(upbeat music)

- [Kathy] 23 Hours?

That's the best flight you can find.

- [Evelyn] You can do 23 hours standing on your head.

You haven't forgotten our lunch meeting?

- No, I haven't forgotten.

- [Evelyn] Good.

We've got some great plans for the book tour

we need to talk about.

- Is touring really necessary?

I'm putting out four books a year

and I'm not complaining, but I'm tired.

- [Evelyn] You can rest later.

Besides, it's the fifth anniversary

of "Broke Girl's Travel Guide."

- So?

(soft jazz music)

Jacques!

- Look at you two.

- There's no meeting?

- It's just us.

We are celebrating "Broke Girl's Guide to South Korea."

It just made the New York Times best sellers list.

- I'm starving.

- Order whatever you want.

It's on the expense account.

- This is better than a business lunch.

- And speaking of which,

Jacques' agents called up this week

with a very interesting proposal.

- Do we have to talk business?

- Wait, you're gonna wanna hear this.

- As you know, Jacques is wrapping up

his umpteenth season on the Traveler's Network

and the format's getting a little bit...

- Stale. We're losing viewers.

I blame streaming.

- Anyway, the network execs found out

about you two lovebirds, and they went crazy.

- Okay.

- They want us to cohost a show together.

Just think.

You and me traveling the world, chasing adventure.

It's like everything we've always talked about.

- So?

What do you think?

(soft music)

- Why me?

I'm a writer.

- You're a writer now,

but this could change your whole trajectory.

You could be the next Padma Lakshmi.

The next Giada De Laurentiis.

- I'm flattered, but I have to think about it.

- Oh, of course.

Take all the time you need.

To your big trip.

To the bestseller.

- To the TV show.

- To you, Kathy.

And one more little surprise.

- There's more?

- Well, I know how tired you've been

and that you've got this big trip coming up.

So I wanted to pamper you.

And this is not off of the expense account.

This is from me.

- Evelyn.

Thank you.

This is amazing.

Very thoughtful.

- I got one too.

- Alright. I'm not gonna play coy here.

I want you to take this weekend,

clear your mind, think about the show,

and by the time you walk out that door,

you are going to be rested and ready

to sign those papers before you go to Kenya.

Sound good?

- Are the treatments included?

- Massages, facials, hot stones, aromatherapy,

the whole works.

If you don't walk out of here relaxed,

I'm asking for a refund.

(laughing)

- Welcome to Tranquility Spa.

Before we go over all the amenities we have waiting for you,

we'd first like to collect your cell phones.

- What if there's an emergency?

- Well, you can use your phone right now

and call someone and leave our number here

at the front desk.

- Evelyn already knows where we are.

I'm sure he's right. We won't even miss it.

Step right through this way,

and your soul journey awaits.

- Soul journey.

(gentle music)

- How's your journey?

(gentle music)

To be honest, I wanna stay here forever.

- I think I actually achieved

a higher level of consciousness.

- I fell asleep, and it was a really peaceful sleep.

There's something about walking around in robes

and slippers that's so calming.

- Now that you're so relaxed,

have you thought about the show?

- Well, I'd be crazy not to say yes,

but it's a big step.

Traveling 10 months out of the year is hard enough,

but then, add a camera crew?

- I know, but we'd be together.

Right now I feel like we're pen pals.

Kathy, I have never met another woman

who shares my passion for adventure the way you do.

Admit it.

You are a restless soul, just like me.

- Not knowing when the dawn will come, I open every door.

Emily Dickinson.

- Well, I may not be able to say it like Emily,

but I just want us to be in the same time zone.

Don't you?

- Of course I do.

- I just thought you'd be as excited as I was.

- I am.

There's just this little part of me that's still unsure.

- By the end of this weekend, you will be 100% sure.

I 100% guarantee it.

- Well, I'm learning to breathe this morning.

- I'm pretty sure I know how,

but why don't you give me the highlights at lunch?

(soft calming music)

- I hope your soul is full.

- I don't think I missed my phone as much

when I didn't have it as I do right now.

- It's like stepping back into the world

you didn't know you were missing.

- [Miriam] This message is for Katrina Yoder.

This is your sister, Miriam.

It is my responsibility to tell you

that our father has gone with God.

- [Jacques] I'm sorry.

- [Kathy] I shouldn't have let them take my phone.

- [Jacques] He'd still be gone.

- But I'd be there.

(soft music)

Hey, Evelyn.

- Hey.

I wanna let you know that I am thinking about you

and I'm sending you all the positive energy out there.

I forget.

Where are you again?

- Mountain View.

- Oh, right.

Amish country.

And you seriously used to be Amish?

- I still am, kinda.

I left when I was a teenager

and haven't been back in about 10 years.

- Well, I say we forget

all about "Broke Girl's Travel Guides,"

and you write about that.

- That's definitely not what I want to be known for.

- It could be worse.

Listen, Jacques told me

that you're still having some reservations about the show.

I don't wanna put any pressure on you,

especially not right now.

- Thanks.

- But Jacques' agents keep calling for an answer.

- I can't think about that right now.

- I know, and I'm sorry.

