu,
the music,

the floral design.

And, of course,
the honeymoon.

Don't you think
that's a little personal?

Nothing is too personal
for my team.

We can help you create

the ultimate romantic getaway.

Perhaps you'd like
a Swiss chalet

at the foot of the Matterhorn,

or your own private
Caribbean island.

Will you excuse me
for a moment, please?

Not to worry, Mr. Wirth.
I see this all the time.

She's Amish.

Katherine, are you okay?

I'm not sure
I'm ready for all this.

I understand. There's
a lot of decisions to make.

I just want you to have
the wedding of your dreams.

To be honest,
when I was growing up,

the wedding of my dreams
was me in a blue dress

and my betrothed
in a black suit,

standing under a grape arbor.

Well, this isn't
Hickory Hollow.

I know that.

I was just always taught that
haughtiness is to be avoided.

Listen, I don't want to make you do
anything you're not comfortable with,

but remember, you're the head
of the foundation now.

And there's a lot of important
people who'll expect to be invited.

For better or worse,
we have a public role to play.

I guess that makes sense.

I know it's hard, but let's go
back in and finish the meeting.

And I promise,
when the day comes,

I'll be right there with you,

and we can pretend
it's just the two of us,

standing under
a grape arbor, okay?

Okay.

But no more honeymoon talk
with complete strangers.

That's between you and me.

Deal.

Justin, what are these construction
workers doing here already?

I figured no point in dragging
our feet when there's a job to do.

Well, I thought we were
going to take it slowly

so we didn't disrupt
the boys' routine too much.

They'll be fine.

The sooner we get started,
the sooner we'll be finished.

And with a big crew,
we'll be done faster.

Daniel?

Anybody seen my drill?

Daniel.

What are you doing here?

I'm a carpenter.

My buddy and I got hired
yesterday to do this job.

Why are you here?

I'm Justin Wirth,
Katherine's fiance.

Can I help you?

Uh, no. Not really.

Katie... Uh, Katherine and I

know each other
from Hickory Hollow.

We grew up together.

Imagine that.

That's good news, Katie Lapp.

That's wonderful.
Congratulations.

- To you both.
- Danke.

Well, it was nice meeting you.

We should let you
get back to work.

Katherine.

Was this guy courting you?

We were just teenagers.

It was young love.

So I don't have anything
to worry about, then?

Not in the least.

Whatever happened between me
and Daniel is in the past.

Hey, you know what?

Rhonda's sending by some
wedding cake samples tomorrow.

So remember to bring
your sweet tooth.

Sure. Will do.

What's wrong, Rebecca?

It's worse than
we thought, Samuel.

What are you saying?

Tell me you didn't.

I couldn't hold myself back
any longer.

But I promised Preacher Yoder
that we would abide by...

And we promised God

when we took that baby girl into
our arms all those years ago

to be her mama and papa.

To love and cherish her.

But the shunning.

I know it's meant to be
for the good of Katie's soul,

but I've never seen it
in the Good Book.

Sometimes

we must do wrong
to do right, Samuel.

What does she write about?

She misses us

and her Amish life,

but it doesn't look like
she's coming back.

This last letter was
written by another woman,

Rosie Taylor,
speaking on her behalf.

She plans on staying
with the Englishers.

Don't know what
we can do about it.

What we should've done
a long time ago,

ban or no ban.

There you go, you two.

Enjoy.

Wow. I've never seen
so many cakes in one place.

Well, clearly you've never
been to an Amish potluck.

This would be something like the children's dessert table.

Well, this should be fun.

Aren't we forgetting
something?

Oh, right.
Forks and napkins.

No, we need to bless the food.

Even dessert
is God's provision.

As my husband-to-be,
would you like to lead us in prayer?

Come on, Katherine,
we're just picking a wedding cake.

Aren't God and prayer
important in your life?

Well, yes, but maybe not as
important as they are to you.

