Leaving Stoney Ridge feels unbearableābut how can she stay?
Impulsive Lydie Stoltzfus has always felt like a disappointmentāa 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 heās in love with her, but she knows sheās not good enough for him.
And if she is ever in doubt, Nathanās father reminds her frequently.
Knowing Lydie is ābetweenā 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 sheās going to say goodbye to Nathanāand 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?