I know they say don't mix business with pleasure,

but you and Jacques are perfect for each other.

- No one's perfect.

- I thought both of my ex husbands were perfect.

Don't keep me and Prince Charming waiting too long.

Love you.

- [Kathy] Bye.

(soft music)

- Is that Katrina Yoder with her nose in a pie?

- Isaac Mast?

- Wish you were here under different circumstances.

- Me too.

- Your father will be greatly missed.

- Thank you, Isaac.

- Who's she, daddy?

- Sarah, this is Katrina.

A girl who used to live here a very long time ago.

- It wasn't that long ago.

Hi, Sarah.

It's nice to meet you.

And I go by Kathy now.

- How English.

- That's pretty.

- Thank you.

How does it look?

(laughing)

- Katrina?

- Hazel.

I came here first.

- That's just 'cause you wanted pie.

Pick what you want. It's on the house.

- Come on. I wanna pay.

- Come on. You're family.

I won't take your money.

- What about me, Hazel?

- It's so good to see you.

We have to catch up.

I wanna hear everything.

- That won't take long.

Nothing's changed here.

- Can I have the raspberry?

- Nothing changes.

It's raspberry.

It's always raspberry.

Sarah, it's time to go.

Will it be another 10 years

before we see you again, Katrina?

- Stop.

I'm here for a few days.

We should grab a drink and catch up.

Coffee.

We should drink coffee.

I hope I didn't offend him.

- I wouldn't worry.

That's the happiest I've seen him in a very long time.

Isaac spends most of his time

cooped up making furniture.

If it weren't for Sarah, we'd probably never see him.

- Thank you, Hazel.

You should come by soon.

- Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

(gentle music)

(light knocking)

(soft music)

- May I help you?

- Miriam.

It's me.

- Yeah, I know who you are.

What are you doing here?

Our meeting with father's attorney is tomorrow.

- I wanted to see you.

I thought I could stay here.

There's no reason for you to be here.

I got here as soon as I could.

I canceled a work trip to be here.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

Take your English car and your fancy clothes and go.

(gentle music)

- Siri, where's the nearest hotel?

- [Siri] The nearest hotel is 42 miles away.

- [Kathy] Where's the nearest inn or bed and breakfast?

- [Siri] One result found.

- Why aren't you staying with Miriam?

- You know the saying, you can always go home?

It's not true.

Luckily, Siri found me you.

- Well, here she is.

- Wait, where do you live?

- Sarah and I stay in the cabin out by the barn.

It's just the two of us.

There's plenty of space for us.

- I was sorry to hear about your wife.

I can't imagine how hard that must be.

- We're fine.

Thank you.

Here are the keys.

You stay as long as you like.

Unlike Hazel, I accept cash or check.

- Thanks.

(phone dings)

No electricity.

(soft music)

Emily.

(light knocking)

Morning, Miriam.

- Hello, Kathy.

I'm Tom Russo, your father's attorney.

- Nice to meet you.

- My daughter adores your books.

She's studying abroad right now in Barcelona.

If I hear from the consulate, I'm blaming you.

Well, you know Amos, of course.

Miriam's husband.

- Actually, no, but it's very nice to meet you, Amos.

- Well, let's get started.

Shall we?

- Sure.

- You're no doubt aware that your father was not a rich man.

However, he did own this farm outright.

According to this, his last will and testament,

he bequeathed the property to both his surviving daughters.

(somber music)

- Both?

- [Tom] Yes.

- There must be some mistake.

- Yes, there must be.

- Oh no, there's no mistake.

I mean, you can read it for yourself.

The will is quite clear.

- Katrina has not stepped on this property in 10 years.

I've poured my life into this farm.

She left off to be in Englisher.

- Miriam, calm down.

- Miriam, you're right.

You live here and I'm not coming back.

You should have the farm.

You can have my half.

- Why?

- If I could interject,

ownership will come with a hefty property tax.

Tax that will fall on you, Miriam,

if you choose a sole ownership.

This is a very valuable piece of property.

- I can help with the taxes.

- Absolutely not.

- Miriam, I make a good living. It's no problem.

- We will not except charity from an Englisher.

Amos and I have plenty.

- I'm sure you do.

All I'm trying to say- - You've said enough.

- Kathy, if you're sure you wanna sign over

your share of the farm Miriam, we can re-deed the property.

I'll just need to prepare some new paperwork

for you to sign.

Can you stay in town until we get the paperwork done?

- Sure.

- Miriam, Amos, I'll get you the estimate

of those property taxes as soon as possible, all right?

- That will be fine.

(gentle music)

- Where's she going?

- I don't know.

- [Jacques] How will you ever survive.

- The same way I did for almost 18 years.

- Yeah, but didn't know any different.

No electricity, no running water.

Himalayan base camps have more luxuries.

- What about the episode where you slept in the yurt

with the Mongolian goat herders.

- That was just for the cameras.

No, I had a suite at the Four Seasons in Ulaanbaatar,

who has excellent room service, I might add.

Listen, I know you're dealing with a lot of stuff there,

but don't forget about the show.

- I won't.

- Hang in there.

Talk soon, love.

