I have read most books by this author and all in this series. I have and will continue to enjoy the Stoney Ridge series. I enjoy the fact there are so many recurring characters in the books, so we know what to expect from their personalities.

This is the second book about birding in this series. It is a topic unusual for an Amish book, but I am enjoying it. The birding takes place mostly in Pennsylvania where I live so I am familiar with the birds. Another thing I enjoy about the books is how realistic they are.

The author is not afraid to show weakness and fear, a sense of uncertainty and a vulnerableness to the characters. She also shows remarkable strength as they lean on God to get them through. An inspirational feel-good book that has subtle lessons, but they are not condescending.

God shows us that through him what we are looking for may be right in front of us and what we already have. This book is such a blessing to have read. It is such an encouragement. I received a complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

I enjoyed this book!
This was an Amish read, but it was a different kind of Amish read… It’s dove into mental illness, which is something I’m not really seen in this genre
The story was great
The bird updates are even better!

What an appropriate title for this read, and although it does deal with a tough subject, I loved how it was finally dealt with.

Enjoyed how everything worked out to go to Tennessee, so many happenings really to make it happen, but you will still wonder if this is going to be the Old Order Amish's new community?

There are some sad events, and there are some of aren't able to see what is right in front of them, at least not until it may be to late.

I loved the bird updates at the end of each chapter, and have noticed in my own yard the changes, and the loss. Haven't see a Bobolink or Meadow Lark in years, and they used to be common. On the other hand have Grackles everyday, sometimes they are a bit to heavy for my small feeder!

I am hoping that there are more books in this series, I really enjoyed this read!
