What a pleasure to be back in the Amish town of Stoney Ridge in A Hidden Hope by Suzanne Woods Fisher. 5 stars!

Dok has her hands full managing a variety of needs at her medical practice, with only her receptionist Annie for help. She has no time for anything extra, but even so gets talked into taking on three medical interns. Charlie and Wren are residents and Evie is a nurse.

I love Suzanne Fisher's well drawn characters and how she always gives readers medical situations to ponder. In this case the story deals with two, postpartum depression and motion sickness. So very interesting to see solutions to these very real problems.

Fisher is one of the best Amish authors, however I highly recommend A Hidden Hope to any reader regardless of the Amish genre. It's a fantastic story not to be missed! I appreciate Revell Publishers providing a copy for review. All thoughts and opinions are my very own.

Good book. I enjoyed the ways that each of the characters approached their future.
Thank you for this arc.

A Hidden Hope is a continuation of A Healing Touch. It was great to return to Stoney Ridge and get caught up with Dok and Annie. And meet some new characters as well.

Dok takes on two residents (Charlie and Wren) in hopes that one of them will become a partner so she can retire from the practice she loves. Dok also adds a traveling nurse (Evie) to her staff. Dok quickly becomes overwhelmed with her supervisory role of the two residents. The only staff she had previously was Annie who is studying to be an EMT.

So much to love in this novel...medical mishaps and learnings, Amish nuances, rocky paths to romance, faith and humor. Suzanne Woods Fisher is a fabulous author and doesn't disappoint in A Hidden Hope.

A Hidden Hope by Suzanne Woods Fisher once again takes us back to Stoney Ridge and the practice of Ruth “Dok” Stoltzfus, where we meet three brand new characters that bring some closer to this incredible series. But I’m hoping more will be coming!

Each new character brings new twists and turns for Dok and the reader. When two residents and one nurse are unexpectedly plopped on her doorstep, Dok struggles to teach them and instead relies on the reliable Evie, a nurse she immediately connects with.

I loved Charlie and his willingness to dig in and do what he could to help improve the Dok’s practice. While Wren did everything she could to prove she was meant for a better place than Stoney Ridge.

We also catch up with Annie Fisher and her desire to be an EMT. This time, however, something is holding her back, and her dreams of being with Gus might be affected by it.

Lots of twists and turns in this one, and more than one romance. I loved it!

I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Revell via NetGalley for my honest review.

I enjoyed how Suzanne Woods Fisher brought real life issues to light in this book that are not often talked about such as post partum depression. I could not put this book down because I was interested in seeing how the motives of the characters was going to end. Well done Suzanne in taking us back to Stoney Creek for another visit.

Fantastic Story

Many think a second set of hands is what Dok Stoltzfus needs for her practice. Everyone except Dok, that is. However, when she finally gives in, she not only gets one extra set of hands but three extras. And the three extras come with quite a connection among them. Now what?

Catching up with Dok and the residents of Stoney Ridge was so entertaining. The hypochondriacs, know-it-alls, and romance had me smiling, laughing, and even frustrated a few times.

The new additions and their drama were just as entertaining. My first impressions of the newbies put Evie and Charlie on my list of likable characters, while Wren was not. However, in her defense, as I got to know her better, I began to understand the reasons for her behavior and felt compassion for her.

Watching Dok and her personal journey, along with that of the Stoney Ridge community and the newbies, was a true delight. The story perfectly blends romance, hope, faith, discoveries, intriguing medical facts, and unexpected surprises, making this a truly fantastic story.

