Mending Fences
Every saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.
Luke Schrock is a new and improved man after a stint in rehab, though everyone in Stoney Ridge only remembers the old Luke. They might have forgiven him, but nobody trusts him.
Amos and Fern Lapp allow Luke to live at Windmill Farm under two conditions. First, Luke must make a sincere apology to each person he's hurt--a four-page, single-spaced list. Second, he must ask each victim of mischief to describe the damage he caused.
Simple, Luke thinks. Offering apologies is easy. But discovering the lasting effects his careless actions have caused . . . that isn't so simple. It's gut-wrenching.
And his list keeps growing. Izzy Miller, beautiful and frustratingly aloof, also boards at Windmill Farm. Luke's clumsy efforts to befriend Izzy only insult and annoy her. Eager to impress, Luke sets out to prove himself to her by locating her mother. When he does, her identity sends shock waves through Stoney Ridge.
Bestselling and award-winning author Suzanne Woods Fisher returns to her beloved Stoney Ridge for this brand-new series featuring some of her readers' favorite characters.
Mending Fences by Suzanne Woods Fisher is a non-stop, page turning book that is hard to put down. This book is full of twists and turns that I couldn't even imagine. I appreciate this story, especially the story of Izzy and her pursuit of wanting to know her birth mother.
This story also deals with a serious tone of addiction. While this book has serious moments and threads, it also has a light tone as well. Fisher is able to weave a balance in this book, which as a reader I can appreciate. This book is a great read. I just enjoyed this book, both the big and small moments of this story. It is a very unique read with great writing. Give this series a read! You will highly enjoy it!