I minored in philosophy
and religious studies,

and it gave me a different
perspective on the notion of God.

The notion of God?

You know what I mean.

Come on,
don't make it a big deal.

Justin, giving thanks to God
is always a big deal.

O Lord and Heavenly Father,

we humbly give praise to you

and offer deep gratitude
for all you've given us.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Now, where shall we begin?

Lemon burst or pink velvet?

Oh, wow.

- Good?
- Oh, it's good.

Oh!

Sorry, Miss Mayfield?
You all right?

Yes, fine, thanks.

You okay?

Yes, I'm fine.
Thank you.

I guess I need to watch
where I'm going.

Maybe you were distracted?

I saw you looking at me.

It would do you good to practice
some humility, Daniel Fisher.

Prideful boasting
doesn't suit you.

Oh, I see.

But the Englisher world, with all of
its abundance suits you just fine?

Things are different now.
I have responsibilities.

And I guess that
Mr. Fancy Britches

is a part of
those responsibilities.

His name is Justin Wirth
and he is my fiance.

- He doesn't suit you, Katie.
- How would you know?

You've been gone
for three years.

You don't know me anymore.

I know you, Katie Lapp.

Just because you inherited
the big mansion

with all of the
fancy trappings,

- you're no different now than you were then.
- You're wrong.

At least now I'm not the only one who
can be accused of keeping secrets.

What do you mean?

The other day,
when you came to my worksite,

you never mentioned anything
about engagement to be married.

That is my business and it
has nothing to do with you.

All you need to know is that
I'm 100% committed to Justin.

Well, what a shame.

- Good day, Daniel.
- Ja.

In addition to new
bunk-beds and dressers,

Justin okayed computer
work stations in every room.

I like the beds and dressers,

but I'm not crazy about the
individual computer stations.

Won't that just encourage the
boys to spend more time alone?

Yeah, probably.

Uh, well, we could put all the
stations in one room.

- Make it the computer room.
- That's a great idea.

I've also been thinking I'd like to
do something special with the boys.

I've been thinking about an
activity that they can do together

so they learn
how to be a family.

Oh, I'm open to anything you'd like to
do, Miss Mayfield.

Will you excuse me, please?

Of course.
Take as much time as you need.

♪ That we used to go

♪ I've lost track of time

♪ It seems like just yesterday

♪ But you're slipping away

♪ You're slipping away

♪ Well, I've reminisced

♪ And collected
all the thoughts of you

♪ And placed them
in a box under my bed

I haven't heard
that song in years.

I haven't played it in years.

I guess seeing you again
reminded me of it.

I'm surprised you still
remember the lyrics.

That was a long time ago.

Not really. Not so long.

I remember all the songs we used to
sing under our tree by the river.

I haven't forgotten anything
from our time together.

One thing hasn't changed.

I still love to hear you sing.

I'm glad you're still
playing your music.

I'll never stop
playing my music.

Music got me through many
a long night in Afghanistan.

It's good talking to you.
Really good.

But I should get back to work.

- Daniel?
- Yeah?

I want to do something
special for the boys.

I have an idea, but I'm going
to need your help.

My help?

I thought you wanted
nothing to do with me.

Please don't make this more
difficult than it already is.

It's for the boys.

You're the only person I know
that can help me pull this off.

Will you at least hear me out?

Of course, yes.

I would never say no to you.

Never.

Come on, fellas.

Dude, this is gonna be sweet.

She's probably gonna give us
some money or something.

Lock it up, dude.

Here we are, boys.

Welcome, everyone.
Thank you for coming.

We're very excited
to have you here.

What is all this?
Why are we here?

Where I come from, we believe
in helping one another.

That's what makes a community.
It's what makes a family.

Today we're going to help a friend
of ours who needs a new barn.

So, we're going to have
a barn raising.

- A what?
- We don't know nothing about barns.

Well, that's where I come in.
I'm gonna teach you.

Today, I'm going to turn
all you guys into carpenters.

