The Waiting by Suzanne Woods Fisher

 77090629 Book 2 in The Lancaster Secrets collection and hot on the heals of the best-selling The Choice, The Waiting, a stand alone story, is a compelling page turner. Jorie King has been waiting for Benjamin Zook to return home to Lancaster County so they can marry. When news arrives that Ben has been killed, Jorie finds comfort in the friendship of his brother Caleb. That friendship ripens into love, and it seems that they are meant to be together. But when the unexpected happens, their worlds are turned upside down once more. Will Jorie trust God to lead her into the arms of a new man?

A multifaceted story about complex people living the simple life. Readers will find themselves transported into the world of the Amish and deeply invested in these wonderful characters.

SWF headshot2 Suzanne Woods Fisher is the CBA bestselling author of The Choice, The Waiting, Amish Peace, and Amish Proverbs. Her interest in the Anabaptist cultures can be directly traced to her grandfather, W. D. Benedict, who was raised in the Old Order German Baptist Brethren Church in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Benedict eventually became publisher of Christianity Today magazine. Suzanne is the host of a radio show called Amish Wisdom and her work has appeared in many magazines. She lives in California.

Heidi Says . . . I very much enjoyed this book.  As I said when I reviewed the first book in this series (The Choice) – I like the way Suzanne approaches Amish fiction.  Her books are not so weighed down with tradition (which I’m pretty pick about because I live in an area where we are surrounded by the Amish); but, rather, they tell a good story that is compelling and fun to read.  I appreciate that!

I would definitely recommend both The Choice and The Waiting (which both work fine as stand-alones), and I’ll anxiously await the release of Book 3 in the series – The Search

Hi Heidi!
I'm a little late getting to your blog...I was out of town helping my daughter last week with her new baby, and am at my publisher's right now. But I had a few minutes to spare and wanted to thank you for your review of "The Waiting." Thrilled you want to read more! "The Search" is coming in about 6-7 weeks!
Thanks for being a part of the tour, too.
Warmly, Suzanne Woods Fisher
