Prepare for consequences when you love your neighbor. In 1851, Polly Black arrives in Elm Ridge, Illinois with little more than her sewing skills, her young son, and the persona of a widow. To preserve her reputation, she needs to tread lightly when a recent widower, a powerful man who knows she never married, courts her. A new shop opens across the way, and the owner's friendly face is a welcome sight for both Polly and her son. Born and raised in a Pennsylvania Deutsch community, Kurt Tafel moves to Illinois for adventure and an opportunity to run his own cobbler shop. He's not an immigrant, but is he American enough to act on his feelings for the intelligent and pretty seamstress?
