THE SEARCH by SUZANNE WOODS FISHER

THE SEARCH by Suzanne Woods Fisher is the third book of her series entitled, "Lancaster County Secrets."  I love Lancaster County and the people who live there. The Choice is the first in this series and The Waiting follows. Is it possible to have a favorite? I love them all, but, there is something about The Search that leaves you feeling complete. We meet Lainey O'Toole who makes a stop through Stoney Ridge on her way to new dreams, but something happens. It has been fifteen years since she left Stoney Ridge.  Her heart cannot leave this place. There are secrets she is holding. The past is holding her future hostage. When she sees Bertha Riehl walk through the bakery everything changes. She once again feels a connection. Bertha has secrets of her own and is a woman who is determined to bring her son, Jonah,  home once again. She invites her granddaughter, Bess, to come to Stoney Ridge for a summer visit. What a summer it turns out to be. Bess is the young girl who will bring her family together once again. This story holds forgiveness and redemption. Love and letting go. Will this family find the answers they have been searching for? I loved this book. It is so beautifully written and Suzanne has a way of just bringing the characters alive. It is as though you have taken a stop in Stoney Ridge and get to have a front row seat into the lives of those who live on Rose Hill Farm. This is one you will want to have for your reading collection.
