What a refreshing story!
Lydie Stolzfus is a loveable character. She means well, is kind to everyone, but just can’t seem to keep a job or stay focused on one task for too long. She’s forever taking the blame on messing things up. These traits get her into fixes, and allows her to be easily manipulated by others. As the story progresses, another character comes alongside Lydie who knows exactly how to help Lydie. Because she’s ADHD herself.
Nathan Yoder loves the land of his grandfather and is determined to do better than using chemicals and pesticides to farm. He’s determined to use organic methods and work the land the way it was intended to be.
There are plenty of conflicts in this story, a lot of tension between characters, and ugly secrets that threaten to topple families. Readers will be delighted with a shocking revelation as the story nears the end. A cast of likeable characters bring Lydie’s and Nathan’s story to life as they struggle to understand these two odd Amish members.
As always, Suzanne Woods Fisher weaves just enough detail to immerse readers into the Amish community, giving a taste of the plain life. This story is a hope-filled one – that no matter how difficult life becomes, God always makes a way through.
