A Season on the Wind

Written by Suzanne Woods Fisher

Narrated by Stephanie Cozart

Ben Zook was as free as a bird—until a chase for a rare White-winged Tern takes him to the one place on earth he planned to never return: his Amish home in Stoney Ridge.

Desperate for photographs of the elusive tern, Ben hires local field guide Micah Weaver, planning to “bag the bird” and leave Stoney Ridge before anyone recognizes him. But he neglected to plan for Micah’s sister, Penny.

Ben had become Penny’s spark bird during one long-ago summer, when she had introduced him to birding, even sharing with him a hidden eagle aerie. Penny always hoped Ben would come back to Stoney Ridge. Back to his Amish roots.

Back to her.

The only problem? Ben has absolutely no memory of Penny.

This was an absolutely, positively excellent book! I loved the descriptions of the birds throughout the book! One didn’t need to read the dialogue of the birds descriptions and other things at the beginning because it was so well described in the book. I enjoyed the reading very much!

I received this book as part of Librarything early reviewers. I have read a number of Amish books previously. Penny and her brother Micah have moved away from their parents to a farm that was their grandmother’s so that he can lead birders to spot rare birds. He has a gift for spotting birds.

One of his first customers is the renowned birder Ben Zook who is writing another bird book. Ben and Penny are attracted to each other.

The book had an interesting feature of bird sighting journal entries at the end of chapters. I haven’t run across this before. This was a charming, well-written book that I didn’t want to end.

This was a book that I did not want to end. I enjoyed every last moment of the story. "A Season on the Wind" begins with a little bird that is blown off course and spotted in a place not normally seen. This rare bird is spotted by Micah Weaver who lives on a farm in Pennsylvania that was inherited from his grandmother. Michah's sister, Penny, also lives on the farm. Their grandmother taught instilled in them a love of birds and now Micah has become somewhat well-known in the field of bird guiding. Ben Zook, who writes books about rare birds, soon hears about the rare Tern seen in the area. He makes a reservation for the Weaver's guesthouse and hires Micah to guide him. He convinces his newly divorced cousin Natalie to go with him for a change of scenery. Ben used to live in the area and was Amish but he doesn't want to advertise that. Penny Weaver knows Ben, but he doesn't seem to remember her. Filled with lots of information about birds, this story is interesting and unique. It is easy to get invested in the characters relationships. This is a lovely story of faith and romance where old wounds are healed and new bonds are forged. The unexpected twist to the story just adds to the delight. I loved it!

Ben grew up Amish, but left the community in his teens, became English, and is now a renowned expert on birds, traveling the world and writing books. He is back in Amish country, looking for one more elusive sighting for his latest book. Penny provides housing for Ben and his cousin and her brother Micah, also a bird fancier, acts as a guide for Ben. Secrets from the past as well as past tragedies and other problems haunt these characters. This novel is a well written tale of forgiveness and of acceptance of those things that cannot be changed. These people must deal with problems and make life-changing decisions. The author does a very good job of incorporating birding into her story, and gives interesting tidbits about birds at the beginning of the chapters. It’s a lovely story, gripping and sad at times and yet full of hope and promise.

Ben has the life of his dreams. He is able to follow his passions of writing and birding. He travels back to his hometown of Stoney Ridge to take pictures of a bird he needs for his book. He makes arrangements to get in and get out, but things do not go as planned. He stays with an old friend, but soon reconnects with another old friend. Penny knew Ben from a while back. She loves birds as much as he does, and has a fondness for Ben as well, as the meet back up The only problem is that she has to also remind him how they knew each other in the first place,I really enjoyed reading this book and learning their story.I received this book to read, the review is mine.

