The truth about the tinderbox will forever change not only her own life, but also that of her family and her Amish community"-- The day before her parents' twentieth wedding anniversary Sylvia Miller stumbles across the key to the old brass tinderbox her father, Earnest, keeps in his Lancaster County watch repair shop. Inside is a secret from his life as an Englisher; when she confronts him, Earnest admits that he is not fit to be a member of the Hickory Hollow Amish church. He confesses his secret to Rhoda, his wife, and Sylvia, but when word of Earnest's deceit reaches others in the community the truth pits Amish neighbors against one another, threatens to dry up Earnest's livelihood-- and to break up Sylvia's engagement to the preacher's grandson.
