One moment, Carrie Weaver is planning to elope with Lancaster Barnstormer Solomon Riehl, leaving their Amish community behind. The next, she is staring into a future as broken as her heart. Now Carrie faces a choice. An opportunity. But will this decision, this moment in time, change her life forever? "Fisher kicks off a refreshing new series, Lancaster County Secrets, with characters that are strong, both in body and spirit. They also have weaknesses that develop into strengths with the choices they make."

Review: I have read Christian fiction before but never one that centers around the Amish. I wasn't sure what I would think at first but once I started reading it I found myself stealing any moment I could to read. I wanted so badly to skip to the end and see what the final outcome was but i didn't. Instead I stayed up late one night and finished the book! Carrie makes a choice within the first few pages of the book that will change her life forever but it's not the only choice she is faced with as we are invited into her life through Suzanne's writing. Suzanne's writing had me feeling like I was part of the story; I cared for the people in the book. This book shows how God tests each of us with trials but he is faithful to provide for us. The discussion questions at the end of the book make it perfect for a book club. I will be sure to check out the next book in the Lancaster Country Series!
About the Author: Suzanne is a wife and mom, raiser of puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, and an author of Christian books, both non-fiction and fiction.Her relatives on my mother's side are Old Order German Baptist Brethren, also known as Dunkards. That's where her interest in Anabaptist traditions began. Suzanne's grandfather was born into a family of 13 children, started his career as a teacher in a one-room school house in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and ended it as one of the very first publishers of Christianity Today. "We called him "Deardad" even though he was a very stern fellow. Still, Deardad's life inspired me to write."
After college, Suzanne was a freelance writer for magazines and became a contributing editor to Christian Parenting Today. Her work has been featured in Today's Christian Woman, Marriage Partnership, Worldwide Challenge, among others. She took the plunge into books a few years ago and now she's hooked.
