This week’s book giveaway is for the inspirational Amish fiction book The Quieting by Suzanne Woods Fisher.
What is this book about?
It was a well-laid plan — But it wasn’t her plan…
It’s all her grandmother’s fault. For the last few months, Abigail Stoltzfus has helped her father with his genealogical research, hoping that breaking through a client’s brick wall would also break his melancholy. But now her intrusive grandmother has set her sights on marrying off Abigail and insists she come to Stoney Ridge, where there is a plethora of eligible bachelors.
Except that Mammi is mistaken. There are no eligible bachelors in Stoney Ridge, barring one, and he’s all wrong. Dane Glick has the wrong last name and the wrong relatives — including the bishop who is at odds over a church matter with Abigail’s uncle, minister David Stoltzfus.
As the conflict grows, setting family against family, it’s becoming clear that the path to a solution may lead to a Quieting — a removal of a church leader. But for which one? And when Abigail stumbles onto a curious connection during her genealogical research, it could help David solve one problem — but will it create another?

No I never have. I would like to but I dont know how to do it for free.
I understand that Linda. I did some research through Ancestry.com but it came to a standstill once I got to the paid part. Thanks for commenting. 🙂
Yes, when I had a free membership to Ancestry.com. Would love to do more.
Thanks for commenting Lucy. 🙂
Yes, I have and went back 7 genetrations
That is great Shelia. 🙂 Did you find anything that surprised you?
Yes, I recently researched my family’s history to figure out how certain relatives were related.
Thanks for sharing Danielle. 🙂
I have done a little research. Just the tip of the iceberg.
There is sooo much to ancestry isn’t there Jan? Thanks for commenting. 🙂
I have tried to research my family tree. My Mom’s side I had fairly good luck. My Dad’s, however, is impossible to go past my grandparents. My Grandfather left the “old country” coming to the states and left everything and everyone behind and wiped the slate so to speak. He even changed his name to his wife’s mother’s maiden name legally. My dad was a young man before he ever knew that much. He refused to talk about anything prior to coming to the states. You can’t even go by documentation because we have found so many discrepancies between forms. Finally just had to give up on that side.
I ran into those kinds of issues myself Kay. I have relatives who came to the US and didn’t talk about their lives before that. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
My grandmother was always fascinated with family history and gave me a copy of her findings. I have it in a notebook and made copies for my cousins.
How awesome Gail! 🙂 My mom was the ‘family historian’ so I got some of her records after she passed away so that was helpful in my research. Thanks sharing. 🙂
I have never done much family research. I have an aunt on one side who has done a good bit.
Thanks for commenting Patty. 🙂
No, I haven’t. My great aunt did my Dad’s side of the family and put it in book form for all of us. It was interesting to learn that the spelling of their last name was changed when they came to America. Don’t know much about my Mom’s side of the family.
Thanks for sharing Dianne. 🙂
I have not personally researched my family history but I do know who does. I think it’s my great aunt and she has a Facebook group for our family tree. Very interesting stuff 🙂
Thank you for the chance to win a copy of The Quieting!
You’re welcome Trixi and thanks for sharing. 🙂
I have never researched my family’s history. It would be interesting to learn more about my ancestors, though.
Thanks for commenting Dianna. 🙂
Yes I have and it is neat to find out about your family history and where they come from.
Welcome to my website Kristina. Thanks for commenting. 🙂