I loved this book. I am not an official birder by any stretch of the imagination, but I do enjoy watching birds come to feed at the bird feeders on my deck. So this story centered on birders caught my interest right from the start. In her book, A Season on the Wind, Suzane Woods Fisher has crafted a captivating story with realistic characters and themes of family, friendships, and forgiveness. The characters are people I would love to know in real life. They are flawed but are strong and deal with struggles that resonate with readers, the aftermath of divorce, depression, elderly parents. I liked how Penny had difficulty holding her tongue when she had things she thought should be said but knew it wasn't her place to say them. I enjoyed watching Penny and Ben's relationship change and grow throughout the story. The author expertly unwraps the past layer by layer and reminds the reader that God is at work in our lives to repair the broken and give us second chances. Readers who love contemporary Amish romance will not want to miss A Season on the Wind. I received a complimentary book through CelebrateLit. I was not required to write a positive review, and the opinions are my own. This review is part of the Celebrate Lit tour for A Season on the Wind.

Enjoyable, informative, and oh, so heartwarming! These are just a few of my thoughts about this new book by Suzanne Woods Fisher! A Season on the Wind is the story of a man who had been raised Amish, left the community with intentions to never return, and then finds himself back in Stoney Ridge, Pennsylvania, trying to photograph a rare bird. There he meets an Amish brother and sister who also love birds, and Ben Zook may have his dream come true!This is a captivating book that satisfied my love for romance and impressed upon me the joys that come from truly observing God's creation. I highly recommend this book to all who enjoy Amish fiction and Christian romance. You won't be disappointed! I accepted this book from the publisher as part of Revell Reads. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.

Suzanne Woods Fisher has long been a must-read author. I love her Amish fiction, especially, as it captures a community of deep faith. The stories always strike me as real, with characters, situations, and issues that are common to all. Her newest book, A Season on The Wind returns the reader and one of the characters to Stoney Ridge. A few favorite characters make their appearance, but the story is centered on newcomers Penny, Micah, Natalie, and one who finds his way home, Ben. The story begins with Ben, a renowned author and birder who is searching for a vagrant bird — a bird who definitely does not belong in Pennsylvania, having been blown off-course in its migration. I think that is one of the themes of this book. More than a few characters are looking for a place to really belong, having wandered far from family and faith. As always Fisher writes with a grace-filled hand. The message is woven gently and deliberately, but never preachy. A bit of humor and a bit of poignancy also fills the pages, making this book, at least for this reader, a joyful reading experience. And I learned a lot about birds too!A visit to the Amish community of Stoney Ridge is always a welcome departure from the hustle and bustle of real life. I thoroughly enjoyed the excursion!Recommended.Audience: adults.(Thanks to Revell and Celebrate Lit for a complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)

This was one of my favorite books that I have read this year. I always love books by this author but this one was one of my favorites. I loved Ben and Penny and Micah. I loved all of the twists and turns that Penny and Ben have in their friendship. If you like birds even just a little than this book will lead you to want to know even more about them. This is a book of friendship and some romance. I received a copy of this book from Revell for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

This story is much more than just an Amish story filled with family, relationships and faith. I was pleasantly surprised to read that this beautiful story highlights birds. There is nothing more serene that watching a bird soar in the air, or perch on a branch in all their regal glory. God’s creation is seen in the different brilliance of colors and types of birds. I appreciate the very in-depth information about different birds. There were quite a few that I have not heard of but now I want to buy a book about birds and do sone bird watching myself. One of the things I liked about the book was how the author gives us a realistic look at the Amish. They are Plain people who definitely don’t like to draw attention to theirselves. I didn’t realize that drawing or painting was considered prideful. One character in the book begins to like the simple lifestyle the Amish have and says that “they seem to have such a gentle faith.” If only we all had that gentle spirit within us, we would be happy and content. Penny was this sweet woman who had the biggest heart for others. She was excited to see an old friend again but something was off with Ben. Why is he acting like he doesn’t know her? That was going to be intriguing to find out and I knew this book must be read in one sitting. Nothing was going to get in my way of joining Penny, Micah, Ben and his cousin Natalie on their adventure. Ben may be there to see this mysterious elusive bird he has heard about, but I know there was something he was holding back. I wonder if he knows that Penny is caring for his father by bringing him meals and cleaning for him? It was a treat to read the notes between chapters about the different birds that had been spotted. It was very detailed and I enjoyed getting more familiar with each species. Micah is very thorough with his entries in the journal and I loved how smart he was about birds so much that people sought him out to give then guided tours to find specific birds. He seems to come out of his shell when talking about birds and gives him confidence in himself. When the story comes to the part about Ben’s past, I began to cry. Such a tragedy that Ben witnessed during a time when he and his brother were so close. I will warn readers that there is mention of suicide and depression in this section of the story that may trigger some. It is not very detailed but has a powerful lesson about forgiveness. Now I understand the distance between Ben and his father. Will Ben be able to talk to his father before it is to late? Penny gives Ben sound advice when she tells him, “Forgiving your father will set you free as well.”At the end of the book the author has a section where there are questions that can be used in a book club or for personal use. She points out about the different themes in the book. I now understand the significance of what the birds in the story represent and . The author allows us to see one character choose to forgive while another recognized the choices they have made in their life kept being repeated. Through it all I walked away with learning to find happiness, forgive and reconcile with those you have turned your back on. This book is going on my list of all time favorites for 2021.I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