We're going to make
a barn together.

You mean like a real barn
for cows and stuff?

- Exactly.
- Why would we want to do that?

Because that's what
a family does.

We all pitch in, help out.

And when we're finished,
we know it took all of us to get it done.

We're not a family.

I'm gonna pass.

Willie.

Please. Let me.

Okay, guys.

I know this may sound
a little strange,

but I'm from the same town
as Miss Mayfield,

and I'm gonna tell you all
a little secret.

All the pretty girls go for a man
who's strong enough to build a barn.

You really think we're
gonna be able to do all this?

For sure and for certain.
Come on.

Please, come with us over this way.

I'm sorry
if I upset you, Willie.

It's no big deal.

You think I have no idea what
your life has been like, right?

How could you? I mean, you're just some
rich lady who lives in a big mansion.

Actually,
not many people know this,

but until six months ago,

I lived on a farm
with no electricity,

and I had to milk six cows
by hand every morning.

You're lying.

I don't lie.

Well, where did the mansion
come from? And the fancy car?

You win the lottery
or something?

No.

It all belonged
to my birth mother.

You're adopted?

Do you know anything
about your birth family?

Nothing.

I was dumped on
somebody's doorstep as a baby.

So I've been a ward
of the court my whole life.

You're really lucky.

You had parents
that adopted you

and you got to meet
your birth parents.

I don't know
my biological father.

You still won the lottery
compared to me.

Yes, I suppose I did.

Would you consider giving
barn raising a second chance?

Come on.

Okay, and just like that.

Hey, guys. Can you get
some more wood?

Bless O Lord this food
for thy use

and make us ever mindful of
the wants and needs of others.

- Amen.
- Amen.

All right, everybody.
Let's eat.

Hold it steady, boys.

Left... Careful, careful.

Keep an eye on it.

All right. Here it goes.
Here it goes.

Careful.

Nice work, men.
You should be proud.

So who wants to come back next
Saturday and finish what we started?

- Let's go, guys.
- Good job.

Great work. Way to go.
See you next time.

Ja.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

Come on, man. Let's go.

That was amazing.

It was, wasn't it?

Hey, don't forget, lunch
with my parents tomorrow.

Oh, right.

Do you think they might
take a rain check?

Katherine, we've been
putting it off for months.

I've run out of excuses.

Hey, don't worry.
They'll love you.

- Okay.
- I'm gonna go bring the car around.

Daniel, wait.

I don't know how to
thank you for today.

I could never have
pulled this off without you.

Thank you.

Welcome. It was fun.

Is something the matter?

When I came here to find you,

I was hoping to somehow get back to
where we once were at Hickory Hollow.

To remind you
of what we once had.

Everything has changed,
Daniel.

There's no going back
for either of us.

Ja, I can see that now.

Your new life suits you
well, Katie Lapp.

You have everything you need.

Miss Katherine,
may I have a word?

- What is it, Fulton?
- Well, I don't wish to alarm you,

but when the group arrived today
and I met the new counselor...

- Richard?
- Yes.

He struck me
as rather familiar.

I couldn't place him at first,

but then when he was leaving,
it hit me.

He was at your
mother's funeral.

Are you sure?

Yes, Miss. I'm sure.
Absolutely.

Is everything okay?

Fulton thought he recognized
you from my mother's funeral.

Laura Mayfield's funeral?

Yes. Were you there?

Yeah, I guess I was.

I don't understand.
Did you know her?

I used to.

A long time ago.

Katherine, this wasn't
supposed to happen.

What wasn't supposed
to happen?

Look, I don't know
the right way to say this,

so I'm just gonna say it.

I'm your father.

I never meant
for you to know.

For years, I kept tabs on
Laura's life from a distance.

In the papers.
On the news.

Why did you apply for
the position at the home?

When I heard about the
opening, I couldn't stay away.

So this was about meeting me?

I was hoping to get
a chance to get to know you.

