Book: Anything But Plain

About the book:

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.

My thoughts:

I feel like I've read quite a few books by Suzanne Woods Fisher.  This one did not disappoint.  I enjoyed the topic of ADHD in this book as it was a topic I had not seen previously addressed in all of the many books I've read from the Amish genre.  I actually learned some things about ADHD as well and helpful ways to help people cope who have ADHD.

I enjoyed the character Lydie and was cheering for and wanting to see her be successful. 

This is the author's site.  She has so many wonderful books and series.

I received a copy of this book as part of the Revell Reads blogger team for my honest review.  Thank you.

Have a day of blessings!
