As her mother's attempts to find Louisa a husband show no signs of abating, Louisa takes solace in her friendship with Jeannie's brother Lucas, but could an unexpected opportunity offer a solution to both their problems? Meanwhile, Jeannie finds herself torn between her heart and herfaith. With each other's help, can the girls hold true to what they believe in, even as the village enters its darkest days yet?
