About the Book

Book: A Plain Confession

Author: Suzanne Woods Fisher

Genre: Amish Fiction

Release Date: October 20, 2026

Sam Mustang has come to Stoney Ridge with one purpose–to make amends before his time runs out. An outsider with a past he can’t undo, he finds unexpected companionship in Darcy Delaney, a traveling nurse whose restless spirit is steadied as Sam teaches her and young Gus Troyer the wonder of stargazing.

But the stars aren’t the only things shifting in Stoney Ridge. Dok Stoltzfus is thrust back into the hardest chapter of her life when the child she once fostered returns. His presence stirs complicated questions: Is she now too old to be a mother, and what lies behind the troubling changes she sees in the child?

As those secrets ripple outward, the lives of Sam, Dok, and Gus begin to pull at the same thread. Sam’s search for redemption, Dok’s struggle with calling and family, and Gus’s bond with a vulnerable child collide in ways that test faith, love, and the very meaning of forgiveness.

Dear Reader,

Here’s a fun bit of timing to celebrate A Plain Confession‘s release: in November 2026, just a few weeks after the book comes out, the Leonid meteor shower peaks. It’s one of the most dazzling showers of the year, with fast, bright streaks that show up without warning. No telescope needed. Just a dark patch of sky, a warm jacket, and a willingness to slow down for a while.

If you want to make a night of it, pack some stargazing snacks. Cosmic popcorn, sprinkled with smoked paprika. Shooting star sandwiches, cut with a cookie cutter. Milky Way hot cocoa or Comet apple cider in a thermos. Or go all out with a celestial charcuterie board: moon and star-shaped cheddar bites, chocolate-covered almonds, dried cherries, crackers, the works.

A few tips if you’re new to stargazing:

Find a darker spot. Even stepping away from porch lights helps.
Give your eyes time. Ten minutes without bright screens makes a huge difference.
Look toward the east for the best show.

Then just pause. Let yourself slow down.

That’s the heart of Sam’s story too. Slowing down. Paying attention. Letting small wonders do their quiet work.

I hope A Plain Confession gives you that same sense of wonder. Thanks for joining me on the tour! Happy stargazing!

Suzanne

MY REVIEW

This author is one of my favorites because she knows how to write with passion. Her characters are always well developed and give readers much to be excited about. I like how the story has a bit of intrigue along with decisions that will change several lives.

It would be easy to go into details about the book but I want to do this review a bit differently. Yes the characters are worth mentioning but more importantly are the challenges they face. I easily got lost in the story and was not distracted by anything around me. I was invested in the little boy who needed a home. I wanted the child to be healthy and have a happy family. What the author delivers is emotional and remind us , “ God seldom reveals the big picture, but He does light the path ahead , step by step.”

Stargazing was a welcome addition to the story. As a young child I was always fascinated by the stars. Looking up at the stars gave me comfort. Now I think about the beauty God made and how the stars shine bright. Two characters will form a bond around this subject and open doors to perhaps a new relationship. Beautiful lessons in forgiveness, redemption and trust bring this story full circle.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
