Lost and Found by Suzanne Woods Fisher Book Review

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 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.

What Micah doesn't know is that what you're looking for isn't always what you find.

 My Thoughts:

 Suzanne Woods Fisher is one of my favorite authors. I’ve heard people say that they are tired of the Amish genre. I get it as the stories feel all too similar. Not with Suzanne Woods Fisher she has a way to create a unique plot that will capture your heart.

Welcome back to Stoney Ridge as you meet up with some characters from “A Season on the Wind.” One character that I really like is Micah Weaver and was thrilled to dive more into his character. Micah Weaver is known far and wide for his astute bird-watching skills. He has a way of tracking down the hard-to-find birds. Trudy Yoder has been by his side learning about the different birds as a sidekick. Their friendship has grown deeper and a budding romance is growing.

Trudy has a birding log that is at the end of each chapter. You learn about several birds and their habitat and other interesting things about each bird. I love her notes as she has a unique insight into their character and things, she is learning from each of God’s creations.

Micah had feelings for Trudy’s older sister almost two years ago. She suddenly disappeared and headed to Nashville to pursue a singing career. Micah had moved on from his heartbreak. She suddenly starts leaving distressing messages and clues about her whereabouts.

The community is looking at possibly relocating its church in Tennessee. The Beachy community has moved in and is causing some issues with the Plain community. The bishop asks for volunteers to scout out the area. Micah is the first one to volunteer for the task. He believes that he can locate Shelley while there.  

Sometimes what you find is not expected. Mental illness can sometimes be a hidden issue and it affects everyone close to you.

The story weaves itself together beautifully. I enjoyed this story and getting reacquainted with old characters. The ending was satisfying.   

 I received this complimentary product through Revell in exchange for my honest thoughts.
