The Baker's baby

The Faith's Creek rumor mill is heating up when a newcomer arrives with a baby. Will the young man find a future in the community and possibly love, or will rumors chase him out of town?

Since the death of her husband, Rebecca Stoltzfus has been struggling to raise her daughter Nancy and run her bakery. She believes Gott wouldn't give her more than she can handle, but running the bakery and being a single parent tests her faith. While Rebecca is a bit wary of the new stranger, she needs his help.

Rebecca is impressed with Daniel's baking and his love for baby David. It's a delight to watch them interact.

Daniel never dreamed he could feel so fulfilled, but raising David and working with Rebecca brings him immense joy.

Unfortunately for Daniel, the town's gossip, Leah Schwartz, has her eye on him. Her desperation to marry has her driving a wedge between Daniel and Rebecca's burgeoning relationship. Leah's unhappiness leads her to make an awful decision that has horrendous consequences for Daniel and the life he's building in Faith's Creek.
