The Lesson tells the story of Mary Kate Lapp, the
last daughter in the Lapp family who have their stories told in the Stoney
Ridge Seasons of books. Mary Kate, M.K., is the youngest daughter in her
family, and she is definitely the most precocious of all the children. No
matter what she tries to do, there always seems to be some type of disaster
following the 19 year old.
M.K. dreams of travel, and she wants to leave her
Amish community. Her plans for travel are put on hold when she causes an
accident which leaves the school teacher out of commission for 10 weeks. M.K.
finds herself with a new position in her community as she becomes the
substitute teacher. In addition to her new job, M.K. can’t help but let her
imagination wander when she decides the newest resident of her town is a thief
and murderer. Obviously, this creates many interesting moments for M.K.
I really enjoyed this book, and as I read the other
books in the series, I could not wait to learn about M.K. since she was always
entertaining in the other books. I thought this book tied in nicely with the
others in the series, but you don’t necessarily have to read the first 2 in
order to enjoy this book. I’m sad to see this series come to an end, but I will
be looking forward to more books by Suzanne Woods Fisher.

Hi Lam! Loved your description of M.K.--"there always seemed to be some type of disaster following her!" So true! Thanks so much for being a part of the blog tour. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to drop by--I had a wildly busy Christmas (daughter had a baby, son got engaged), and slipped right into January with a manuscript due in as "Lesson" was releasing. Just getting caught up now. But...I am grateful! You've been a wonderful support to me, Lam. Warmly, Suzanne
