Leaving Stoney Ridge feels unbearableâbut how can she stay?
Impulsive Lydie Stoltzfus has always felt like a disappointmentâa square peg in a round hole in her quiet Amish community. Leaving her family and church seems like her best move, even though it would mean leaving Nathan Yoder behind.
Nathan claims heâs in love with her, but she knows sheâs not good enough for him.
And if she is ever in doubt, Nathanâs father reminds her frequently.
Knowing Lydie is âbetweenâ jobs again, the local doctor asks her to fill in at the front desk for a few months. This gives Lydie time to figure out how sheâs going to say goodbye to Nathanâand it gives Dok ample time to recognize the symptoms
of a disorder rare among the Amish. She offers Lydie treatment that has the potential to change her life.
But will it be enough to make her stay? Or has help come too late?
