"The Lesson," by Suzanne Woods Fisher

Sometimes love shows up when you least expect it.

Nineteen-year-old Mary Kate Lapp yearns for adventure, but all she seems to find is trouble. Her dreams of travel have taken a backseat to her assignment to teach school this year. And nothing ever seems to happen in her sleepy Amish community.

But when a sudden and unexplained death conveniently coincides with the arrival of a mysterious young man, M.K. is frustrated that no one takes it seriously. She’s determined to take matters into her own hands and get to the bottom of it. Will she find more than she bargained for?

Centered on one of bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher’s most loved characters, this is the Stoney Ridge story you have been waiting for. With a surprise at every turn, a gentle romance, and a shocking answer to an old family mystery, The Lesson is the dramatic conclusion to the Stoney Ridge Seasons series.

This book was really good, other than one thing, and that was the way it ended.  As it says above it's the last in the Stoney Ridge Series, but the way it ended there was still so much to say.  I do hope that Suzanne does indeed decide to write more, especially about Mary Kate, as she is a character, where I feel there is much more to tell.

This series of books are a must to read, and well worth reading.

Stars out of 5 : 4.5 It would have been a 5 out of 5 but for the ending.  It's an easy read, a fun story with enough happening in it to make you want to turn the page to see what is going to happen next.
