Iris Glick has spent her entire life feeling worthless and like an outcast. With her plain looks, she is the brunt of her brothers' harsh jokes, making her even more self-conscious about her appearance. At nineteen-years-old, Iris decides to take drastic measures to gain the attention of a potential boyfriend. When Iris meets Jason Rutger, the new boy in the district, her friend Lydia warns her that Jason comes with a troubled past. Despite the words of warning, Iris throws herself head-long into a relationship that tests her faith and makes her push her boundaries. Rather than finding the value she has always wanted, her time with Jason only plunges her into deeper misery and uncertainty. With the help of her friend, Lydia, and a handsome Amish boy named Henry, Iris is given the chance for a new direction in life...but will Iris be brave enough to take it, or will she continue to follow Jason, who is a sure thing?
