About the Book:
Join bestselling, award-winning author Suzanne Woods Fisher for an Amish Christmas to remember.
Billy Lapp is far away from his Amish roots working as a rose rustler for Penn State and wants nothing to do with Stoney Ridge. And that suits Bess Riehl just fine. Why should she think twice about a man who left without a word of explanation? It's time she moved on with her life, and that meant saying yes when Billy's cousin Amos proposed--for the third time--and beginning to plan for her Christmas wedding.
When a "lost" rose is discovered in a forgotten corner of the greenhouse at Rose Hill Farm, Billy is sent to track down its origins. His plan is to get in, identify the rose, and get out. The only catch is that he's having a hard time narrowing down the identity of the lost rose--and he can't get Bess Riehl out of his mind.
As the history of the lost rose is pieced together, it reminds Bess and Billy--and Amos too--that Christmas truly is the season of miracles.
My Thoughts:
“I marvel at all there
it to discover on earth. Just a hint of
what’s to come. An eternity of discoveries.” (p. 59)
At the point George makes this statement to Billy, a lot of
contention has already surfaced in Suzanne Woods Fisher novel, Christmas at Rose Hill Farm. A mysterious rose, found in the corner of
Bess Reil’s farm, causes Billy Lapp to reappear in the Amish community he left
behind years earlier. Things have
changed dramatically since he left, but time has a way of bringing the truth to
light.
As the mystery surrounding the rose unfolds, the history
between Bess and Billy also resurfaces.
Even though Bess in on the eve of marriage, she and Billy have some
unfinished business lingering between them.
Billy also has some family business that needs to be dealt with, but he
seems determined to push beyond both situations, identify the rose and retreat
back into the University environment he now calls home.