A Season on the Wind by Suzanne Woods Fisher is a lovely Amish novel. We get to return to Stoney Ridge, Pennsylvania where it is almost time for the Christmas Bird Count. Micah Weaver, who is an avid birder, reports a rare White-winged Tern in the area. Author and birder, Ben Zook wants to get a picture of the bird for his latest book. His cousin, Natalie Crowell comes along with him because she needs a change after the end of her marriage and the betrayal she experienced. They are staying in the guesthouse on Lost Creek Farm managed by Penny. Penny cannot believe that Ben has returned after twenty years. She gave her heart to him when she was twelve and Penny has been waiting for his return. Unfortunately, Ben has no memory of Penny or the time they spent together one long ago summer. I enjoyed reading A Season on the Wind. It is a sweet story that draws you in and holds you until the end. I stayed up late trying to finish it. I like the characters in this story. They are well-crafted so they are realistic and relatable. We get to follow Penny, Ben, Micah, and Natalie. I like getting to see each of their perspectives. The story is filled with fascinating information about birds. I learned quite a bit about birds and the count that occurs each year at Christmas. This story makes you think about the beauty God created for us. He provided us with these beautiful birds. I like how the author handled a speech disability and Alzheimer’s. The author handled them with dignity. There is also humor in the story courtesy of Hank Lapp. He is quite a character. You can always count on him to lighten up a situation. My favorite phrase from the book is, “Every day was a new day, . . .so yesterday really shouldn’t matter. Even better, there was no point in worrying about the future.” A Season on the Wind has romance, old wounds, new relationships, deep faith, and a stray bird. A Season on the Wind was a special and unique Amish tale.

Wow! A fiction book with birding as its subject matter!! I am a fan!! Suzanne Woods Fisher pens a most engaging tale of Amish and Englischers hunting both birds and fulfillment in A Season on the Wind. I loved this book on so many levels.First, it starts with descriptions of birds. It was so hard to not look up the birds’ pictures in my phone app as I went. Each chapter includes a page out of Micah's bird diary about a different bird: its plumage, nesting and mating habits, and habitat.Second, personalities and relationships are complex. Nothing is as simple as it seems it should be. Because the novel is written in a non-linear way, we slowly discover the motivations behind Ben’s attitude and life. We also slowly see what makes his cousin Natalie tick. I love the way Fisher surprised me more than once with twists well-placed that make perfect sense, yet I hadn’t seen them coming.Third, a return to some of the characters of Stoney Ridge. The more Amish stories I read, the more I love and respect David Stoltzfus, Bishop of Stoney Ridge. “He was a true Spirit-led leader. Just the right combination of depending on the word of God in Scripture, and the word of God in hearts.” Such wisdom and care for his flock. Then there’s Hank and Edith. This unlikely couple adds so much color and sometimes confusion to their community.Fourth, I love that Fisher is careful to point out that while the Amish life seems peaceful, it has its share of troubles and heartaches. It’s not their lifestyle that is the panacea for troubles. As Boyd says, it's about what’s on the inside, not the outer trappings. “Wherever God puts us, he wants us in relationship with him. That’s for everyone, wherever they are. Amish or Englisch or any other label.”A beautifully complex novel, presenting pain, fear, romance, faith, and ultimately, forgiveness. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit via Net Galley. I was not required to leave a positive review, and all opinions are my own.