I never planned
on telling you who I was.

And I love working
with these boys.

I wasn't lying when I told you that
I grew up in a place like this.

No family of your own?

No.

And not a day goes by
that I don't

regret driving away from your
mother at the hospital that night.

I believe that

God brings all things together

for the good of
those who love Him.

But I need some time
to sit with this.

I understand.

Thank you.

You look perfect.

Hope so.

Look, I told you,
don't be nervous.

They're gonna love you.

There they are.

It's just so fascinating to
think that you were raised Amish.

We recently watched
a documentary on the Amish.

It was captivating.

Mother, really. We're not
on a cultural exchange here.

Of course not.

I'm just curious if Katherine considers
herself to be on her "Rum-springa"?

- Rumschpringa.
- Right.

I think the documentary called it the
"running around" years for Amish youth.

Are you still exploring,
Katherine?

Dad, really.

Son, I don't think
it's out of line

to ask our future
daughter-in-law if

she's made a decision to leave
her Amish heritage behind.

I will not live
among the Amish,

but I will never
leave my faith behind.

There is still so much
I hold dear

about the way I was raised.

Which is why I'm so
in love with this girl.

Her authenticity and appreciation
of the simple things in life

is what attracted me
to her in the first place.

So, Katherine, how do you
intend to raise your children,

our grandchildren?

I'm not sure what you mean.

Have you thought
about a nanny?

Private schools?

Tutors when the children
reach school age?

It's imperative that you
give them the proper support

if you expect them to compete
in today's world.

Getting into the
right university

can mean all the difference
for a child's future.

Really, Mother, I think we're just
getting a little ahead of ourselves here.

Why would you say that?

Now is the time
to ask these questions.

We want to know if our grandchildren
are going to have a normal upbringing

with all of the privileges
of the modern world.

We know nothing
of Katherine's intentions.

Mrs. Wirth, let me assure you

that your grandchildren
will be raised by me

and taught in
a one-room schoolhouse

without heat or electricity,

but only after they've mucked out the
cow stalls each morning at 5:00 a.m.

All right,
so who's ready to order?

Thanks again for the lunch.
It was great.

Bye.

I just made
a mess of things.

Oh, come on.
It wasn't that bad.

It was worse than bad.
It was a disaster.

Look, they're not the ones
marrying you. I am.

Besides, they'll learn to
love you as much as I do...

In time.

I'll be sure to set my alarm for
the second half of the millennium.

Is something else
bothering you?

It has to do with Richard.

The new counselor?
What about him?

He says he's my father, Justin.
My biological father.

Are you serious?

How do you know?

Because he said so.

Katherine, anybody could have
read about you in the newspapers.

How do you know
he's telling the truth?

That did cross my mind.

After your mother's husband
tried to steal the estate,

it's hard not to suspect a man
who shows up out of nowhere

claiming to be your father.

He could be scheming for more than just a
relationship with his long-lost daughter.

Look, I've got to go to
Manhattan in the morning

for a few days
to meet with our bankers.

But after I'm back,
we'll figure it all out.

Together. Okay?

Okay.

Thank the good Lord.

- What is it, Rosie?
- She wrote you back.

- Who?
- Your Amish mama.

It came in today's mail.

They still want me to
come home and confess.

I knew in my head
what she would say,

but my heart was still hoping.

They're not coming, Rosie.

My Mam and Dat
won't be at my wedding.

I'm thinking about a burger.
Maybe some fries.

Hey, fellas. Morning.

Richard, um,
can I speak to you?

Of course.

Is everything okay?

Not really.

Austin.

I didn't see Daniel's truck
in the parking lot.

Uh, yeah, he took the day off.

I think he's out of town.

Out of town?
Do you know where?

No. I can't say I do.

- Morning, Katherine.
- Hello, Richard.

What was that all about?

Oh...

Nothing you need
to worry about.

