A season on the wind

A season on the wind

Suzanne Woods Fisher

eBook - 2021

Ben Zook had only two loves in his life: books and birds. In a stroke of good fortune, he'd stumbled onto a way to cobble together those two loves into a career, writing books about rare birds. He 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 a local field guide, Micah Weaver, and boards at Micah's farm, planning to "bag the bird" and leave Stoney Ridge before anyone recognizes him. But he neglected to plan for Micah's sister, Penny. One long-ago summer, Penny had introduced Ben to birding, even sharing with him a hidden eagle aerie. That eagle be...came his spark bird-the one that inspired his lifelong love. Ben. He was Penny's spark bird. That was when she knew true love. She'd 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. Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher welcomes her readers to the Amish community at Stoney Ridge in this engaging story of discovering just who the rare birds are in life.

Review by Booklist Review

Renowned rare bird photographer and best-selling author Ben Zook's next book depends on an elusive bird seen in the Amish community of Stoney Ridge, Pennsylvania, and he will do anything to get a photo of it. But this may mean returning to the Amish home he abandoned decades ago. While Ben prefers to forget his painful past, Penny Weaver has never forgotten him. For 23 years, she has waited on the Lord to fulfill her prayer for Ben's return, but she learns that the boy she fell in love with may have flown too far from the home nest. Woods Fisher uses the intriguing arts and sciences of birding and wildlife photography to reveal unexpectedly rich truths about pain, healing, and spiritual connection within the natural world. She approaches subjects of depression and suicide with compassion, and her thematically compelling storytelling will inspire discussion. Woods Fisher's relatable characters bring to life the experience of birding as a passion, a career, an escape, and, most revealingly, a way of understanding life both in its patterns and its unpredictability.
