The Letters

Rose Shrock is living with her mother-in-law after her husband died mysteriously. Rose knows that her husband's business lost a lot of money for a lot of people, and she is determined to earn it and pay it back because these were brothers and sisters in Christ who hurt in the business folding.

She is raising her husband's two daughters and their two sons while trying to figure out how to restore the lost moneys. Bethany, the oldest daughter, is also working to help her step-mother. On a chance encounter at the "Bent and Dent" store, Rose finds a need within the Amish community that she could possibly fill--a bed and breakfast. With the help of her next door neighbor, she remodels her basement to hold two bedrooms, a sitting room with a kitchenette, and a bathroom. After the first the tourists wanting a place to stay go back home, they have a chance ecounter with a woman who needs to "get away" and have a place to rest and release. Through Rose's acquaintance with Delia Stoltz, she becomes more sure of herself and finds herself falling for her neighbor Galen.

While The Letters is the first book in a new series by Suzanne Woods Fisher, some characters carry over from the Stoney Ridge Seasons series. It is not necessary to have read this series in order to understand or know all the characters in this new Eagle Hill Series.

Suzanne writes a good romance with solid characters with real-world problems, she shows the good and bad in people--Amish and Englisch. Definitely a Five Star, Two Thumbs Up, and a night at the Bed and Breakfast.