I always enjoy Suzanne Woods Fisher's books, but she hit a home run with this one for me. Not only does she relate the story of Ben Zook's return to Stoney Ridge, but she also includes entries from Micah Weaver's Bird-Watching log at the end of each chapter. Although Micah does not exist in real life, his bird facts are straight-on. Anyone remotely interested in bird watching should enjoy this book. Penny Weaver, Micah's sister, met Ben Zook years ago when she spent the summer at her grandmother's home in Stoney Ridge. Now, Penny has moved back to Stoney Ridge to run a guest house while her brother, Micah, acts as a guide for bird watchers. Ben Zook left the Amish fold long ago, but has returned to Stoney Ridge to search for an elusive bird while hoping to hide from his father, Zeke, who still lives there. And, the story unfolds from there. It's a delightful read that features some familiar characters from earlier books, such as Bishop David Stoltzfus. Another winner from author Fisher.

Penny Weaver never thought to see Ben Zook again once he left their Amish village. But there he suddenly was, on her doorstep and planning to rent a room in her barn while he searched for the elusively rare White-winged tern. Ben was the love of Penny's life and it broke her heart when he left so suddenly - so why does he act like he does not even know or recognize her? As the chase for the rare bird attracts the attention of the entire town, can Penny solve the mystery of Ben's loss of memory and rekindle their feelings? This was a very good book and I loved learning about all of the birds as an added bonus. A great little plot twist at the end!

A Season on the Wind is a wonderful Amish fiction story by Suzanne Woods Fisher. This is a heartwarming story of Micah’s family allowing him and his sister Penny move to care for their deceased grandmother’s home in a different Amish community, which also allows him to be a field guide. It also is a story of Ben who left his family and community and has not returned until now, to have Micah show him a rare bird. I appreciate the realistic concerns that Penny has for Ben’s aging father, her brother and their home.This story has several great lessons running through it. Micah struggles with doing what is right and Ben struggles with putting his past behind him. This story also contains information about many birds that Micah sees. This was fun to read as well.I received a complimentary copy of this story, this is my honest review.

I requested and was granted, a book to read and review. This review is my own, honest opinion.This book is set in an Amish community and the main characters are both Amish and non-Amish. The story flows well and kept my interest throughout.It had a bit of mystery and some romance. The one thing I really was disappointed in was the prologue as I felt more could have been said about Natalie though I guess her part mainly ended at the end of the book. Other than that I was glad to read this book. The editing was very well done and the main characters were nicely developed.I also enjoyed that some of the people in her previous Amish books made an appearance in this book too.I give this book a 4 out of 5-star rating. This does not mean it's not great, but I save 5 stars for the truly excellent books, rarely given by me as truly great books are rare.

I really enjoyed this inspirational Amish romance because it discussed the dynamics of strict orders versus more lenient and forgiving sects. It also had Englischers (non-Amish) as an integral part of the story as well as birding - two things we don't always see a lot of. Ben Zook fled the Amish way of life years ago and vowed never to return. But when a rare bird stops in Stoney Ridge he can't stay away - it would be perfect in his latest book on rare birds. He convinces his cousin to come with him because she needs a change of scenery as she copes from the mess her life is in. They rent a guest house on the property of Penny and Micah two kind hearted Amish siblings. Micah is an eighteen year old birding prodigy and Penny is a 35 year old woman looking after the homestead and her baby brother. When she sees Ben Zook she is stunned speechless - she hadn't seen him since she was 12. She is convinced that God sent him here for a reason. Unfortunately Ben doesn't seem to recognize her at all. Filled with blossoming romance, birding, and coming back to God. This inspirational romance is heartfelt and fluffy.

