Lost and Found by Suzanne Woods Fisher Review

Happy Monday Friends :)

It was pretty snowy around here where I'm from, and I loved getting to enjoy a cozy day at home cleaning, cooking, reading and blogging.

I'm especially excited to share today's review with you all today, as I completely adored this particular title, and I can't wait to share all about it with you.

I adore Amish fiction, and I always enjoy Suzanne Woods Fisher's books, and it was an extra special treat to get another unexpected visit to Stoney Ridge.

I can't wait to jump right into today's review, so I hope you'll all keep reading down below for today's full review.

Publisher: Revell

Publication Date: September 26th, 2023

Genre: Amish Fiction/Christian Fiction

Synopsis:

Trudy Yoder shares a passion for birding with Micah Weaver--and she has an even greater passion for Micah. Their friendship is finally turning romantic when Micah abruptly grows cold. Worse still, he wants to leave Stoney Ridge.

Micah Weaver thought he was over Trudy's older sister. A year and a half ago, Shelley had broken his heart when she ran away from Stoney Ridge to pursue a singing career in Nashville. Then, out of the blue, she's started to leave distressing phone messages for him.

When the bishop asks for volunteers to scout out a possible church relocation in Tennessee, Micah is the first to raise his hand. Despite scant details, he's confident he can find Shelley. After all, his reputation as a field guide is based on finding birds that don't want to be found.

What Micah doesn't know is that what you're looking for isn't always what you find.

My Review:

Lost and Found is another wonderful Amish fiction story by Suzanne Woods Fisher, set in her fictional town of Stoney Ridge. I always expect great things when I pick up a title by this author, but this one ended up being even more than I expected and is truly one of the best books I've read the entire year.

As someone who has been reading Amish fiction for a lot of years, I'm always impressed when a title within this genre can stand out as truly original, and that is the case here. Lost and Found is so many things all at once; a wonderful faith based read, an ode to birds and the beauty they bring to God's kingdom, a reminder that we're all God's children, even if we bring something different to the table, and a heart wrenching look at mental illness and the many different faces its struggles can bring to those who suffer from it.

I adored Micah and Trudy in A Season on the Wind, and I've been anxiously awaiting ever since for them to get their own story. It was everything I could have wanted and more. This story will truly pull at every reader's heartstrings and remind us all that our Heavenly Father is always waiting with open arms no matter where we might find ourselves. While I adored Micah and Trudy's story, and I loved the bits about birding, I can't conclude my review without taking the time to mention how much I enjoyed catching back up with David's character. He has such a heart for God and his community, and it was sobering to see what happens when he starts to feel like he's losing his passion for the job he's always felt he was lead to do.

If you're looking for a wonderful Amish fiction title that just mind end up being one of the best books you'll read this year, then I can't recommend enough going ahead and picking up Lost and Found.

Final Rating: 5/5.

I expected to enjoy this one, I didn't expect to find a new favorite story, and I hope it will be the same experience for everyone who chooses to pick it up.

Thanks so much to Revell for allowing me to read and review this title!

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...
