    About this ebook

    He's taking a chance on love . . . and there's no plan B.
     
    Will Stoltz has returned to Stoney Ridge with a clear plan. He's opening a wild bird rescue center and is determined to rekindle his fizzled romance with Jackie Colombo, the veterinarian who stole his heart. But nothing is working out as Will planned. The leased building for the rescue center is a disaster, his funding is rapidly dwindling, and Jackie Colombo has disappeared without a trace.
     
    When an injured eagle is found in a pasture near the Inn at Eagle Hill, Will is desperate to prove to himself, to his skeptical father, and to everyone else that his mission has not been in vain. But as his best-laid plans begin to fail, Will discovers something more valuable.
     
    Travel back to the Inn at Eagle Hill for the untold story of one of your favorite characters and experience the miracle of love.

      If you have been following this series, this short novella is going to delight you, it can be read alone, a lot of facts are given, but don’t miss this amazing series!We have our intern vet that we met with the eagles back, and his passion, as you have probably guessed is rescuing birds. Will Stoltz is back, remember him from The Revealing, and he is now a full fledge Veterinarian. How he will make out with a non-profit in this small Amish town, you will love how some money does come to him.Enjoy how the Amish grapevine, gets a bit mixed up, but you will put it all together, and it is a good chuckle! My only complaint was that I wished this were a lot longer, hated to say goodbye!I received this book through Litfuse Publicity Book Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.

      Return to Stoney Ridge and the Inn at Eagle Hill in the ebook novella, The Rescue by Suzanne Woods Fisher. A sweet story set in Amish country, fans of Fisher’s books will recognize favorite characters, including Luke, Rose Schrock’s mischief-loving son. The story revolves around Englisher Will Stoltz, newly licensed veterinarian, who is stepping out of his comfort zone to start a non-profit wild bird rescue center. The community welcomes him with open arms, but the future he envisioned is just not working out. Low on funds and unable to find out just what happened to Jackie, another vet he is interested in, Will realizes through the wise words and loving actions of his Amish neighbors that surrender to God is best. Other themes touched on are the relationship between fathers and sons and the sovereignty of God. If you are looking for another sweet taste of the simple life in Stoney Ridge, then definitely check out The Rescue.(Thanks to NetGalley and LitFuse for a review copy. The opinions expressed are mine alone.)

    Will Stoltz turned the key to the vacant storefront and felt a wave of disappointment. This place was a wreck: dirty and dingy, musty-smelling, in need of fresh paint and a serious airing out. He frowned. It was his own fault for not making the time to get down to Stoney Ridge to see this property before he agreed to the lease. To a year’s lease, paid in advance, wiping out his savings.

    He flicked on the light switch and, of course, the lights didn’t go on. He walked through the empty rooms—the front of the store, the two back rooms. No, not store. Center. It was the new site of the Stoney Ridge Wild Bird Rescue Center and he was the director. And the veterinarian. And the fundraiser. And the janitor. Basically, he was it.

    Naturally, his father thought he was a fool to turn down lucrative offers in established practices to start his own nonprofit center. Why Stoney Ridge, of all places? his father had bellowed. His mother only smiled, in that old soul way she had.

    If Will wanted to make a go of a wild bird rescue center in the state of Pennsylvania, he explained to his father, this rural village was the place to be. The Audubon Society had acknowledged the area as a spot where endangered bird populations were rebounding. Lancaster County overflowed with ponds and creeks that made it home to all kinds of fascinating birds, including falcons and eagles.

    Stoney Ridge also abounded with Amish, who were sensitive to the welfare of birds and kept eco-friendly farms. Each spring, Amos Lapp of Windmill Farm plowed his fields around nesting bobolinks. Will had a soft spot for the Amish when he stayed on Windmill Farm after being banished from college for a semester. That spring was a turning point for Will to become his own man. Separate from his father but at peace with him. Most of the time, anyway.

    Stoney Ridge was also the place where Will’s mother had found healing from a broken body. A broken heart too. His parents’ marriage mended while she stayed at the Inn at Eagle Hill, run by the Schrock family.

    And last but not least, Stoney Ridge was where Jackie Colombo lived. Will had the strangest feeling when he first met Jackie, a bounce in his soul; he was certain he’d met a like-minded partner. There was an instant bond between them, a powerful attraction. He couldn’t forget her. He couldn’t find her either.

    Jackie was a country vet whom Will had met six months ago at the Inn at Eagle Hill, on a quick trip to visit his mother. They exchanged emails about vet-related topics, and soon the emails became a little more lengthy, a little more personal. In one email, Will broached the idea of starting a wild bird rescue center in Stoney Ridge and Jackie responded immediately, thrilled with the idea. She was the one who gave him the link to this rental property.

    But then he plunged headfirst into final exams and didn’t contact Jackie for over a week. When he came up for air and emailed her, she didn’t respond. Graduation came, then state boards for Pennsylvania so he
