Julia Lapp has planned on marrying Paul Fisher since she was a girl. Now twenty-one, she looks forward to their wedding with giddy anticipation. When Paul tells her he wants to postpone the wedding--again--she knows who is to blame. Perpetual bachelor and spreader of cold feet, Roman Troyer, the Bee Man.
Roamin' Roman travels through the Amish communities of Ohio and Pennsylvania with his hives full of bees, renting them out to farmers in need of pollinators. He relishes his nomadic life, which keeps him from thinking about all he has lost. He especially enjoys bringing his bees to Stoney Ridge each year. But with Julia on a mission to punish him for inspiring Paul's cold feet, the Lapp farm is looking decidedly less pleasant.
Can Julia secure the future she's always dreamed of? Or does God have something else in mind?
Full of the plot twists and surprises her fans love, The Keeper is the first in a new series by bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher. Through touching family relationships and trials of the heart, Fisher's vivid characters grapple with yielding to God's will when it doesn't match their own.

Vikki’s Musings
I found The Keeper by Suzanne Woods Fisher on Audiobooks and selected it as one of my free books since I’m a fan of Ms. Fisher’s Amish novels. I’m so glad I choose this excellent book. The writing is amazing as always, her characters have depth and the plot is unique.
The love story is a bit of a love triangle where for much of the story, Roman is helping her attract the attention of Paul, the young man she thought would marry her until he got cold feet. Low and behold…turns out Julia sees Paul without her rose-colored glasses and realizes he isn’t ready to settle down and might not be for years. Roman on the other hand exhibits all the characteristics she wants in a husband. Problem: Roman runs away from any deep emotions because carries a lot of baggage from his past.
The Keeper is much more than a romance though. It’s about family, siblings, deep friendships and a strong faith. I suggest you have your box of tissues by your side because yo’re going to need them, especially toward the end.
If you enjoy Amish fiction with endearing characters and an emotionally charged plot, then you will enjoy The Keeper as much as I did. Ms. Woods-Fisher’s novel are fast becoming an auto-buy for me. Happy reading!
