Book Overview
Julia Lapp has planned on marrying Paul Fisher since she was a girl. Now twenty-one, she looks forward to their wedding with giddy anticipation. When Paul tells her he wants to postpone the wedding--again--she knows who is to blame. Perpetual bachelor and spreader of cold feet, Roman Troyer, the Bee Man.
Roamin' Roman travels through the Amish communities of Ohio and Pennsylvania with his hives full of bees, renting them out to farmers in need of pollinators. He relishes his nomadic life, which keeps him from thinking about all he has lost. He especially enjoys bringing his bees to Stoney Ridge each year. But with Julia on a mission to punish him for inspiring Paul's cold feet, the Lapp farm is looking decidedly less pleasant.
Can Julia secure the future she's always dreamed of? Or does God have something else in mind?
Full of the plot twists and surprises her fans love, The Keeper is the first in a new series by bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher. Through touching family relationships and trials of the heart, Fisher's vivid characters grapple with yielding to God's will when it doesn't match their own.

The Keeper is a "Keeper"
Published by CookB , 5 years ago
Suzanne Woods Fisher is an author that writes great Amish fiction that pulls a reader into the plot and doesn't let go. I have only read 13 of her novels, but so far I have enjoyed each one. The Keeper (Stony Ridge series) is one of my very favorite, but The Haven is just as good as well as The Lesson, which several people say it's her best. The Imposter, book number one of the Bishop Family series was hard to put down, and I also read The Devoted number three in the series. Due to not finding the book in time, I still have number two The Quieting to look forward to. If one likes to read as much as I do, look for Amish beginnings series Anna's Crossing, The Newcomer, and The Return. I can't wait to find, Nantucket Legacy, Phoebe's Light, Minding the Light, and The Light Before Day written in 2018.
