book review: "the search" by suzanne woods fisher

Bess Reihl goes to Rose Hill Farm to spend the summer with her grandmother, Bertha. Her father is hesitant to send his daughter because of his strained relationship with his mother but Bertha claims to need Bess’ help while recovering from “female surgery.” The surgery turns out to be a having a tooth pulled but Bertha had an ulterior motive for wanting Bess to come for a visit.

Lainey O’Toole has decided what she wants to do with her life: go to culinary school. After saving her money she has enough for tuition but when her car breaks down in Stoney Ridge, she must put her plans on hold. She takes a job at The Sweet Tooth to make some money in order to fix her car and get back to her plans. But the longer she stays, the stronger the pull for her to join the Amish community she’s found herself standing on the edge of. Can she finally find where she belongs?

Suzanne did a great job in blending Bess and Lainey’s stories. I think my favorite character would be Bertha – I loved her honesty and the fact that deep down, she was very sweet and trying to take care of those she loved. There were several unexpected twists to keep the story interesting and I like the ending. It seemed fitting and I wouldn’t be surprised for Bess and Lainey’s story to continue in a fourth book in the Lancaster County Secrets series.