Bye.

- Oh!

Hey!

I had to charge my phone.

Needed to make some calls.

Looks like I'll be here a little longer than I expected.

- I can get you a generator.

Guests aren't expected to live our Amish ways.

- Did you forget I used to be Amish?

I can make it a few days.

- You were, but that was a long time ago.

- Are you making clover necklaces?

(soft music)

Here we go.

See, if you tie it around the neck, see.

If one third of a whole necklace.

So then, she insisted that they're gonna pay

the property taxes.

Where are they gonna get that kind of money?

What about Amos' family?

Could they help?

- Good family from up North, but not a lot of money.

Amos was one of your father's hired hands.

- She is so stubborn.

Why won't she let me help?

- You haven't told me how you are.

- I don't know.

I haven't really had time to think about it.

I rushed around so much to get here,

and then I went by the house.

And I just had this mixture of guilt and sadness

just knowing that I was never gonna see him again.

And then Miriam shows up and throws me out.

Had no idea she was so angry.

- At least it's nice here.

- It is.

It's kinda funny though.

I'm in this big house all alone

and Isaac and Sarah down there in that tiny little cabin.

- It's heartbreaking is what it is.

He's barely set foot in here since his wife passed.

- So that's why he wouldn't come in.

- I should quit gossiping and get back to the stand.

- I'm never gonna eat all this.

- I know better than that, Katrina.

Some things never change.

(soft music)

- Hello!

Anybody home?

- Who's that?

- Nobody. I will be right back.

What on earth!

- I thought I'd bring over some dessert.

I can't believe Hazel's doing all the baking

and running the pie shop now, can you?

I think she might even be better than her mother.

- I do not want your pies.

- Who are you?

- I'm your aunt Kathy.

- Do I have an aunt Kathy?

Grandad told as about her.

- That's enough now, children.

- Is that your car?

- Well, it's my rental.

So I guess it's mine while I'm here.

- Are you staying for dinner?

- I think that's up to your mom and dad.

- She's not staying.

Now, you guys go back to the table

or I'm gonna send you to bed with no supper at all.

(soft music)

Why would you interrupt us in the middle of our meal

and fill my children's head with your worthiness.

Do you have no respect for family?

- They don't even know about me.

- I don't want them getting any silly ideas

and following in their aunt's footsteps.

- That's their choice, isn't it?

- Can you please just go back home?

You turned your back on your family

and you turned your back on your church,

and no amount of money or pie will ever change that.

- I didn't turn my back on anyone.

I just wanted to have my own life.

- Well, you got it.

- Maybe Miriam's right.

Honestly, I think I only wrote home

because it made me feel better.

- Don't you beat yourself up about it?

If you hadn't left, you wouldn't be you.

- Yeah, but I hurt people who cared about me,

and I don't know how to make it better.

- Well, if anyone can, it's you.

Do you remember when you dropped your laptop

in the Amazon River and you still finished your draft

to "Broke Girl's Guide to Brazil" on time?

- Yeah, but that's not the same.

- Maybe not, but I have faith in you.

- Thanks, Evelyn.

(somber music)

What is this?

(light hammering)

(solemn music)

- Did I wake you?

- I made breakfast, or lunch.

It's a Moroccan dish.

(speaking foreign language)

Much tastier than it sounds.

- Oh!

No, that's spicy.

Your work is stunning.

You're an artist.

- I don't see it that way, but thank you.

- How much are they?

- It's already taken.

Everything I make is.

- Really?

- One of my guests is an interior designer in Los Angeles.

She took a liking to my work.

Now, I have a very long waiting list.

- Isaac!

That's wonderful.

- Yes, it is, but it's also very time consuming.

- I know what you mean.

- Come on.

I'll make you some Amish cuisine.

(soft music)

- That looks so good.

I found a leather journal filled with poetry

in the house last night.

Have you read it?

- Can't say I have.

- It was on your bookshelf.

- Lots of books on the bookshelf.

Sometimes my guests leave them.

- I don't think a guest wrote these.

They're poems about Amish life.

- The farm was my wife's family's.

Maybe it was one of theirs.

- I think it'd make a beautiful book.

- No one wants to read Amish poems.

- That's not true.

I do.

(gentle music)

We play in the shadows of giants turned to stone.

Behind green hills, where two can be alone.

I know this place.

(somber music)

We play in the shadows

of giants turned to stone.

- Katrina!

Katrina.

Katrina, where are you?

- Behind green hills.

Where two can be alone.

- Come on.

Who knows what happens here after dark?

The founders could rise from the grave

like those English ghost stories you read.

Boo!

- Isaac!

- Come on. Let's get outta here.

- Light splatters like an egg on the surface of the water.

The sunset has nothing on a farmer's daughter.

(gentle music)

- They're gonna catch you one of these days.

- This is a hundred years old.

There's nothing sinful in it.

- Still, you shouldn't have a library card.

Who knows what you'll find?

- Maybe I want to find something.

- Isn't everything we need right here?

- No, it's not.

I don't wanna live in one place my whole life.

What about the founders?

I wanna see Europe where our people came from, don't you?

- It's probably not great if they left.

