description: 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.***Readers will be won over by the delightful leads and the nuanced treatment of Lydie's ADHD and crisis of faith brings depth to the narrative.