I've thought
about our situation,

and I'm just not ready for a
father-daughter relationship,

at least not in the way
that you might be hoping for.

I understand.

I'm not saying that can't
change in the future,

but right now I have a lot of
challenges in my life.

You've already been kinder
to me than I deserve.

But I'll miss talking to you.

I'm not saying we can't
still communicate

at least professionally,
here at the home.

Actually, Mr. Bryant
just gave me my notice.

He fired me.

What? Why?

Apparently Justin felt
I wasn't completely honest

about my reason
for taking this job.

I should have been part
of this discussion.

I don't agree
with this decision.

You are wonderful
with these boys.

He's right.

I wasn't truthful
about my background.

And I don't want to cause any
troubles for you and Justin.

Goodbye, Katherine.

You know, we could be shunned
ourselves for such a violation.

I couldn't abide
the silence any longer.

I had to write her a letter.

Scripture tells us
to do justice,

but also to love mercy.

You did the right thing,
Mrs. Lapp.

I understand that
you can't talk to me.

All I ask is that you listen,
and then I'll go.

You don't have to say a word.

I found your Katie, Mrs. Lapp.

She's living in upstate New York
in her English mother's estate.

She's living
a different life now.

And I can vouch to you
she's the finest

young Amish woman
I've ever known.

Right now, she is giving
her time and money

to helping
homeless teenage boys.

And to my great sadness,

she is engaged to be married

to a fine,
upstanding Englisher

who does that work
alongside her.

This community,
and you as her Mam and Dat,

This community,
and you as her Mam and Dat,

raised her to be a good and
compassionate human being.

And if our faith somehow
keeps you from celebrating

the joy of a wedding
with your own daughter,

then there is something
very wrong with this world.

Thank you for letting me
speak my peace.

Rebecca.

Daniel, wait.

Please tell Katie
that I love her,

and that I'm proud of her,
no matter what happens.

I will, Mrs. Lapp.

Thank you for coming here.

I'm sorry things didn't
work out for the two of you.

Me, too.

Good morning.

I brought your favorite,

tea and toast
with some Amish jam.

I barely slept,
and I'm not hungry.

I thought you might want
to call Justin back.

He's already left
three messages this morning.

I just want to be left alone.

It's time.

What do you mean?
It's time for what?

Is that from Hickory Hollow?

No, it's from Laura.

From Laura?
I don't understand.

A few days before she passed
away, she gave it to me.

She told me to wait
until you really needed it.

I think this is
as good a time as any.

"My dearest Katherine,
if you are reading this,

"it means you're struggling with
your life at Mayfield Manor."

"I understand
because I struggled, too,

"with the trappings of the
manor and the expectations.

"There were many times
I just wanted to run away.

"But you, my love,

"you are strong, gentle,
loving and full of life.

"But each of us must come to a reckoning
in this life of who we're meant to be.

"If you are true to yourself,

"whether as
'Mistress of the Manor'

"or back in Hickory Hollow
or somewhere in between,

"the world will be a better
place for you having been in it.

"This is a map to one of my
favorite places in the world.

"I went there often when I felt
overwhelmed or when life got me down.

"I hope you'll find solace
and answers there, too.

"I love you,
my sweet daughter.

"I love you so very much.

"Mama."

Thank you, Mama.

Katherine.

I drove back immediately
when I got your message.

Why didn't you
pick up my calls?

I had some
soul-searching to do.

About Richard?

Look, I was just trying
to protect you.

I know, but it was unfair
and uncalled for.

It should have been my decision to make.
He's my father.

I'll fix it.
We can hire him back.

It's too late for that.
He's already gone.

I'm sorry.

I just came from praying
at a little church

my mother used to go to
when she was confused.

Are you confused?

You told your parents
that you love my authenticity.

But I think I've been
lying to myself and to you.

About what?

About who I really am

and what I really want
from my life.

Katherine, if this is
about the big wedding,

let's forget it.

We can find a justice
of the peace.