You wouldn't really leave, would you, Katrina?

- I don't know, Isaac.

(dramatic music)

- Isaac.

- This one is called, "The Rooster Sings."

- Did you make it up just for me?

- Just for you.

The rooster sings at daybreak.

(indistinct)

At dawn's first early light.

Goodnight.

(light knocking)

Katrina.

- I know you wrote this.

- How did you know?

- We play in the shadows of giants turned to stone?

- I wrote that when we were teenagers.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- You weren't the only one sneaking library books.

I was just better at hiding it.

- You didn't have to hide it from me.

- I wasn't as bold as you were.

But, when I discovered poetry,

it was like discovering myself.

- You could have told me.

- I wanted to.

I almost did, but then you left.

- When I asked you about the notebook...

- My poems are for me, Katrina.

- But why not share them with others?

- And scandalize my church?

You can finish reading them if you want.

- Thanks.

Goodnight, Isaac.

- Goodnight, Katrina.

(somber music)

(gentle music)

(phone ringing)

- Hey, you're up early.

- Oh, I haven't been to bed yet.

They're editing the finale and they cannot find

a single frame where my hair looks decent.

- I'm sure it's not that bad.

- Oh, I would be in bed if it weren't.

But enough about me. How are you doing?

- Well, I've been learning to quilt again.

- Why don't you forget the quilts and come home?

Just for a few days.

We can rent a car.

We'll drive out to the Hamptons.

Talk about us.

- About the show.

I know you want an answer, but I don't have one.

I just, I need a little more time.

- How much time?

- I don't know.

But for the first time in a long time,

I feel like I've been able to clear my head

and just get a little perspective.

- Kathy, you know how I feel about you, right?

- [Hazel] Katrina.

- I know, but I gotta go.

- [Jacques] Wait.

- We'll talk soon, I promise.

Just get some sleep.

Bye, Jacques.

(light knocking)

Come in.

- Am I interrupting?

- No, I was just talking to Jacques.

He wants me to come home.

- He misses you.

- He wants to talk about our future.

- Don't you?

- What's going on downstairs?

- We come every year.

Isaac's not much of a farmer, but he is generous.

He lets the community work his fields,

and we're making the midday meal downstairs.

You should come help.

- You think that'd be okay?

- You're still one of us, whether you like it or not.

- I just don't wanna upset Miriam.

- She won't make a fuss.

Not in front of all of us.

And it might be a good chance for you two

to spend some time together.

(solemn music) - Okay?

Just give me a minute to get dressed.

You might wanna wear something a little less that.

Maybe try to blend in a little.

You remember my cousin, Katrina.

She's staying here and has offered to help us.

- Hello, everyone.

- Miriam, I thought Katrina might assist

with your potato dumplings?

- It's not necessary.

I'm quite familiar with Katrina's abilities in the kitchen.

- Even Katrina can peel a potato.

- One would think.

- [Hazel] Miriam!

- That's fine.

Maybe I can help someone else?

- There are more potatoes.

What are you doing?

- Peeling potatoes, like you said.

- I meant the boiled potatoes.

I didn't think I would have to explain

every nuance of a recipe

we've helped our mother make hundreds of times.

- I never had your skills.

- Cooking requires patience

and the ability to follow simple rules.

Virtues we do not share.

- You don't know that.

You don't know anything about me, Miriam.

- I know enough.

Once you've finished peeling,

grate the potatoes into the bowl.

- Then we add them to the dough.

Mix them together with the bread, parsley, onion, eggs.

Salt and pepper to taste,

then we roll them into balls and boil them covered

for 15 minutes before serving.

- Well, if you know the recipe so well,

why did you peel the wrong potatoes?

- Because I made a mistake.

I'm human, Miriam.

Well, you forgot the most important ingredient.

- No, I didn't.

I just didn't wanna tell the whole kitchen

our family secret.

You know how Amish gossip.

- Mother only used paprika,

but I blend in cinnamon and cloves.

Amos goes mad for it.

Don't know why I'm telling you this.

You're gonna be back eating fast food soon enough.

- We still have a few days to catch up.

Few days isn't much time, not after 10 years.

- I could come back more often.

- It's too late.

Your life isn't here, Katrina.

Never was.

- That's not true.

(phone ringing)

Hey, can I call you back?

Sorry, that was my manager.

- Get back peeling. You've wasted enough time.

- Miriam.

(soft music)

- I hardly recognized you.

- It's Hazel's.

She loaned it to me.

She thought I should try to blend in.

- I don't think it's working.

Sorry, I didn't tell you about the party.

I assumed you wouldn't be interested.

- I think you've forgotten how much I enjoy eating.

Oh, I finished reading your poems.

I would love to discuss them with you sometime.

- I gotta get back to work.

(somber music)

- Do you ever wish you can fly?

- Like the birds?

- No, like an airplane.

- Sarah, you know that's not our ways.

- Why?

- We don't have anywhere we have to go that far away.

- Katrina flies.

- Yes, Katrina does.

She always wanted to travel?

Some are just born that way, I guess.

- Was I born that way?

- You wouldn't wanna leave me, would you.

