Born and bred Amish, including being a bishop’s daughter, Lydie can’t seem to fit in, almost everything she touches backfires. She is easily distracted, forgets important things, and causes chaos wherever she goes. No one is more unhappy by her behavior than Lydie herself, but even though she tries her hardest, she can’t stop getting into trouble.
She has loved Nathan all her life, and he loves her, but something is being held over Lydie’s head that causes her to stop the relationship. Are they doomed to be apart, and both unhappy without the other?
Nathan and his brother, Mick, are in a contest that will change the course of their lives. Their father has pitted them against each other. Mick will be using chemicals while Nathan will use organic methods to grow their crops. Whoever has the biggest harvest will win the entire farm.
Doc may have the answer to Lydie’s problem, but her father does not want her taking medicine. Is there a drug-free way for Lydie to get help?
Lydie’s grandmother is a domineering woman, negative, and will not tolerate anyone disagreeing with her. She brings her own form of mayhem, and has just decided to move in and “fix” Lydie. Will Lydie only get worse from this treatment?
Lying and conniving is going on in this tale, with many people not what they seem. This is a highly entertaining book that you won’t want to put down. Despite all the fun, the tale has a serious side that covers adult medical issues that can be helped with the right care.
You might recognize yourself, or someone you know, in the pages of this story. I recommend this five-star book to those who enjoy well-written Amish tales, or modern stories.