My uncle was a passionate bird watcher all his life. He traveled the world to observe different birds and at one time had been only one of five in the world to have seen a particular species. In his later years he even volunteered for the Audubon Society giving classes for children. Don’t get me wrong. I love nature and birds, but I would never quite grasp his obsession and excitement for the hobby. until reading this book. Penny Weaver and her brother Micah have moved to a new Amish community to live in her deceased grandmother’s home. Their transition was forced by the fact their former bishop was opposed to Micah’s budding career as bird guide. At only 18 he was fast becoming well known for incredible skills to find scarce birds. Ben Zook was a world famous writer and bird photographer that was raised in this Amish community. He hires Micah after a very rare species is spotted in the area. He and his cousin Natalie (who has zero interest in his interest) stay at the Weaver’s guest house. He is forced to face painful secrets buried deep in this heart all these years. Penny is overwhelmed to see Ben after 20 years. After meeting him as a young girl she still cherishes the short time they knew each other and continues to have a crush on him. Has God brought him back to her after all these years? Be ready for lots of surprises!Each character goes on their own special journey and healing in areas they would have never imagined. I enjoyed the descriptions of Penny’s home life. It was easy to imagine sitting in her cozy home drinking tea and eating some of her delicious cooking. I could feel the relaxation and contentment. At the end of every chapter is an excerpt from Micah’s bird-watching log about a different species. In the beginning I ashamedly thought “boring”, but I was hooked after the first one. They are fascinating! I learned so much about birds I was familiar with and new ones too. His accounts of their personalities and often humorous antidotes were wonderful! Now I see why my uncle was so avid in his pursuits. A wonderful book!

This author is one of my favorite authors of Amish fiction because she weaves tales so well that respectfully integrate the Amish culture into the story while simultaneously crafting unforgettable characters. This particular novel is so unique in its topic of bird watching. I felt like I learned so much! The pacing is a little slower than some novels, but I think this matches the simple life of the Amish and really allows the reader to get to know the characters and the setting. The themes of faith, trust, friendship, and forgiveness are well woven into the story and the spiritual truths did not feel overwhelming or preachy. I enjoyed this book and recommend it even to those who are (like I once was) hesitant about trying Amish fiction. I think you will like this author!I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell Publishing. Opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed another visit to Stoney Ridge! Having read all of Suzanne Woods Fisher's books so far, I knew I enjoy this book, too! And I wasn't disappointed. Life is never simple...there are always choices we face, and a big one in the Amish world is whether to join the church or leave it. It has a profound effect on ones life, and even when one chooses to leave, their Amish roots run deep. This was a good story... I enjoyed the details about the birds, and the birdwatching log was a bonus! Fisher's books are all character driven...and she creates great stories and personable characters, and of course there is romance. As with her other books, I neglect my chores awhile because I can't put the books down, and then when I fly through it, I'm disappointed it's over. But I think we can depend on Fisher to take us back to Stoney Ridge again....I'm counting on it!

I loved this book, what a great book of acceptance of the differences in people, and being able to move on in a different community.Now I'll admit that I am a birder, and yes, I've seen most of the birds mentioned, except for that Tern! Of course, most I've seen in their abundant locations.Loving and accepting a person for whom they are, yes, they had to move, but not far, and we get to see them blossom. Others are still searching when they arrive, and yet, not really realizing what they are looking for, but God knows. We see the part of the Amish faith and Christian faith, that is hard but necessary, forgiveness, and we see how this plays out.A read you don't want to miss!I received this book though Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.

