Anything but Plain

De: Suzanne Woods Fisher

Narrado por: 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.

A different view of Amish life

I enjoyed this different view of Amish life than what I've previously read.
Learning about ADHD was very interesting as well.
Well written and read.

Heartwarming story

Outstanding sensitivity to ADHD personalities!

I absolutely love how Suzanne Woods Fisher gets into the heart of sensitive issues. Her characters are so real! Her portrayal of their situations enables the reader to gain insight and a new measure of understanding. Yet her humor is wound through the tale in an endearing way! I just love this book about an Amish family that struggles generationally with ADHD, though it's not previously diagnosed. A great harvest read!

Engaging

I enjoyed this more than I expected. To the point that I had a difficult time putting it away for chores or sleep. Having a granddaughter that really struggles with ADHD, her handling of the daily challenges need was spot on.

Delightful

Found Liddy to be delightful! I have ADHD, I am 63 years old, and found Liddy so relatable. Nathan is such a sweetheart. Very enjoyable book.
