Fifteen years later, when her car breaks down in Stoney Ridge—the very town in which that decision was made—she is forced to face the past and discover how her decision has impacted so many. Bess Reihl is less than thrilled to be spending the summer at Rose Hill Farm helping her intimidating grandmother Bertha recover from surgery. It doesn’t take long for Bess to realize that her grandmother coaxed her to Stoney Ridge for an entirely different reason. But once Bess meets hired hand Billy Lapp, the summer starts to hold some promise. Lainey’s and Bess’s worlds are about to collide, and the secrets that come to light will shock them both. The Search is a skillfully woven story that takes you through unexpected twists and turns on the long country road toward truth. Immerse yourself in this heartwarming—and surprising—tale of young love, forgiveness, and healing.

"Awesome book, it was the third in the series, but I didn't know it until the end. It made no difference that I read it out of order. It was a wonderful story line. It was a bit different from most of what I have read lately, but it was refreshing change. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to read the other ones in this series. I was familiar with the areas mentioned in the book and I found that pretty cool. Love the contrasts of the amish and english ways."

" I picked this up on a whim in a library and was pleasantly surprised. It was a little predictable, but well written for an easy and enjoyable read. I am looking forward to reading the other stories in this series. "
— Kim, 2/15/2014" I liked this better than the Waiting. "
— Lisa, 1/18/2014" library has print ver. "
— Linda, 12/21/2013" Again, this book could be a stand alone. It took place in 1970 whereas other books in the series took place in the '40's and in modern times. There is no overlap in characters or families so reading these books as stand alones or out of order is fine. "
— Lynnea, 11/28/2013" I cried, I don't usually cry when reading. "
— Jennifer, 7/25/2013" Like it, but not as good as other Suzanne Woods Fisher books I have read. "
— Donna, 12/13/2011" A nice book to read about the Amish; I enjoy Fisher's writing style. Since I've been to Lancaster County a couple of times and visited the home of some Amish (friends of my BIL), I could close my eyes and see the entire landscape of Rose Hill Farm. Definately an enjoyable trip to PA again. "
