Synopsis

Detachment had worked well as a life strategy for horse trainer Sam Schrock. Until he met Mollie Graber . . . New to Stoney Ridge, schoolteacher Mollie has come to town for a fresh start. Aware of how fleeting and fragile life is, she wants to live it boldly and bravely. When Luke Schrock, new to his role as deacon, asks the church to take in foster girls from a group home, she's the first to raise her hand. The power of love, she believes, can pick up the dropped stitches in a child's heart and knit them back together. Mollie envisions sleepovers and pillow fights. What the 11-year-old twins bring to her home is anything but. Visits from the sheriff at midnight. Phone calls from the school truancy officer. And then the most humiliating moment of all: the girls accuse Mollie of drug addiction. There's only one thing that breaks through the girls' hard shell--an interest in horses. Reluctantly and skeptically, Sam Schrock gets drawn into Mollie's chaotic life. What he didn't expect was for love to knit together the dropped stitches in his own heart . . . just in time. Suzanne Woods Fisher invites you back to the little Amish church of Stoney Ridge for a touching story of the power of love.

Goodreads review by Mary Jackson

This is the second book in The Deacon's Family series. I feel like you should read book one Mending Fences so you will know the characters and some of the back story. I sure that it can be read as a stand alone. But why do that when the stories blend together so well. I don't know why but I love sto......more

Goodreads review by Deanne

Stitches In Time is the second book in the Deacon's Family series. I'd read the first book before this one, Mending Fences for a better understanding of the story but not totally necessary. I've also read some earlier books by Suzanne that have some of the characters in this book in it at an earlier a......more

Goodreads review by Kelsie

Stitches in Time by Suzanne Woods Fisher is book two in her The Deacon’s Family series. It is a fine example of Amish fiction, as is book one in the series, Mending Fences. Many of the characters in this series are old friends from previous series. The novel can be read as a standalone, but the back......more
