They were searching for their long lost granddaughter when Michelle Taylor crossed paths with them.

When she saw that they are mistaking her for their granddaughter, Sara Murray, Michelle decided to go with the flow and assume the identity of the granddaughter. Once living as a hopeless and homeless, Michelle now has a good, loving family. She loves the new Amish friends who come to comfort her thinking that she was struggling all these years while she was away from her family. As time goes by, Michelle comes to think of starting a romantic relationship with one of the close acquaintances of the Lapp family. Later, Michelle Taylor finds a blue-colored old jar that was kept in the barn. This jar contains small paper slips containing quotes, prayers, and thoughts by an unknown writer. This discovery and its contents tend to boost the budding faith of Michelle Taylor, but it also seems to convict. She decides to tell the truth about her real identity.