- No, I would never leave you.

(soft music)

(phone ringing)

- Hey, Evelyn.

Sorry I didn't call you back.

- How are you?

I would go crazy if I were you.

- Well, I've been reading a lot.

I found a book of poetry an old friend wrote.

I've been staying at his farmhouse.

- You haven't found yourself an Amish farmer, have you?

- No.

He's an old friend and he's not a farmer, he's an artist.

- Maybe I should meet him.

How Amish is he?

- I don't think Isaac's your type.

- An Amish poet with a heart of gold?

Oh, he's my type.

The press would eat him up.

- The Amish frown on artistic expression.

- [Evelyn] Is that why they shunned you?

- They didn't shun me, I left.

And Isaac has zero interest.

- Well, one can dream.

- It's my favorite time of day.

- Reminds me of our walks.

- After church meetings.

- I never apologized for leaving the way I did.

- It's a long time ago.

- I know, but I'm sorry.

I should have told you.

And I thought you'd try and talk me into staying.

- I would have.

- I had to see what was out there.

I was just afraid I was missing out on something.

- Were you?

- There are so many beautiful places I wish you could see.

- Hearing you talk about them is enough for me.

- Sometimes I wonder if I missed out on certain things

by leaving.

- Doubt you missed very much.

- Being back here has reminded me

just how important community is.

I missed that.

- Even in a big city with so many people?

- You can feel lonely, even surrounded by a lot of people.

- That's why I still live in the cabin.

It was just too much empty space to fill.

- I get that.

- Sarah's really enjoyed having you around.

(somber music)

- Just Sarah?

- I'm concerned about you, Isaac.

It's time you chose a new wife.

- I do appreciate your concern, but Sarah and I are fine.

And it will be time when we're ready.

- Spending time with Katrina

is not going to help that matter.

It's not just me.

Others have seen the way you look at her.

- I have to wonder if these words are yours or Miriam's.

- Miriam does not tell me what to say,

but we do both feel it is better

if you cut ties with her.

- She was not shunned.

Katrina and I are friends, nothing more.

- She may not have been shunned,

but you know as well as I do

that she is no longer one of us,

and her staying here is not in your best interest.

- I allow Englishers to stay in my farm house.

It's a source of income. That's all.

- You're saying you have no feelings for Katrina?

- It doesn't matter what I feel or don't feel.

Katrina will be leaving soon.

She has a life and it's not here.

- I understand.

But there are many eyes on you

that aren't as forgiving as I am.

And I would not want to say

that when I brought this warning to you out of duty,

that you did not heed it.

- I understand, Amos.

Thank you.

King me.

- She's not worth it.

- Been looking for you all morning.

Where have you been?

- I didn't know where I went was your concern.

- Wow! Grumpy much?

- I was low on supplies.

Hardware store is 30 miles away.

- I can set you up with regular deliveries online.

- I'm fine.

I can take care of myself.

- I just fixed some coffee.

You want some?

- I'm busy.

- Too busy for coffee?

- I have to get this done.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- What can I do?

- You can put that pie in that box for me.

- Sure.

You haven't seen Isaac, have you?

- Not lately. Why?

- He's been acting weird.

- You're awfully concerned about Isaac Mast's wellbeing.

- We've been friends for a long time, that's all.

- I am aware of you and Isaac's history, as is everyone.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Maybe he feels what everyone else knows.

- And what does everyone else know?

- He's happier since you came back,

than he's been in a long time, that's all.

- And that's a bad thing?

- You're going to leave.

- I guess I just got really caught up

in trying to figure out what I'm gonna do next.

- What do you mean?

- Jacques and I were offered a TV show.

- Katrina Yoder, a TV star?

You're just now telling me?

It's exciting.

- I know.

- You don't sound excited.

- That's what Jacques says.

He loves the idea of us traveling together.

- And you don't?

- I do.

We enjoy so many of the same things,

like travel and food and...

- You and I share a fondness for pies,

but that's not why we're friends.

- You know what I mean.

- Well, if you like traveling so much

and you like Jacques...

- Then it's a no brainer, right?

- No.

What I was gonna say is,

there must be something holding you back.

(gentle music)

- [Sarah] I like your quilt.

- You do?

You wanna come see it?

This is called the block.

It's easy enough, but it takes time and patience.

- What's it going to look like?

- You'll get an idea when I start piecing the top.

My mom and I came up with this design a long time ago.

She thought I'd win best junior quilter

for the fourth year running.

- Why didn't you finish it?

- I'll tell you the rest of the story when you're older.

- Where's your pretty dress?

- That was Hazel's.

Thought I better save it for special occasions.

- You want another one?

- [Kathy] Sarah, where are you going?

(soft music)

- [Sarah] They're mommy's.

- They're beautiful.

But I think we better keep these in here for right now.

- Can I keep watching you?

- Sure.

But first, I think we need some raspberry pie.

- I love raspberries.

- Put your thumb back up here.

See if you can pull it like that.

- Sarah, I think it's time to leave Katrina alone.

- We're fine.

I'm teaching her how to quilt.

- You?

- She was the best junior quilt for three whole years.

