It's not long before a quilting circle forms and women from both the Amish and English worlds are crafting and socialising together - much to the consternation of the furniture craftsman next door. Caleb Brand has kept to himself since he lost his betrothed under scandalous circumstances, and he could do without all the feminine chatter, not to mention Katie Miller's carefree attitude.
