    This was a great story about the Lapp family and life with it's ups and downs. This family had already dealt with tragedy in the loss of a mother but they were able to carry on even when faced with other family health problems. The characters were varied and most interesting. I especially resonated with the talk of a possible transplant as we have faced similiar issues. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend any books by Suzanne Woods Fisher.

    This book had my attention, and kept it, from the first page. It was a perfect blend of humor, romance, and touching moments. I fell in love with all of the characters and I didn't want the book to end! This is one of the few books that made me cry. A truly inspirational read, I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

    Suzanne Woods Fisher is excellent author. The Keeper is excellent book and I look forward to other two books she is writing. I just couldn't put this book down. I felt like I was part of Lapp family.

    Suzanne Woods Fisher has done it again. This book is a keeper. So are the bee keeper and the family.

    Several of these people need a heart makeover, but will it actually happen? Some of them are too busy protecting their heart.

    You'll find a whole range of emotions in this book. You might as well have that box of tissues at your side while you're reading this book. If you have a heart, dear reader, you'll be downright sobbing before you reach the end of this story.

    Julia, Sadie, Mary Kate (M.K.), and Menno Lapp are pulling together to do as much work as they possibly can since their father, Amos, is sick with a bad heart and probably won't be alive much longer. Their mom passed away a few years earlier, which meant that Sadie took over the kitchen duties while Julia helped hold the household together with the outside chores. Menno is a special child who needs direction. No one really knows what is wrong with him, but it is suspected that something happened to him at birth. M.K. is a highly enthusiastic girl that goes full speed into everything she does and has some tricks up her sleeves. Uncle Hank lives on the Windmill Farm with the Lapps but he is a different breed, or so everyone thinks. He makes life interesting, but has a hard time focusing on doing the things that need to get done. Uncle Hank writes for The Budget, which Fern happens to read. She heard about how the family was needing lots of help around the farm, so she offered to come stay and help. Fern was a blessing in disguise, despite the objections the Lapps had to her coming.

    Once spring came, the Bee Man, Roman Troyer (Rome) showed up and decided that the farm needed lots of help and so did Amos. After having roamed for 6 years, Fern opens up a small house for him to stay in. Rome and Fern have a connection from Ohio that Rome is trying to stay away from facing. Rome did Julia's to-do list and then some while he was living on the farm, all without Julia ever acting like she noticed his good looks. Oh, did I mention that Roman played a part in Julia's postponement of a wedding to Paul? Twice. Each time when the Bee Man came into town. Julia is downright mad at Roman for the breaking of her engagement. However, through a series of events, they are able to at least become friends. Or will they become more than that? Will Amos decide to have a heart transplant to save his life? Will Roman stay or will he continue on with his roamin' ways? How did Fern and Roman meet? Why is Roman always wondering? And you think I'm going to tell you?!

    This book had me laughing, smiling, and crying. I never predicted the ending. Some may have, but I found myself crying at the ending because I was in shock. Suzanne had me tied to her book for 2 straight days. Any spare moment that I had, I had her book in my hand. It is Amish fiction, but it's also a love story and a story of hope and all entwined into one.

    Being the first book in the Stoney Ridge Seasons book, I can't wait to read the second. I do hope she mentions what happens to Julia and Rome in her next book!
