The Lesson

By Suzanne Woods Fisher
Centered on one of Suzanne Woods Fisher’s most loved characters, this is the story fans have eagerly anticipated. The precocious Mary Kate Lapp 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.
In her wildest dreams, spunky and impulsive nineteen-year-old M.K. never imagined herself behind a schoolteacher’s desk. A run-in 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.
ISLAND BREEZES
We’re back with the Lapp family and the one daughter, Mary Kate, who’s left at home. Headstrong and impulsive, M.K. happens upon a murder scene and just can’t stay out of the investigation.
Chris Yoder, both secretive and new in town, is at the center of M.K.’s suspicions. Things start going downhill rapidly with her meddling.
M.K. gets roped into teaching school in hopes of settling her down. It doesn’t seem to be working.
Toss in a couple young men for romance and it appears that her life will keep on disrupting everyone else’s.
The Stoney Ridge Seasons series has been a good one. I wonder what Suzanne Woods Fisher has in store for us next.