- And quite modest about her accomplishments.

You can stay here with Katrina,

but I think Rebecca might be upset

if you miss your sleepover.

- Bye, Katrina.

(laughing)

- Your things are in the buggy.

You're ready to go to?

- Can Katrina come too?

- To a little girl sleepover?

I don't think so.

- Katrina, do you wanna ride in the buggy with us?

- Well, I guess that's up to your dad.

(soft music)

- Whoa!

Be good, Sarah.

- Bye, Katrina.

- [Kathy] Have fun.

- I'll keep an eye on these two troublemakers.

Night, you two.

- I've seen the Eiffel Tower,

Machu Picchu, Niagara Falls, Stonehenge,

but nothing compares to the sunset here.

It's like that line you wrote

about stepping into the morning dew

when you wake up to work before dawn.

What's wrong with you?

- It's nothing.

- It's definitely something. Just tell me.

- I have nothing to say.

- Pull over.

- What? - Pull over.

- Where are you going?

Very amusing, Katrina.

(somber music)

Come back

Katrina, please stop this foolishness.

Where are you?

Gotcha.

- Boo!

(laughs)

- You finally got me.

It only took how many years?

- I like to live in the present.

- I find that hard to believe.

Dragging me up to Founders Pond

like we were still teenagers?

(chuckles)

- I have something I wanna say,

and I want you to promise to hear me out.

- Fine.

I promise.

- I thought of a way you could publish your poems.

And I know some people who could help.

I know you're worried about what the church will say,

but you could use an alias.

Lots of writers do it, and no one would ever know.

- Are you finished?

Katrina, even if they never knew, I would know.

And living with that would tear me apart.

And as much as I admire English poets,

I have no desire to be one.

I'm sorry that my words are harsh, Katrina.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

- No.

I thought I wanted to share you.

I realize that's not what I really want.

(soft music)

- Katrina, no.

- I can't help it.

I have feelings for you. Am I the only one?

- I may have feelings for you.

We both know we have no future.

I am Amish and you are not.

- I am still Amish.

Technically, I never left the church.

- Technicalities don't hold water

in the eyes of our community, you know that.

- And you would never leave the church.

Not even for love?

- It's getting dark outside.

We shouldn't be out here alone together.

People will talk.

(sobs)

(phone ringing)

(soft music)

- He might not leave, but...

(light knocking)

Hazel, is that you?

Evelyn, what are you doing here?

- Well, I know you said you needed some space,

but it looks like I got here just in time.

What's going on with this dress?

- Forgive the ambush, but you make me do crazy things.

It's a cute costume.

- Right?

- Come on in.

- [Evelyn] Quaint.

- You have wifi?

(soft music)

- Hope you're hungry.

- I just had no idea that you could cook.

- It's a classic Amish dish, potato dumplings.

It's actually the only thing I do well.

- I'm totally off gluten,

but they smell delicious.

- More for us.

- It's really good.

The coffee's great too.

Getting some earthy tones.

- Kathy, you are absolutely right.

You and your friend should be repped by the same publisher.

- Evelyn, I told you he's not interested.

- Well, can I at least meet him?

You know how convincing I can be?

- Who's she talking about?

- No one.

- The sexy Amish poet?

- I never said he was sexy.

- He will be on the book cover.

- Have you met someone?

- No, I... (phone ringing)

I have to take this.

- Is it good?

- Hi, Mr. Russo.

- [Tom] Hi, Ms. Yoder.

The paperwork is ready and I spoke to your sister

and she's ready to sign whenever you are.

- All right.

- [Tom] Would you have any time today?

- How about...

I can do now?

- [Tom] Oh, that works.

- Great. I'll see you soon.

I have to go over to my sister's and sign the paperwork,

but we can talk about everything when I get back.

- I'll come with you.

- No, no, I...

You should stay here with Evelyn and just stay inside,

but help yourselves to whatever.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

- Sit down.

Have a biscuit.

(somber music)

- That's it.

Congratulations, Miriam.

You're now the sole owner.

- You deserve it.

Well, I guess this is it.

- I suppose so.

- I almost forgot.

I brought you something.

- Is this the one that you and mom...

- I tried to finish it for you,

but I guess I ran out of time.

- It looks more like a potholder than a quilt.

(laughing)

The stitching's not bad.

Did you use one of your fancy English, sewing machines.

- Nope. I did it by hand.

The Amish way.

- Mom would be proud.

- Well,

goodbye.

(soft music)

Evelyn.

Jacques.

(soft music)

- This is amazing.

Kathy was right. Your work is absolutely beautiful.

- That's very kind of you, ma'am.

- So how many of those can you crank out?

- I make each one custom.

At the end of the month,

this one goes to a customer in Los Angeles.

- You deliver them by horse and buggy?

(laughs)

- Kathy!

Well, your charming friend was just showing us his workshop.

- I told you to stay in the house.

- Well, when Evelyn told me about the Renaissance man,

you've been spending all your time with,

I just had to meet him.

- Jacques.

- He may make furniture, write poetry,

but does he have a TV show?

- Do you want a TV show?

I can get you a TV show.

- Katrina, you told them about my poetry?

