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?
This is another great novel by Susanne Woods Fisher.
I began reading this novel thinking it would be along about
the same as other novels.
Boy, was I wrong. From the beginning I was either laughing
or crying!
There is a major twist in the story, that I did not see
coming.
In my opinion, it just make the book.
I can't help but wonder what sister the next book will be
about.
This is by far one of Susanne's best novels yet.
This book was given to me by Baker Publishing Group to
read and review.
thanks! I live very close to Amish country and would find the details in this book interesting..
ReplyDeleteHi Shelby! Thanks so much for being a part of the blog tour for "The Keeper." I'm so glad you think it's the best so far...my goal is to have each book be better than the one before it. Blessings to you and your loved ones in 2012. Warmly, Suzanne
