The Lesson By Suzanne Woods Fisher




In her wildest dreams, spunky and impulsive nineteen-year-old Mary Kate Lapp never imagined herself behind a schoolteacher's desk. A run-in (literally) with the schoolteacher compels her to act as a substitute teacher, just as her restless desire to see the world compels her to apply for a passport . . . just in case. The only thing of interest to M.K. in the sleepy Amish community of Stoney Ridge is the unexplained death of a sheep farmer that coincided with the arrival of a mysterious young man into the community. Frustrated that no one takes the crime seriously, she takes matters into her own hands. Unfortunately, as tends to be the case for M.K., she jumps headlong into trouble.

Centered on one of Suzanne Woods Fisher's most loved characters, this is the story fans have eagerly anticipated. The precocious M.K. is all grown up (well, almost) and ready to take on the world--with surprising results. Fisher's trademark plot twists and turns are as unexpected and satisfying as ever in this third book in the Stoney Ridge Seasons series.

She is also the coauthor of a new Amish children's series, The Adventures of Lily Lapp. Her interest in the Anabaptist cultures can be directly traced to her grandfather, who was raised in the Old Order German Baptist Brethren Church in Franklin County, Pennsylvania.

She lives in California. For more information, please visit www.suzannewoodsfisher.com and connect with her on Twitter @suzannewfisher.

You are going to LOVE the conclusion to the Stoney Ridge Seasons series. As with any of  Suzanne's books I could not put it down. I loved Mary Kate Lapp and Chris and his sister Jenny. I feel in love with all three of them right off the bat.

This is a must read series. Best book hands down in the series.
If you have not read Suzanne's books before, this is fantastic series to start out with.
I give this book 5 stars
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher

  20. Hi Mary! So glad you M.K.’s story hit the mark for you! Means the world to me to hear that. My goal is to make every book better than the one before it. I’m sorry I haven’t stopped by your blog sooner on the tour…I had a manuscript due in right after Christmas, just as “Lesson” was releasing, and I’ve been busier than a one-armed paperhanger. Just getting caught up now. If you have a minute to spare, would you post your review on Amazon? Those customer reviews are hugely beneficial. Thanks again for being part of the blog tour, Mary! Warmly, Suzanne
