But Emma is restless and unsure about her commitment to the Amish faith. She longs for new experiences, so when her father suggests that she spend the summer in Charm, Ohio with her cousin Lydia Ann (Meg Whitman), Emma jumps at the opportunity. In Charm, Emma meets librarian Kelly Bennett (Tiffany Dupont), an “Englischer” who is visiting her Aunt Irene (Dawn Lafferty) in Charm to get over a bad breakup with a cheating boyfriend. Despite their very different backgrounds, Emma and Kelly bond over their love of books and become good friends. As she becomes exposed to an entirely different world, Emma become increasingly torn between her two worlds – not to mention her growing attraction to handsome, inquisitive Noah (Trevor Donovan), an Amish man who also questioned his faith at one time. “Love Finds You In Charm is the second in what we hope becomes an ongoing franchise for UP, based on the success of this year’s Love Finds You In Sugarcreek and the continuing popularity of the ‘Love Finds You…’ book series," said Barbara Fisher, svp, original programming, UP. “Charm is a lovely, scenic, coming-of-age romance with a stunningly attractive cast led by Trevor Donovan, Danielle Chuchran, Drew Fuller and Tiffany Dupont.” UP presents Love Finds You In Charm, a George Shamieh production.
