Since the day of her sister’s accident when Ruth was only 13 years old, her whole life changed. Whereas once their home was filled with laughter and love, it was now filled with rules, control and sadness. An accident had claimed Abigail’s life during her rumspringa and now that it was Ruth’s turn to have her own, her father’s overprotectiveness causes him to disallow her a rumspringa.
