Publisher's Description
Leaving Stoney Ridge feels unbearable--but how can she stay? Impulsive Lydie Stoltzfus has always felt like a disappointment--a square peg in a round hole in her quiet Amish community. Leaving her family and church seems like her best move, even though it would mean leaving Nathan Yoder behind. Nathan claims he's in love with her, but she knows she's not good enough for him. And if she is ever in doubt, Nathan's father reminds her frequently. Knowing Lydie is "between" jobs again, the local doctor asks her to fill in at the front desk for a few months. This gives Lydie time to figure out how she's going to say goodbye to Nathan--and it gives Dok ample time to recognize the symptoms of a disorder rare among the Amish. She offers Lydie treatment that has the potential to change her life. But will it be enough to make her stay? Or has help come too late?"Readers will be won over by the delightful leads, and the nuanced treatment of Lydie's ADHD and crisis of faith brings depth to the narrative. This is another winner from Fisher."--Publishers Weekly

“A Season on the Wind is a compelling read, an enjoyable volume that entertains on a quiet evening, or under a shade tree on a warm spring afternoon. Suzanne Woods Fisher calls our attention to the lives of bird-watchers and birds, both rare and common, that grace the pastoral hills of Pennsylvania. An endearing visit with our Amish friends, with a side order of birds and human nature.”
“What a delight Suzanne Woods Fisher’s latest novel is! A Season on the Wind is multifaceted and thoroughly enchanting. By the time I finished the first chapter, I was cheering on each of the central characters, was invested in their goals and secrets, and was anxiously turning pages to see what happened next. I’ve always loved Suzanne’s distinct, relatable voice. She has a gift for enabling readers to feel like they’re part of the story—so much so that they don’t want to leave the world she’s created. A Season on the Wind is everything a novel should be—engaging, heartfelt, bold, and charming.”
“Shelley Shepard Gray, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author “Sparks fly in a lively tale about the Audubon Christmas Bird Count in Amish country. A Season on the Wind overflows with warmth and conflict, laced with humor, and the possibility of rekindled love.”
