In her wildest dreams, spunky and impulsive nineteen-year-old
Mary Kate Lapp never imagined herself behind a schoolteacher's
desk. A run-in (literally) with the schoolteacher compels her to
act as a substitute teacher, just as her restless desire to see the
world compels her to apply for a passport . . . just in case. The
only thing of interest to M.K. in the sleepy Amish community of
Stoney Ridge is the unexplained death of a sheep farmer that
coincided with the arrival of a mysterious young man into the
community. Frustrated that no one takes the crime seriously, she
takes matters into her own hands. Unfortunately, as tends to be the
case for M.K., she jumps headlong into trouble.
Centered on one of Suzanne Woods Fisher's most loved characters,
this is the story fans have eagerly anticipated. The precocious
M.K. is all grown up (well, almost) and ready to take on the
world--with surprising results. Fisher's trademark plot twists and
turns are as unexpected and satisfying as ever in this third book
in the Stoney Ridge Seasons series.
Sometimes love shows up when you least expect
it.
Nineteen-year-old Mary Kate Lapp yearns for adventure, but all she

the arrival of a mysterious young man, M.K. is frustrated that no
one takes it seriously. She's determined to take matters into her

bargained for?
