The Striker

This large print edition features an easy-to-read larger type size while preserving the complete text of the original edition. When hidden secrets surface in Stoney Ridge, one act of grace will change everything.

Sam Mustang has come to Stoney Ridge with one purpose--to make amends before his time runs out. An outsider with a past he can't undo, he finds unexpected companionship in Darcy Delaney, a traveling nurse whose restless spirit is steadied as Sam teaches her and young Gus Troyer the wonder of stargazing.

But the stars aren't the only things shifting in Stoney Ridge. Dok Stoltzfus is thrust back into the hardest chapter of her life when the child she once fostered returns. His presence stirs complicated questions: Is she now too old to be a mother, and what lies behind the troubling changes she sees in the child?

As those secrets ripple outward, the lives of Sam, Dok, and Gus begin to pull at the same thread. Sam's search for redemption, Dok's struggle with calling and family, and Gus's bond with a vulnerable child collide in ways that test faith, love, and the very meaning of forgiveness.

Suzanne Woods Fisher delivers a heartwarming Amish story of unexpected romance, friendship, community, and redemption in Lancaster County that will captivate readers and book clubs who enjoy Beverly Lewis and Shelley Shepard Gray.
