Book Description: Trudy Yoder shares a passion for birding with Micah Weaver--and she has an even greater passion for Micah. Their friendship is finally turning romantic when Micah abruptly grows cold. Worse still, he wants to leave Stoney Ridge. Micah Weaver thought he was over Trudy's older sister. A year and a half ago, Shelley had broken his heart when she ran away from Stoney Ridge to pursue a singing career in Nashville. Then, out of the blue, she's started to leave distressing phone messages for him.
When the bishop asks for volunteers to scout out a possible church relocation in Tennessee, Micah is the first to raise his hand. Despite scant details, he's confident he can find Shelley. After all, his reputation as a field guide is based on finding birds that don't want to be found.
My Thoughts: Suzanne Woods Fisher pens a delightful story about a young man and two sisters.
As delightful as this story is at times I became quite frustrated with Micah Weaver. He doesn't see what is right before his very eyes and, yet, he sees so much more. How can one man with two very different sisters not see that the more stable sister, Trudy Yoder, shares his interest while the more flighty sister, Shelley Yoder, just wants to use him.
This is what makes for a great story by a great story teller...making the reader feel the emotion of the story through words. It's like being right there in the distressing moments as well as the sweet moments.
Trudy is a true blue friend but she also wants to be more to Micah than just his good friend. Micah thinks his heart belongs to Shelley. Shelley lives in her own world.
This is a a great Amish story in Stoney Ridge and then there is much about Nashville, TN.
Don't miss this fantastic story of what is lost and what is found.