- No, not exactly.

- Wait, why is he calling you Katrina?

- Isaac, I am Kathy, Katrina's literary manager.

I've read your work and I have a publicist on the hook.

All you have to do is say yes.

- Evelyn, stop.

Isaac, just let me tell you the whole story.

- I don't want a story.

You fooled me to think you were still that Amish farm girl

I used to follow to Founder's Pond,

but you're just as English as the rest of your friends.

- I never lied. Everything I told you was true.

- No, you betrayed me, Katrina.

Or should I call you Kathy?

You should leave now.

- Just let me explain.

- We can still talk, right?

Wait.

- Looks like you and poetry boy been keeping pretty busy?

When were you gonna tell me about him?

- There's nothing to tell.

We just talk, that's all.

He's an old friend, but looks like that's over now.

I'll go get my things.

(somber music)

Dear dad, greetings from South Korea.

I love the food here.

Yesterday, my lunch reminded me

so much of the egg noodles...

Dear dad, back in New York after three months in Europe.

I'm enclosing a check to get you through the winter.

Promise me you'll cash it this time.

Dear dad, konichiwa from Japan.

Aloha from Hawaii. How's the farm?

Congrats to Miriam on the new baby.

Here's some money for the new plow.

I wish I could visit, but work's keeping me so busy.

Send my best to Miriam.

Love, Katrina.

(soft knocking)

- [Miriam] Isaac.

- Now what?

I'm sorry, Miriam.

I thought you were Katrina.

- I'm looking for my sister, Isaac.

I thought she was staying in your farmhouse.

- She was, but she's gone.

- She must've been very anxious to get back to her life.

- I asked her to leave.

She's no longer welcome here.

- What do you mean?

- I do not wish to discuss it?

- Katrina is my sister, Isaac.

Whatever happened to her, I am entitled to know.

- She betrayed my trust.

That's all I'll say.

- Now, she and her English friends

are on their way back to New York where they belong.

(somber music)

- I do not know about these English friends

or the manner in which she betrayed you,

but after seeing you two together at the work party,

I do not think that she would ever mean to hurt you.

- Katrina has changed.

She's not the girl that I once knew.

- She hasn't changed as much as you might think.

She's still one of us.

She might not look like it, but she is.

- Can't believe you of all people are defending her.

- And I likewise, but today my eyes were opened

and I saw my sister for who she actually is,

not who I thought she was.

- My eyes were opened too,

and I did not like what I saw.

Dressing Amish does not make you Amish.

- You seem to be a very rational man, Isaac Mast,

in all regards except my sister.

- Once we get back to New York,

you forget all about this place, these people.

You focus on our future.

That's what matters.

You are gonna love doing TV.

The best part, you don't have to write.

Someone else will do that for you.

- I like writing.

- Yeah, but you're always complaining

about how overworked you are and the deadlines.

- I know.

But I still love it.

I was just tired, but I feel different here.

I'm inspired to write, but not travel guides.

I wanna write about people.

- I get it. I get it.

Your childhood memories are here,

but that's not your life anymore.

- I know.

I just kinda miss it.

- We have so much ahead of us.

You're just like me. We crave adventure.

You are not gonna find that here.

- No, you crave adventure, Jacques.

- And you crave what?

Just admit it.

You and I, we're exactly the same.

That's why we're so perfect for each other.

- Stop.

(dramatic music)

I have to say one last goodbye.

I'll be right back.

- Hey, where's she goin'?

- I have no idea.

(dramatic music intensifies)

- Goodbye.

We need to go or we're gonna miss our flight.

- Yeah, we are celebrating tonight-

- I can't go.

- Oh, okay.

Take five minutes.

- No.

I mean, I can't go back to New York with you.

I'm staying here.

(somber music)

- For how long?

- I don't know.

Jacques, I'm sorry, but I can't do the show with you.

This.

Us.

It'll never work.

- I think you're making a big mistake.

- You're in love with who you want me to be.

You're always looking for the next adventure.

And I'm looking for something else.

- Well, I can't say I'm completely surprised.

I don't know what you're looking for

but I hope you find it.

- I'll miss you.

- You know where to find me.

- Even if you don't do the TV show,

you still owe me a "Broke Girl's Guide to Kenya."

And don't forget about the book tour.

And maybe dinner in a few weeks.

- That sounds great.

And I promise, we'll talk soon.

- You better?

- Sure you're gonna be okay here?

- Yeah.

I am.

(somber music)

- Is he tucking in his chickies?

Is he raising them up right?

To learn the family song at dawn's first early light?

- Where's Katrina?

- [Isaac] She went home.

- Why can't she live here?

- [Isaac] Because she lives far away.

- Can we visit her?

- [Isaac] No, I'm afraid not.

- I miss her.

- Would you like another poem?

(light knocking)

- Katrina? - No.

Sarah, it's not Katrina.

She's in New York.

Katrina.

- We need to talk.

It's not a good time. I was just putting Sarah to...

Sarah. - Hi, Katrina.

- Hi, Sarah.

- Daddy was reading me a bedtime poem.

Do you wanna hear it?

- Sarah.

