The Lesson by Suzanne Woods Fisher:

Source: Christmas Gift from my Hubby

Publisher: Revell

Publication Date: January 1st, 2013

Genre: Amish Fiction

Series: Stoney Ridge Seasons

Synopsis:

In her wildest dreams, spunky and impulsive nineteen-year-old Mary Kate Lapp never imagined herself behind a schoolteacher's desk. A run-in (literally) with the schoolteacher compels her to act as a substitute teacher, just as her restless desire to see the world compels her to apply for a passport . . . just in case. The only thing of interest to M.K. in the sleepy Amish community of Stoney Ridge is the unexplained death of a sheep farmer that coincided with the arrival of a mysterious young man into the community. Frustrated that no one takes the crime seriously, she takes matters into her own hands. Unfortunately, as tends to be the case for M.K., she jumps headlong into trouble.

Centered on one of Suzanne Woods Fisher's most loved characters, this is the story fans have eagerly anticipated. The precocious M.K. is all grown up (well, almost) and ready to take on the world--with surprising results. Fisher's trademark plot twists and turns are as unexpected and satisfying as ever in this third book in the Stoney Ridge Seasons series.

My Review:

I've been a lifelong fan of Amish fiction, and Suzanne Woods Fisher has become one of my all time favorites within this genre. I've been working my way through her Stoney Ridge Seasons series, and I loved both the first and second titles in the series. However, I was really looking forward to getting to read M.K.'s story, as she'd been such a pistol in the first stories, and I couldn't wait to see what the reader was in store for.

I have to say that I appreciated that her character has definitely shown growth, but that her spitfire spirit is firmly still a part of her. She more learns how to use that spirit for good, rather than it constantly being the source of what gets her into trouble. This particular title was also a little bit different than the previous books, as there's more of a mystery element that ends up tying into both M.K. and her new friend Chris Yoder's past, and I personally thought that element was really well done.

I've come to expect great things when I pick up a book from this author, and I wholeheartedly loved this one. It ended up being my favorite from the series, and it wrapped up everything nicely.

I'd love to get a chance to revisit these characters in the future, as there were definitely still a few questions I had when everything finally did wrap up.

Definitely another new favorite from this author, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Amish fiction.

Final Rating: 5/5.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)
