Anything but Plain

By: Suzanne Woods Fisher

Narrated by: Rachel Botchan

Leaving Stoney Ridge feels unbearable—but how can she stay?

Impulsive Lydie Stoltzfus has always felt like a disappointment—a 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 he’s in love with her, but she knows she’s not good enough for him.

And if she is ever in doubt, Nathan’s father reminds her frequently.

Knowing Lydie is “between” 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 she’s going to say goodbye to Nathan—and 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?

Great!!

This is a very endearing story about a very important subject matter. I loved the author’s approach. The narrator is one of my favorites. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a clean wholesome book. So hard to find clean books in audible.
