Anything But Plain is not the cookie cutter story of many Amish fiction books. Suzanne Woods Fisher has used her experience as an author and knowledge of the Amish people and their culture to create a story about a little known disorder.
Lydie Stoltzfus has never felt like she “belonged”. She has grown up believing she can’t do anything right. As she enters into young adulthood Lydie is faced with the need to work outside the home, and decisions and questions about her relationship with her lifelong friend Nathan. As she continues to believe nothing can be done right, she gets the opportunity to work with Dok, who sees the signs of the disorder that is holding Lydie back.
While the subject matter is new and a little different than the typical Amish fiction book, I found it to be very interesting and I enjoyed the slight change in topics. Suzanne Woods Fisher remains one of my favorite authors and she has definitely won my support with Anything But Plain.
