In the final book of the Katy Lambright Series, Katy's worlds collide. Shelby Nuss, Katy's best friend outside of her sect, breaks her ankle right before leaving with her family on a mission trip. Unable to travel, Shelby decides to stay with Katy on her farm, which delights Katy to no end. Finally, parts of her world are coming together! But when Shelby is in Schellberg full-time, things with Katy's other best friend, Annika, once again become strained, and Katy's issues with Caleb Penning get worse.

Katy has always enjoyed life in her small Mennonite community, but she longs to learn more than her school can offer. After getting approval from her elders, Katy starts her sophomore year at the public high school in town, where she meets new friends and encounters perspectives much different than her own. But as Katy begins to find her way in the outside world, her relationships at home become restrained. Can she find a balance between her two worlds?

In book three, Katy Lambright thinks everything in her life is finally going smoothly-at school, she has a group of friends who understand her, while at home life with her new mom isn't as bad as she'd feared. But everything begins to come apart when Katy is chosen, as a joke, to be the sophomore representative on the homecoming court. With this comes the pressure to conform to what is expected of her in that position-a fancy (and revealing) dress, makeup, and a focus on appearance. It also means involvement in the homecoming dance, which goes against the beliefs of her Old Order Mennonite sect. Adding to this is the fact Katy would need to attend the dance with a sophomore male representative-Bryce Porter, her crush. Katy must decide whether to follow the desires of her heart, or the leadings of her faith.

Katy Lambright's life transforms when she leaves the Mennonite school and enters a local high school. Is she prepared to face the secular world and teenage life beyond her community?

Just as Katy is feeling settled in her new school, everything falls apart at home. Her father, believing she needs a mother, starts courting a woman Katy refuses to accept. Tensions rise as Katy schemes to send the woman packing.
