There are a few surprises along with tender moments and heartfelt healing. A few times I felt the plot was a little disjointed or predictable but it was not significant enough to ruin the read. Even though this is the third novel in the series, The Amish of Weaver's Creak, it is written well enough to stand alone. I would still suggest reading the first two. Overall, the story has a good pace with well-developed characters and places and a solid intertwining of faith. This novel was provided as a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Newcomer is the second of three and just as well-crafted as the first and third. The characters are expertly fleshed out and develop naturally through their stories. I felt I had come to know them on a personal level, they were that well crafted and their emotional journey that well conveyed. Of all the Revell authors I've read, Fisher has become my favorite. I feel I can pick up anything she's written and know it will be an enjoyable journey and I'll experience the story with my senses and emotions, as if I were there to experience it. A tiny little issue was the repetitive switching between a title and the name of a character, but it wasn't enough to dampen my enjoyment. Thank you Fisher for gifting your readers with an amazing journey and your writing skills. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review without expectation of a positive or highly rated review.
