Keeping people at arm's length had worked well as a life strategy for Sam Schrock.

Until he met Mollie Graber.


Schoolteacher Mollie Graber has come to Stoney Ridge for a fresh start. Aware of how fleeting and fragile life is, she wants to live it boldly and bravely. When Luke Schrock, new to his role as deacon, asks the church to take in foster girls from a group home, she's the first to raise her hand. The power of love, she believes, can pick up the dropped stitches in a child's heart and knit them back together. Mollie envisions sleepovers and pillow fights. What she gets are sleepless nights and police at the door.

There's only one thing that breaks through the girls' hard shells--an interest in horses. Reluctantly and skeptically, horse trainer Sam Schrock gets drawn into Mollie's chaotic life. What he didn't expect was for love to knit together the dropped stitches in his own heart . . . just in time.

Suzanne Woods Fisher invites you back to the little Amish community of Stoney Ridge for a touching story of the power of love.

My thoughts: Its been a long time since I read a book that gripped me so tightly that I read the entire thing in six hours. STITCHES IN TIME is engaging, drawing the reader into the life at Stoney Ridge and investing us in that small fictional Amish community. I became so involved that I actually cried at the end, but I won't tell you why.

There are some unfinished storyline threads which makes me anxious to read the next book in the series. Some recipes are included. There is also a very strong faith message which I loved.

There is a hint of a romance, but this is not a romance, its women's fiction or family drama. There are very few Amish writers that I'm a huge fan of but Suzanne Woods Fisher is one of the top five. Possibly number one on the list,

Fans of Amish fiction will definitely want to read STITCHES IN TIME as well as other books in Ms Fisher's backlist. Grab your copy today,
