The Keeper
January 12th, 2012. Filed under: This & That.
The Keeper by best-selling author Suzanne Woods Fisher. Full of the plot twists and surprises her fans love, The Keeper is the first book in the new Stoney Ridge Seasons series.
Julia Lapp has planned on marrying Paul Fisher since she was a girl. Now twenty-one, she looks forward to their wedding with giddy anticipation. When Paul tells her he wants to postpone the wedding–again–she knows who is to blame. Perpetual bachelor and spreader of cold feet, Roman Troyer, the Bee Man.
Roamin’ Roman travels through the Amish communities of Ohio and Pennsylvania with his hives full of bees, renting them out to farmers in need of pollinators. He relishes his nomadic life, which keeps him from thinking about all he has lost. He especially enjoys bringing his bees to Stoney Ridge each year. But with Julia on a mission to punish him for inspiring Paul’s cold feet, the Lapp farm is looking decidedly less pleasant.
Can Julia secure the future she’s always dreamed of? Or does God have something else in mind?
ISLAND BREEZES
Suzanne Woods Fisher has done it again. This book is a keeper. So are the bee keeper and the family.
Several of these people need a heart makeover, but will it actually happen? Some of them are too busy protecting their heart.
You’ll find a whole range of emotions in this book. You might as well have that box of tissues at your side while you’re reading this book. If you have a heart, dear reader, you’ll be downright sobbing before you reach the end of this story.