This beautiful, heartfelt story is set in the Amish community of Stoney Ridge. It is a mix of medical drama, romantic tension and cultural differences.
Suzanne Woods Fisher returns to Stoney Ridge with A Hidden Hope, weaving a story that’s both emotionally rich and quietly powerful. When three newcomers arrive—two freshly minted medical residents and a traveling nurse—their presence stirs up more than just professional challenges. Ruth “Dok” Stoltzfus finds herself juggling medical emergencies, cultural clashes, and a tangle of romantic complications that ripple through the peaceful Amish town.
Wren Baker, ambitious and sharp, arrives with a hidden agenda, while Charlie King, humble and kind, wins hearts with his bedside manner. Evie Miller, the gentle nurse with Mennonite roots, harbors a quiet affection that doesn’t go unnoticed. As their lives intertwine at Windmill Farm, the tension between modern medicine and Plain living sets the stage for a story full of unexpected turns.
The warmth of the story shines through, speaking to the power of love, faith and finding hope in the most surprising places.

This book was amazing. Better than I could have asked for to conclude the series. I want to keep reading more about Doc and the community (Charlie, Wren, Evie, and Annie and Gus) as well as David and Birdy and Sarah - the whole gang. Wonderful book and couldn't put it down, didn't want it to finish. I love the biblical truths she sprinkles throughout - giving me meat to chew on while enjoying a great story. I had to laugh; I was with my daughter who was getting a procedure done at the hospital while reading about Charlie and Wren's "over enthusiastic approach to diagnosing." Hours later, my daughter had an "overly enthusaistic" nurse trying to pin various diagnoses on her as well. I was chuckling under my breath. This book helped bring some humor to an otherwise real-life tense situation.

Another wonderful story set in the Amish community of Stoney Ridge!
Revisiting characters from the previous books, and bringing in some interesting new ones, this was a lovely continuation of the series. Dok Ruth Stoltzfus is again at the center of the tale, as she is faced with the unexpected challenge of training two new resident doctors and a new nurse. Annie, her office manager, is still working towards completing her EMT training, but hits a big obstacle.
"God gives us gifts to use them."
A satisfying read from the beginning to the end, with many tender moments and meaningful spiritual lessons placed throughout. The bishop, David Stoltzfus, adds his musings into the mix as he ponders what is going on in the community, and applies his humble wisdom to situations that arise.
"God doesn't give up on us."
The author manages to touch on deep issues like postpartum depression, learning disabilities, and family dysfunction, without being too heavy.
I appreciate the way she shows a character's struggles and how they seek the Lord's guidance, with moments of quiet reflection, prayer and conversations. The level headed Fern Lapp again mixes with young people in need of help, using her own form of insight. She is a rock. Loved Charlie and Evie's characters, also the continuing developments with Annie and Gus.
It was a wonderful read! Not as much humor this time, but a few moments of levity popped up here and there.
Recommend! A lovely, character driven story that most contemporary Christian fiction readers from teens and up would enjoy.

As always I love Fisher's books. This one is no exception.
I always enjoy coming back to Stoney Ridge and I never want to leave.
Fisher does really well with this book. She weaves some pretty tough subjects and makes them realistic that you find yourself praying or hoping for that character.
We have 3 new characters in this wholesome story.
I rather liked all of them.
I think Charley has to be my favorite with Evie next followed by Wren. All are eager to learn. All have secrets. These secrets are what kept me turning the pages to see what happens next. I wasn't disappointed at all!
There is some laugh out loud places and some sad ones too.
The cover is mysterious which is why I grabbed this one. But I love Fishers stories anyways.
I hope to continue coming back to Stoney Ridge. I miss it when im not reading her awesome adventurers.
I enjoyed getting to know these new characters. I didn't want to say goodbye but I had to.
5 stars from me for a job well done!

We are back in Stoney Ridge, and with our beloved Dok, Ruth Stoltzfus, and Matt her husband wants her to take time off, spend some time together. So she looks into an apprentice, maybe a partner?
Enter medical interns, bright Wren Baker and kind-hearted Charlie King, now she needs to babysit interns? Dok is also gifted with sweet-natured Evie Miller whom she quickly embraces!
This read had me laughing out loud, there are parts that really tickled me!
This is a read that looks at postpartum depression, and it comes out in a several places in this story, with some surprising reveals.
I loved this book and really wanted to stay longer, and hope we are gifted with more time in this Amish town!
