And when she finds what looks like the pitcher's matching basin in an auction held at a nearby Amish farm, she wonders if the seller could have a connection to the Amish family. Determined to find the mystery man who sold her the piece and give him the opportunity to sell it for a fairer price, Elizabeth soon realizes that tracking him down may be harder than she expected. She learns that, not only has he not been home in days, but there is a possibility he is also very sick. Can Elizabeth find him before it's too late?