We can elope.

It's not that, Justin.

You are a good man,

a very good man,

and I sincerely care
about you,

but we come from
different worlds.

Katherine, please
don't do this.

I love you
and I want us to be married.

I'm so sorry.

But when I said yes to you,

I was thinking too much
with my head

and not enough with my heart.

Does that mean your heart
is in Hickory Hollow?

I don't know.

I pray that God will
help me figure it out,

but until He does,

it would be a mistake for me
to move forward with you.

You deserve more than
I can give you.

I hope that someday

you'll be able to offer me
a measure of grace

for putting you through
all of this.

I'm so sorry.

Hello, Austin.

The new color looks great.

Yeah, the place really is
coming around, huh?

Is Daniel back
from his trip yet?

Uh, I'm not really sure.
I haven't seen him lately.

Austin, please.

I know you know where he is.

I just want to talk to him.
It's important.

Will you please help me?

Hello, Daniel.

What are you doing here?

Don't be angry with Austin.

I made him tell me
where you were.

He's hopeless.

After our last goodbye,
I was afraid I might not see you again.

Well, you almost didn't.

I'll be leaving
Canandaigua soon.

That day in town when I came
to your worksite,

I was still in shock to learn
that you were still alive.

I was angry.

Everything you said,
I deserved.

I left you with nothing
but ghost stories, Katie...

Sorry. Katherine.

It's okay.

Katie's okay.

I've been thinking about what we
were taught when we were children,

"If we don't forgive,
we won't be forgiven."

I don't understand.

What I came here to say
is that I forgive you, Daniel,

from the bottom of my heart.

And I'm so sorry
I didn't say it sooner.

You have no idea
how much that means to me.

Is there something more
you need to say?

As you can see,
my ring finger is bare.

What happened?

I should never have
said yes to Justin.

It's not who Dat and Mam
raised me to be.

I know exactly who you are.

You're that girl I fell in
love with all those years ago

under a tree
in Hickory Hollow.

Katie Lapp, you are the most
beautiful girl in the world

and someday
I hope to marry you.

Do you want to
make that promise again?

Will you accept me if I did?

I just let you kiss me.

Katie Lapp,

will you be my bride?

Yes, Daniel Fisher.
Yes, I will.

What is this?

I built this for you.

Why?

This place,

it reminds me of our favorite spot
along the river in Hickory Hollow.

I knew you and I
would never return there,

so I tried to bring
a piece of the Hollow here.

It's absolutely beautiful.

It was meant to be
your wedding present.

Welcome home, Katie Lapp.

Oh.

You look so beautiful.

I've dreamt of this moment
since I was a little girl,

and now it's finally here.

But Mam and Dat...

I know that this is
a very different wedding

than you ever expected,

but life is full of
contradiction

and surprise.

There's someone here
to see Miss Katherine.

Fulton, now is not
a good time!

If guests arrive early,
they need to wait outside.

I understand,

but I wouldn't interrupt
if it wasn't so important.

Katie girl.

Oh.

Ich glaube es nicht!

Mam, Dat.

Amish or modern,

we couldn't miss the wedding of our
precious baby girl for anything.

But I don't understand.

How are you here?

Sometimes the
human heart needs

more than the old ways
can give it.

Oh, Mam.

Thank you.

Okay.

I prayed that somehow you and Mamma
would be present at my wedding,

but I never imagined
you'd be here with me now.

Gott is good, Katie girl.

Justin? Richard?

Sorry I'm late.

I didn't think you would come.

Frankly, I didn't either.

I'm glad you did.

Me, too.

Congratulations, Katherine.

You look so beautiful.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

This means so much to me.

All right, I'm gonna
go grab a seat.

I should go in, too.

Um, Dat, may I introduce you
to Mr. Richard Davies?

Samuel Lapp. Nice to make
your acquaintance, sir.

The pleasure is all mine,
Mr. Lapp.

Ready, Katie girl?