- Actually, I was hoping I could share one of my poems.

- I didn't know you wrote poetry.

- Daddy please, can we hear Katrina's poem?

- There is a paradise as lovely as the cliffs of Santorini,

northern lights in Norway,

Topaz waters of Tahiti.

Where the air smells like lilies

in the Gardens of Versailles,

spice markets in Morocco, a pig roast in Kauai.

A place I feel as warm as a fur coat in Odessa,

a mountain hot spring in Hokkaido, a summer night in Texas.

But all along my heart was here.

My paradise.

This home.

(soft music)

That bad?

- No.

I appreciate you sharing it.

(soft music) - I never meant to hurt you.

I only mentioned your poems to Evelyn

because they were filling me with so much emotion.

It was practically spilling out.

I told her you didn't wanna share them.

She got that idea when she found the notebook

in the house, and she read it and...

- I am so sorry.

- I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.

I should have heard you out.

- I'm not going back to New York.

- You have things to do.

You're an author, a world traveler.

- Isaac, I've spent the last 10 years trying to find myself,

trying to find happiness,

but nothing makes me feel like I do here.

I think I belong here, with you.

I still love you.

And if we can't be together,

unless I rejoin the church, well then,

I guess I'll just have to rejoin the church.

It'll take some getting used to, of course,

but we can make it work, if you want.

- I can't ask you to leave your life.

- You didn't ask.

- When you left, you took our future

and our dreams with you.

And for you to say that you're coming home

and everything is gonna be as it was...

- No, I get it.

Why would you trust me?

I wouldn't trust me either.

I gave up my chance with you 10 years ago.

- I've got Sarah to think about.

- You're absolutely right.

Can we just forget about this?

Please.

- It's late.

You should stay in the house tonight.

You can leave in the morning.

- No, I don't wanna confuse Sarah.

- Your sister came by looking for you earlier.

I'm glad you made it before you left.

- Give Sarah a kiss and tell her goodbye for me.

(soft music)

- What's wrong?

Okay, some here, sit.

Sit, sit, sit.

What happened?

- I went to Isaac's house and I told him I loved him.

- What did he say?

- Same thing you did.

- That I made my choice 10 years ago

and he couldn't give me another chance.

- Thought he was smarter than that.

It's very shortsighted, that one.

- He told me you came by looking for me.

- Yeah.

Well...

(soft music)

I finally went to clean the Dottie house,

and I found the letters that you'd been writing all along.

I never knew that you sent money.

- I did what I could, but it wasn't enough.

I'm sorry I left you, Miriam.

I know I hurt you.

- That's not the reason

why I have been so bitter towards you.

Mom and dad missed you so much

and they need a lot of help.

So I stayed.

I never even took my Rumspringa.

Never had the chance.

And I know that I am never gonna be able to see

all of the amazing things that you write about.

- You've read my books?

- It's not that I'm unhappy.

I have a good life and I love my family.

- Well, I've been everywhere

and I still don't have a place to call home.

- Yes, you do.

This will always be your home.

There's a reason that father left you half of the farm.

You will stay here as long as you like.

(light knocking)

Who is that?

- [Isaac] Can I come in?

- Yes.

Keep your voice down. Everyone's sleeping.

- Isaac.

Is something wrong. Where's Sarah?

- She's fine.

She's at Hazel's.

I'd like to talk to Katrina.

- Yes, but get to the point.

It's late.

- What I should have told you earlier is...

- Go on.

(soft music)

I still love you too, Katrina.

And if it's not too late, if you'll still take me,

be my wife.

- What would the church say?

- No, that's not what I want.

I don't want you to change for me.

I'll rent the farm out. Sarah and I will move.

- I can't let you do that.

You were going to do that for me.

- Yes, but you would be giving up so much.

Like you said, everything you need is right here.

- Not everything.

Not you.

I'm ready for this adventure.

I've been thinking about this for a long time.

Besides, you and I are not as different

as you think that we are.

You know I like to...

To write.

- Go with him.

- You just said, this was my home.

- It is.

You shouldn't be here.

You would be unhappy here.

I stayed here out of duty.

You two are good and generous people.

Katrina, you sent money to keep the farm going.

And you gave me your share of the farm

when I was so not deserving of it.

And Isaac, you open your farm and your resources to others.

It is not outward appearance or following rules

that makes you good.

It is what comes from the heart.

And yours is filled with love for others.

Go out into the world and do good.

I think they might need you a little bit more than we do.

- I don't wanna leave you.

- Katrina, I heard mom tell dad

how proud she was of you,

and I know that dad was too.

Go live your life.

This is my life, not yours.

God be with you.

- Thank you, Miriam.

(dramatic music)

- [Kathy Voiceover] I spent most of my life unsettled,

searching for a place where I felt content,

but no matter how much I achieved,

I kept striving to be more.

I've been looking for home.

Not my childhood home, not a place at all,

because home isn't a place.

Home is where you feel wanted and loved, accepted,

not because of what you do,

but because of who you are.

It doesn't matter how little or how much you have

or how you look.

The only thing that matters is what's in your heart.

I no longer have to search because home is where you are.

(soft music)
