The Quieting by Suzanne Woods Fisher
Expertly written, entertaining story about several Amish people in a community called Stoney Ridge.
The characters are well-developed, and easy to become enmeshed with. Abigail was my favorite, she's
blunt, intelligent, more or less introverted, and she has taken over the geneological research from her
father, who seems to suffer from depression. David Stoltzfus, Abigail's uncle, is a widowed minister, with several children,
who recently moved
his family to Stoney Ridge, to become an assistant minister to their church. His mother has paid them all a visit
because she likes to be matchmaker, and believes she knows better than David whom he should marry.
There's also Freeman Glick, pastor of the church, and his family, and their stories are all captivating, too.
This is a well-written book, hard to put down, and has a strong theme of faith in God working everything out.
Suzanne's writing style, as usual, keeps the reader engaged throughout, even to the end of the book. There are no
lags, no boring parts, all of the story is fluid, with great progression.
A clean Christian fiction book, I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys Christian Amish fiction. This is book 2 in the series, but
I didn't need to read book one. The story is quite pleasant and also informative, as it touches on OCD, and autism. Enjoy!
