About the Book

Escape to Cape Cod–where you just might find the secret to happiness

Callie Dixon had the world by its tail . . . until it all slipped away. Fired from her dream job after making a colossal mistake, she’s escaped to her aunt’s home on Cape Cod for time to bounce back. Except it isn’t a home, it’s an ice cream shop. And time isn’t going to help, because Callie’s bounce has up and left. There’s a reason she made that mistake at work and she’s struggling to come to terms with it.

Things go from bad to worse when Callie’s cousin Dawn drags her to a community class about the secret to happiness. Happiness is the last thing Callie wants to think about right now, but instructor Bruno Bianco–a curiously gloomy fellow–is relentless. He has a way of turning Callie’s thoughts upside down. Her feelings, too.

Could Bruno be right when he says that hitting rock bottom is the very best place to be? If so, how is that supposed to help her find exactly what–or who–has been missing all along?

About the Book

Book title: The Return

Author: Suzanne Woods Fisher

Release date: Sept 1, 2017

Genre: Amish

In a wild country, the true cost of love may be more than they can bear

Beautiful and winsome, Betsy Zook never questioned her family’s rigid expectations, nor those of devoted Hans—but then she never had to. Not until the night she’s taken captive in a surprise Indian raid. Facing brutality and hardship, Betsy finds herself torn between her pious upbringing and the feelings she’s developing for a native man who encourages her to see God in all circumstances.

Greatly anguished by Betsy’s captivity, Hans turns to Tessa Bauer for comfort. She responds eagerly, overlooking troubling signs of Hans’s hunger for revenge. But if Betsy is ever restored to the Amish, will things between Hans and Tessa have gone too far?

Inspired by true events, this deeply layered novel gives a glimpse into the tumultuous days of prerevolutionary Pennsylvania through the eyes of two young, determined, and faith-filled women.

****Family Christian provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest and fair review. All opinions expressed here are my own.***

Order your copy here.

Anna Konig is not excited about the voyage to the New World. She doesn’t want to leave her grandparents, her home, and everything familiar, but as the only person in her small Amish church who speaks English, she feels it is her duty to accompany the group as translator. Her plans are to return home as soon as possible. Bairn is the Charming Nancy’s carpenter (third in charge after the captain and the first mate). He doesn’t know what to think of the Peculiars who are passengers on the ship. Why is he so drawn to young Anna? They have nothing in common. Or do they? Will Bairn discover the truth too late?

As a person who loves to read almost any type of fiction (contemporary, historical, suspense, romantic suspense, mystery, etc), the one genre I tend to steer clear of is Amish fiction. I am so glad I read this book. It was hard to put down when it was time for bed or time to go to work. I kept waiting for the main characters to figure out what I had already put together (and no, I’m not going to spoil it by telling you what that is right now). Anna is unsure of herself in a few areas but that doesn’t keep her from trying her best and caring for her people as well as others, even her enemies at times. Bairn has had a difficult past and readers will sympathize with his struggles as he comes to terms with the truth of who he is, where he’s from, and his relationship with God. Suzanne Woods Fisher’s descriptions put you right in the middle of life on the boat as the group makes their way from Germany to England and then on to America.
