Book Review - The Search by Suzanne Woods Fisher

I know what you are thinking... another Amish romance? What gives? And what do the Amish know about romance anyway?

There are so many authors writing in this genre right now that it is hard to find anything new, it seems to be the same old storyline every time. However, Suzanne Woods Fisher is a master at her craft and you will not be disappointed in The Search!

From the publisher:

When worlds collide, can the truth set two young women free?
As a child caught up in a crisis, Lainey O'Toole made a split-second decision with far-reaching effects. Fifteen years later, when her car breaks down in Stoney Ridge--the very town in which that decision was made--she is forced to face the past and discover how her decision has impacted so many.

Bess Reihl is less than thrilled to be spending the summer at Rose Hill Farm helping her intimidating grandmother Bertha recover from surgery. It doesn't take long for Bess to realize that her grandmother coaxed her to Stoney Ridge for an entirely different reason. But once Bess meets hired hand Billy Lapp, the summer starts to hold some promise.

Lainey's and Bess's worlds are about to collide and the secrets that come to light will shock them both.

The Search is Suzanne Woods Fisher's third book in her Lancaster County Secrets series and so far, my favorite.

From the very beginning you are drawn into a community that you feel like you could belong to. You want to bake cherry tarts in Mammi's kitchen and you can almost smell the fragrance from the roses wafting from Rose Hill Farm.

The characters are written in such a way that you want to know them. There is such depth and emotion  - you find yourself caring about what happens in their lives.

Suzanne weaves a story that twists and turns and you never know what surprise will pop up next. Not 'just' a romance, The Search is a story of healing and forgiveness and finding where you truly belong.
