It's not easy being the bishop's daughter, especially for
Lydie Stoltzfus. She's not like other Amish girls, as much
as she wishes she were. The only thing she does well is
disappoint others. Leaving her family and church seems
unbearable, but staying might be worse.
Knowing Lydie is "between" jobs, the local doctor asks
her to fill in at the front desk for a few months. To Lydie,
this is a boon. It gives her time to figure out how she's
going to say goodbye to her neighbor, Nathan Yoder--the main
reason she needs to leave Stoney Ridge. Nathan claims he's
in love with her, but she knows she's not good enough for
him. If in doubt, Nathan's father reminds her frequently.
As Dok spends time with Lydie, she recognizes symptoms of
a disorder rare among the Amish. She offers treatment for
Lydie. But will it be enough to make her stay? Or has help
come too late?
Bestselling and award-winning author Suzanne Woods Fisher
invites you back to Stoney Ridge, a small town that feels
like an old friend.
