Trudy Yoder shares a passion for birding with Micah Weaver--and she has an even greater passion for Micah. Their friendship is finally turning romantic when Micah abruptly grows cold. Worse still, he wants to leave Stoney Ridge.
Micah Weaver thought he was over Trudy's older sister. A year and a half ago, Shelley had broken his heart when she ran away from Stoney Ridge to pursue a singing career in Nashville. Then, out of the blue, she's started to leave distressing phone messages for him.
When the bishop asks for volunteers to scout out a possible church relocation in Tennessee, Micah is the first to raise his hand. Despite scant details, he's confident he can find Shelley. After all, his reputation as a field guide is based on finding birds that don't want to be found.
What Micah doesn't know is that what you're looking for isn't always what you find.

MY THOUGHTS.....
I've learned that books by this author are so much more than just entertaining reads. There are often life truths tucked into the pages, inspiring faith threads woven into the stories, and many chances to learn. This book has all of these! Lost and Found is a thought-provoking story with intriguing characters and a well-developed plot that centers on a conflict in faith. I enjoyed the promising romance between two avid birdwatchers but much of the story focuses on an Amish family dealing with mental illness and an Amish bishop's efforts to do what is best for his people. Should the church of Stoney Ridge relocate? Will a more liberal Amish group, the Beachy Amish, succeed in dividing this Stoney Ridge community?
This compelling story by Suzanne Woods Fisher reminds us that things aren't always as they seem and secrets can be found in all groups of people. I recommend Lost and Found to all who enjoy contemporary Amish fiction.
I received a copy of this book from Baker Publishing through Revell Reads. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
