The Letters

This was a delightful story, one I ll listen to again The narrator was excellent Rose was an amazing person Her children and Vera her Mother in Law are endearing It was refreshing to hear the romance blossom between Gaylen and Rose Mrs Fisher adds such richness and depth to her stories that the readers actually come to know the characters as friends I just love reading these books.

Wow Such a plain simple life and yet filled with enough trouble and stress to knock any Englisher over I believe Ms Fisher nailed it in this book Amish plain life isn t so because troubles and worry keep their distance from them, their life is plain because they in all things simply look up to God and around for true friendships not all the money, career, style and the like complications to fulfill their needs and heal their hurts hope it came out right The description of Eagle Hill, the warm fr [...]

Well, Suzanne Woods Fisher has done it yet again She is one of my favorite Amish authors, and indeed this book did not disappoint It has everything that readers have come to know and love in great Amish fiction 1 A look into the daily lives of the Amish2 The Old Ways versus the New Ways3 Great romance that is clean 4 A deep seated faith in GodThese elements are the things I so appreciate about this author and her writings I love the Stoney Ridge series, and this takes that to an entirely new lev [...]

I felt extremely lost when I started this book There were so many characters and they weren t introduced very well that I thought I had somehow misread and this was a sequel So it was a struggle to get into the story.Once I finally worked out who was who it got a little better, but there was a lot of repetitive thoughts and comments that I personally found boring.I loved how the story was focused on a widow who s in her thirties and her family mother in law, step children, and her own children S [...]

This story feels like coming home after a long time away It felt wonderful to see characters from Suzanne s previous works in this story I felt like I was there in the new Inn at Eagle Hill as I read What a wonderful retreat of rest and refreshing I know that I have certainly felt the need to run away and leave the hurts of this world behind and what better place to do this than an Amish home in Stoney Ridge I think I will give a call to the phone shack and make my own reservation with Rose What [...]

I have read this on the kindleIt was a good book enjoyed reading it, the beginning few chapters took a bit to follow as it changed from one person to another also felt the ending could have been better so you knew what happen with a couple of the people won t say so i don t spoil it for anyone I guess it could be that there will be books then it could tidy up things better overall it a good book just couldn t give it 5 stars because i want to know what happen to happen to a couple of the peopl [...]

Amish fiction has a special place in my heart And Suzanne Woods Fisher is one of the authors I look for when I want to read a book in this genre The Letters is the first book in her new series entitled The Inn At Eagle Hill It takes place in Stoney Ridge Pennsylvania, which is also the setting of her other series, Stoney Ridge Seasons I absolutely loved this series, and was thrilled to return to this quaint community once again.The Letters centers around the story of the Schrock family Her husba [...]

I am amazed at Susanne s insightful writings of the Amish way of life Bringing a lifestyle hundreds of years old into the modern world can not be easyd though she would be the first to admit that there are many interests we have the same as they do the fundamentals of cooking and baking, sewing and other handwork, gardening and so on, many of the things we take for granted are totally foreign to the Amish way of life Through their contact with tourists in their towns, stores and businesses they [...]

This book was just ok to me For a title like The Letters, I was expecting letters This book was about Rose and her family with a few neighbors thrown in.I am a huge fan of Suzanne and this book just did not do it for me It did not hold my interst nor do I learn to care about the characters.

Loved it

I couldn t put The Letters down I love the story that Fisher has crafted It s full of love, loss, and new beginnings I ve never heard of an Amish family running a bed and breakfast, but the premise of what might cause this type of intense interaction with the outside world is fascinating I appreciated Rose s positive outlook in the face of extreme disappointment That is a true gift, and she shared it not only with her family, but with others that she encountered Her wish to have her inn be a ble [...]

I was absolutely excited to return to Stoney Ridge to become acquainted with a new host of characters as I picked up my copy of The Letters , and I m happy to report that the novel was all I hoped for I was first introduced to Fisher s books in The Keeper , the first book in the Stoney Ridge Seasons series, and since then I haven t been able to get enough of the stories that emerge from her talented pen The characters that star in The Letters are wonderful indeed, and I loved meeting Rose Schroc [...]

I am a big fan of Amish fiction I find it fascinating that this group of people can be so committed to their faith that they pledge to live without many of our modern conveniences or intrusions I cannot fathom having this level of faith in my religion so I feel somewhat look to the Amish people to gather some strength and commitment to my own faith.I did enjoy this story I did find it a bit confusing as I tried to figure out which children were Rose s biologically I felt like I was missing half [...]

Suzanne Woods Fisher possesses something no one else has her voice That certain Suzanne voice that defies description and when I ve tried I ve mangled it And the narrator of this book does a superb job of capturing the Suzanneness that I love You re introduced to a household of characters and some from nearby and some from out of the area But even with all the cast of characters each one has his or her own voice and unique traits Even if the listener doesn t agree with the choice the doctor s wi [...]

This is the first novel in another series by Suzanne Woods Fisher I actually read The Bishop s Family series before this one, but this series takes place BEFORE the events in The Bishop s Family case you like to read books in order However, although I read the series out of order, I didn t have a problem All the author s books could be read on their own because she does a great job tying past events into her current novels.That said, this was an excellent story of a young widow struggling with m [...]

Having never read a book by this author before, I thought I would see how Suzanne Woods Fisher s portrayal of Amish life would suit my fancy and I have to say, it was a page turner In The Letters, it tells the start of a series having to do with Rose Schrock and her family It had elements of suspense as well as romance, and the Amish faith tied it all together for a satisfying ending that showed true character growth on all fronts.In The Letters, you can see how Rose Schrock has so much going on [...]
