The Haven book review and giveaway!

The Haven is is the second book in the Stoney Ridge Season series by Suzanne Woods Fisher.  I adored the first book, The Keeper, and fell in love with the characters- particularly Sadie Lapp.  I wanted so much to know what life had in store for her.  Sadie is painfully shy but feels deeply with her heart.  In The Keeper it appeared that love and life might pass her by but in The Haven we find that things have changed- for the better.:)  Sadie now has two young men that are vying for her affections and a baby on top of all that!  Is the baby hers?  What will the little Amish community of Stoney Ridge have to say about this?   Reading The Haven was like returning home to a dear friend and picking right up where you left off.  It's cozy, endearing, funny (Gideon's petit fours incident will have you laughing out loud!) and heartwarming.  M.K. (Mary Kate) is once again outspoken and spunky and I suspect that the next book may be her story?  Suzanne??  The mystery of the baby is utterly precious and unexpected.  Sadie's father, Amos, has is own story line and happy ending and Will Stoltz, the newcomer, adds a bit of mischief and fun.  Thank you, Suzanne, for writing Sadie's story so perfectly.  It was worth the wait!:)

{About Suzanne}

Suzanne Woods Fisher’s interest in the Amish began with her grandfather, W.D. Benedict, who was raised Plain. Suzanne has a great admiration for the Plain people and believes they provide wonderful examples to the world. In both her fiction and non-fiction books, she has an underlying theme: You don’t have to “go Amish” to incorporate many of their principles–simplicity, living with less, appreciating nature, forgiving others more readily– into your life. When Suzanne isn’t writing or bragging to her friends about her first new grandbaby (!), she is raising puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind.

To Suzanne’s way of thinking, you just can’t take life too seriously when a puppy is tearing through your house with someone’s underwear in its mouth. Suzanne can be found on-line at: www.suzannewoodsfisher.com.

{About The Haven}

When Sadie Lapp steps off the bus in Stoney Ridge after being in Ohio for the winter, she is faced with a decision–one that goes against her very essence. Yet it’s the only way she can think of to protect a loved one. Schoolteacher Gideon Smucker has been crazy about Sadie since boyhood. But his response to her surprising decision undermines his own reputation–and his relationship with Sadie. College student Will Stoltz is spending the spring at the Lapp farm as a guard for a pair of nesting Peregrine Falcons–courtesy of the Lancaster County Game Warden. Will needs to get his life back on track, but his growing friendship with Sadie threatens his plans.

The lives of these three individuals intertwine, and then unravel as unexpected twists create ripples through the town of Stoney Ridge . . . and through Sadie’s heart.

Once again, bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher intrigues and delights with a story that explores the bonds of friendship, family, and true love. Readers will enjoy every surprise in Sadie’s story as they search for the truth hidden within these pages.
