Summary
In The Newcomer, bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher continues her heartfelt and historically rich Amish Beginnings series with a novel that captures the tension, courage, and faith of early Amish settlers in the New World. As the community led by Bishop Jacob Bauer settles into their new home in Pennsylvania, they find themselves navigating the unfamiliar terrain—not just of the American wilderness, but of their own hearts and beliefs.
At the center is Anna Konig, a young woman whose gentle strength and devotion are tested when her suitor, Bairn, returns to sea—leaving her questioning her future. When a mysterious newcomer appears, bringing unsettling news and emotional upheaval, the fragile unity of the community is threatened. Fisher masterfully balances romance, historical insight, and spiritual themes, crafting a narrative that speaks to the enduring power of faith and belonging.
This is a compelling read for fans of historical fiction, Christian romance, and Amish life. Ideal for readers who love character-driven stories rooted in real history.