Although he has mixed feelings, Ben Zook returns to his Amish childhood home of Stony Ridge in search of a rare bird to include in his next book on birding. He hopes to fly under the radar and leave as soon as he gets pictures of the rare bird but he soon realizes that God has other plans. Penny Weaver is thrilled that Ben is back – she has had a crush on him since she met him when she was twelve and visiting her grandmother for the summer. To her dismay, Ben doesn’t seem to recognize her but she too thinks God has other plans and decides to wait and see what happens. But will she wait too long?“A Season on the Wind” is a very nicely done Amish romance by Suzanne Woods Fisher. I admit that at the beginning I wasn’t quite sure if I would like this book as I am not an avid birder but I soon became wrapped up in the story and to my surprise Micah Weaver’s Birdwatching Log at the end of each chapter became one of my favorite parts of the book! Fisher takes her time with the romance between Penny and Ben and it is ultimately well done – both are well-developed characters but of the two I had a soft for Ben, especially as his background was slowly revealed. The other main romance in the book between Natalie and Boyd is also well done although it is hard to like Natalie at times during the course of the book. And then there is my favorite character in the book – Micah with is incredible talents for spotting rare birds, his stutter, and is ill-advised crush on Shelley Yoder. In many ways, he is as complex a character as Ben is. All of this adds up to a very well done book and in the end I was sorry to have to leave Stony Ridge and these characters. “A Season on the Wind” is a nicely done Amish romance.

Penny Weaver moved along with her brother Micah from a stricter Amish community to their grandmother's former farmer in Stoney Ridge so Micah could pursue his passion to be a bird guide. Penny visited her grandmother many years ago and remembers Ben Zook from her time there. Ben, who left his father's household after his brother's death, now photographs birds and becomes the first guest in their new guesthouse when he hears about a visit from a rare bird to the community. Penny owns all his books. She secretly creates watercolors of birds. Ben's non-Amish cousin Natalie comes along to the guesthouse. Her husband left her; her business failed; and she needs to find direction. Each chapter ends with an excerpt from Micah's bird-watching log. I wish the author had included "Penny's sketches" of the birds as well. This one is a little "light" on the Amish element, but birders will enjoy it. I received an advance reader's copy through LibraryThing's Early Reviewer program in exchange for an honest review.

For years I stopped reading Books about the Amish because I read so many of them in the Christian genre. But I loved this story, great characters, real life problems, and birds. Also art and a mystery; all pluses. Definitely recommend and add that it would be a good fall read or Christmas.

I absolutely loved this advanced copy story. I received it for free and I voluntarily chose to review it. I've given it a 5* rating. Not only did it have some romance in it, it had a lot in it to excite bird watchers. I loved the references to different birds and some of their traits. We love to watch birds in our area, as we are nestled between two hills, with a stream running through it. Not only was it a clean romance, it had a lot of feels in it. This Amish/Englisher romance hit a lot of my buttons, it also has a great ending, This book comes out in October 2021.

5 Stars, Tragedy can be overcomeA SEASON ON THE WIND by Suzanne Woods FisherBen Zook has had many tragedies in his life, he was born into an Amish family, but because of a tragedy, he left his home, to become a world-renowned birder. He writes books and travels to new places for the chance to photograph and see unique birds who are travelers that have lost their way, ending up in unusual places. The bird alert has mentioned a rare White-Winged Tern that has been spotted in Stoney Ridge, Pennsylvania.Penny and Micah Weaver are Amish, adult siblings who manage their grandmother's Lost Creek Farm. They both have a deep love of nature and birding. Micah is an expert field guide who helps other birders see what the area has to offer in bird sightings. Ben ends up at Lost Creek Farm and has paused his most recent book manuscript, for a photograph and the report on the White-Winged Tern. He has hired Micah to guide him to the elusive bird.The novel is about birds, birding, and the Amish lifestyle. There is a Cast of Characters page and also a Birder's Glossary to help understand who's who. Interspersed throughout the book, there is Micah's Bird Watching Logs, which help you learn a little more about each bird that he has seen and what makes that particular bird unique. This is an inspirational novel, thankfully, there is nothing offensive in it, so you, like myself, can expect a nice, clean tome that will be enjoyed by reading again and again. Who knows, you may learn something new about birds, like LBJs or CBC.Much gratitude to #revell @revell @bakerpublishinggroup @librarything #librarything for the complimentary copy of #aseasononthewind by @suzannewoodsfisher @suzannewfisher I was under no obligation to post a review.
