Back and broke in Stoney Ridge, Jimmy Fisher has coasted as long as he could through life on charm, good looks, and deep-set dimples. They always worked just fine for him–until they didn’t. His smile has no effect on the violet-eyed beauty he met at the Bent N’ Dent, the one with that stunning horse. She’s offered him a job, but nothing else.
The last thing Sylvie Schrock King needs around Rising Star Farm is a grown boy working for her, especially her neighbor Edith’s son. The woman holds a serious grudge against Sylvie and her son, and hiring Jimmy Fisher will only fan the flames of Edith’s rancor. But Sylvie is desperate for help on the farm, and Jimmy understands horses like no one else.
While Jimmy’s lazy smile and teasing ways steal Sylvie’s heart, Edith is working on a way to claim her land. Has Sylvie made another terrible mistake? Or is it too late to outfox the fox? More importantly . . . just who is the fox?
Writing with both wit and warmth, Fisher delivers a supremely satisfying conclusion to the popular Deacon’s Family series.

Summary
From: Richard A. Wells
Book Title: Two Steps forward
Book Author: Suzanne Woods Fisher
What do you like about this book:
I had previously read one of the author's books and actually heard her speak a few years ago about her writings and life among the Amish people. She was raised Amish, and maintains close contact and has written several non-fiction books about them. I found the first book that I read quite interesting and this book exceeded my expectations.
Even though the book is the latest in a series of three, I found no difficulty absorbing it as if it were a novel written on its own. The characters are fresh, representative of the ups and down of human nature, yet filled with spiritual reliance that encourages the reader.
Life among the Amish is slowed to an enviable pace, yet suffers many of the same difficulties that plague normal life. Having read many novels in my life, I usually can anticipate many of the turns in plot as they develop. I not only was fooled several time by thinking a certain situation was not logical, then it took a turn that was very practical. In fact, I was amazed at the developments at times. This is a novel that is both informative and entertaining.
