Review: The Keeper

At twenty-one years old, Julia Lapp has her life all planned out.  She will marry Paul, her childhood sweetheart, and live happily ever after.  But when her becomes ill and Paul inexplicably postpones the wedding (again!), Julia is forced to face a future far different from anything that she has ever dreamed.

I refuse to call Suzanne Woods Fisher's The Keeper (Revell, 2012) an Amish book.  It's a heartwarming, funny contemporary romance with a fantastic cast of characters who just happen to be Amish.  And, it's a delightful read that I hated to see come to an end.  If you love a sweet romance, The Keeper is definitely for you.

It’s a “Honey of a Giveaway” from Suzanne Woods Fisher!

PS--I love to watch the guys scurry away from these reviews...like they think they might get estro-germs on them or something. The big eyes, the panic! LOL.

Chick Lit, G-Man? Hardly.

Not normally a reader of romances, I confess I'm intrigued by the Amish community after having watched several documentries about them so I may well seek this one out given that it features Amish characters.

Hi Kelli! I cracked up when I read that you refused to say this is an Amish fiction book. You go, girl! I heartily agree! Thank you for sharing my story with your many readers...giving it your special touch. Warmly, Suzanne

I want to know one thing...where can I get a bonnet to rock like the one worn on the cover? It's like, so vintage! ;)

Good review MZ. Judging the book by its cover, I would have thought "Luddites in Love" but you made it sound hip! That's a pretty nice giveaway too!
