Lydie Stoltzfus, the bishop's daughter, faces unique challenges in her Amish community. Unlike her peers, she struggles to fit in and often disappoints those around her. The thought of leaving her family and church feels unbearable, but staying might be even worse. When Lydie finds herself between jobs, the local doctor offers her a temporary solution: working at the front desk. Initially, she sees it as a chance to figure out how to say goodbye to her neighbor, Nathan Yoder, who is infatuated with her but believes she doesn't deserve his love. Nathan's father constantly reminds Lydie of this, further exacerbating her self-doubt.

As Lydie spends more time with the doctor, she notices symptoms of a rare disorder among the Amish. Recognizing her potential to help, she offers treatment for Lydie's condition. However, Lydie's doubts persist, and she wonders if it will be enough to convince her to stay in Stoney Ridge.

In this captivating novel by bestselling and award-winning author Suzanne Woods Fisher, readers are transported back to the charming town of Stoney Ridge. The delightful characters and nuanced portrayal of Lydie's ADHD and crisis of faith add depth to the narrative, making it a compelling read. Fisher's writing captivates readers, and this book is sure to win over fans of her previous works.
