Mending Fences by Suzanne Woods Fisher

Mending Fences is a look at repentance and forgiveness.  Not always a straight forward action on either party.  Luke Schrock has not only disappointed but negatively affected his family and close knit Amish community by immature and self centered actions.  Upon returning from an extended time in a rehab center Luke is ready to make amends.  At the beginning he assumes wrongly that this will be an easy task.  The Bishop has not only required that Luke express his apologizes to each person he has wronged but that Luke listen to how the wrong has affected the person.  This proves much more heart breaking than Luke could have ever imagined.  He learns the true meaning of long lasting and far reaching effects of another person's action upon another.  As Luke struggles with these revelations he meets a lovely young woman Izzy.  When he discovers that she does not know who her biological mother is he decides to find the woman.  This has consequences that neither of them could have imagined. 

I received this book from the publishers and was not required to write a positive review.
