Season on the Wind

After a long absence, Ben Zook returns to his childhood home of Stoney Ridge in search of a rare bird. He plans to find the bird and leave rather than pick up where he left off. But he soon discovers that even if you try to forget the past, the past remembers you.

"A Season on the Wind overflows with warmth and conflict, laced with humor, and the possibility of rekindled love."--Amy Clipston, bestselling author of The Jam and Jelly Nook

Ben Zook was as free as a bird--until a chase for a rare White-winged Tern takes him to the one place on earth he planned to never return: his Amish home in Stoney Ridge.

Desperate for photographs of the elusive tern, Ben hires local field guide Micah Weaver, planning to "bag the bird" and leave Stoney Ridge before anyone recognizes him. But he neglected to plan for Micah's sister, Penny.

Ben had become Penny's spark bird during one long-ago summer, when she had introduced him to birding, even sharing with him a hidden eagle aerie. Penny always hoped Ben would come back to Stoney Ridge. Back to his Amish roots. Back to her.

The only problem? Ben has absolutely no memory of Penny.

"Fisher's relatable characters bring to life the experience of birding as a passion, a career, an escape, and, most revealingly, a way of understanding life both in its patterns and its unpredictability."--Booklist
