  Plain tells the story of Mary Alice Hostetter's journey to define an authentic self amid a rigid religious upbringing in a Mennonite farm family. Although endowed with a personality "prone toward questioning and challenging," the young Mary Alice at first wants nothing more than to be a good girl, to do her share, and—alongside her eleven siblings—to work her family's Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, farm. She feels fortunate to have been born into a religion where, as the familiar hymn states, she is "safe in the arms of Jesus." As an adolescent, that keen desire for belonging becomes focused on her worldly peers, even though she knows that Mennonites consider themselves a people apart. Eventually she leaves behind the fields and fences of her youth, thinking she will finally be able to grow beyond the prohibitions of her church. Discovering and accepting her sexuality, she once again finds herself apart, on the outside of family, community, and societal norms. 
   
   
   
  This quietly powerful memoir of longing and acceptance casts a humanizing eye on a little-understood American religious tradition and a woman's striving to grow within and beyond it.

  Life was all about forks in the road, Kat's best friend, Em, told her. And Kat knew she hadn't chosen wisely when it came to the forks in her road of life. It seemed each road had led to dismal failure. Her family. Her relationships. All failures. Kat didn't know why Em was still there, especially when Kat rarely took Em's advice. 
  However this time Kat had to admit perhaps Em was right. Renovating the old house she'd inherited gave her a project. It would take her mind off her breakup with Shael, Em said. 
  But going back, facing her past and her bad choices, would that solve anything? She’d also be back within streets of her family home and the parents who had turned her away. Wouldn't it simply make her feel even more depressed? 
  Then Kat phoned a renovation company and her life took another turn. Another fork in her road opened before her and this time she so desperately wanted to make the right choice. She wanted to arrive at the right destination with the right person and she knew getting there was the most important thing she'd ever do.
