Commentary As Books The Keeper (Stoney Ridge Seasons #1)
A family. A farm. A heart. All in need of repair.Life on Windmill Farm hasn't been the same since Julia Lapp's father has had trouble with his heart. But that doesn't stop Julia from hoping for a bright future. She has planned on marrying Paul Fisher since she was a girl. Now twenty-one, she looks forward to their wedding with giddy anticipation. But when Paul tells her he wants to postpone the wedding--again--she is determined to change his mind. She knows who is to blame for Paul's sudden reluctance to wed: the Bee Man.
Roman Troyer, the Bee Man, travels through the Amish communities of Ohio and Pennsylvania with his hives full of bees, renting them out to farmers in need of pollinators. A mysterious man who relishes his nomadic life, Roman especially enjoys bringing his bees to Stoney Ridge each year. But with Julia seriously at odds with him, Windmill Farm is looking decidedly less appealing.
Can Julia secure the future she's always dreamed of? Or does God have something else in mind?

Paul Fisher is not the guy for Julia Lapp, even if they are promised to one another. She's finally woken up and realized his cold feet might mean something. But she's angry. And she targets Roman Troyer, the Bee Man, as the instigator (with a little prompting from others!)Roman is far from home, a man who roams from place to place with his bees. He has a streak of white hair announcing the trauma he's experienced because if one looks closely they'll see a handsome young man. He's not as old asThe blurb does a poor job of describing this convoluted novel. This a family story that includes romance.I usually enjoy SWJ's novels. Imo, she is the best Amish writer but this book was a shocker if you read more than the romantic parts.The only likeable character was Fern. She was tough but fair. I disliked Roman the most. He was a know-it-all and busybody with poor advice. This leads to a disgusting storyline about Menno who is 17 with " an 8 year old brain." Roman prevents Julia from
I have recently discovered the wonderful author Suzanne Woods Fisher. Every one of her books that I have read so far, has totally drawn me in, and got me turning the pages, even the one that wasn't a work of fiction, which normally I find harder to get through self help type books.You know you have a good book in your hands, when you can't wait to get to the end to see how everything turns out, until you are getting close to the end, and the you change to not wanting it to end. That is my
So when looking into Suzanne Woods Fishers The Bishops Family series I figured it would be best to read this series and the one that follows before starting the previously mentioned series since they all take place in Stony Ridge. Well at the end of this book in the Authors note Mrs. Fisher mentions that (at the time) all five of her novels take place in Rocky Ridge. Seeing as that her first series is called Lancaster County Secrets I didnt think I would need to read it so I started here. Since
Another great book by Suzanne Woods Fisher! From the first page till the last page of this book, I had a hard time putting this book down. I have to admit that there was not a slow page in it.The story of Windmill farm brought tears to my eyes but at the same time brought lifted spirits. The story of Julia and her upcoming marriage to Paul Fisher both broke my heart when he postponed it but at the same time I was hoping that she would see him for what he really was.And oh the Bee Man, what a
Amos Lapp has a grave heart condition. His farm, Windmill Farm, is in disarray and his children are doing the best that they can to get the crops planted. Julia's excitement about her upcoming wedding to Paul Fisher is short-lived when he visits her produce stand one day. He's been speaking with The Bee Man and thinks they should postpone the wedding. Julia is heart-broken, as this is the second time this has happened.Sadie is doing the best she can to cook their meals and take care of the
This was a lovely story full of romance and special relationships that is very different from a lot of the Amish novels that are being written now.What I love the most about this author is her sense of characterization. All of her characters are so well-written, with layers upon layers of personality, that it is hard to believe they dont really exist. Julia, for example, is a fully fledged person, with her positive and negative sides in constant battle, which makes her a fascinating person to
