Author bio
Suzanne Woods Fisher has been writing for a very long time. On her site, she says one of her earliest stories, written in sixth grade, involved Pompeii, a dog, and a volcano. It was not, by her own telling, a masterpiece. But it did the job. It made her want to keep going.
That steady love of writing stayed with her through college and well into family life. At Westmont College she worked on the weekly newspaper, and later, while raising four children, she freelanced for magazines. Even when her family was living in Hong Kong, she kept writing for American publications, helped along by the still-new internet. It was less a dramatic leap into authorship than years of quiet practice.
Then came books.
Her first novel, Copper Star, was a World War II story published by a small press. It won early awards and, more importantly, caught the attention of agent Joyce Hart. That changed the path of Fisher's career. Hart knew Fisher had a real family connection to Plain communities through her grandfather, who was raised Plain, and introduced her to an editor who was looking for exactly that kind of background.
Family history mattered.
The first book Fisher wrote for Revell was Amish Peace, a nonfiction look at Amish life and values. It became a foundation for the fiction that followed. Soon readers were meeting characters in books like The Choice, The Keeper, and The Letters, stories that brought Amish communities to life through family tension, romance, forgiveness, and the kind of secrets that never stay buried for long. She has also written for younger readers with The Adventures of Lily Lapp, a series built with Mary Ann Kinsinger from real childhood memories.
What makes her work easy to return to is that she does not stay in just one lane. Some books are rooted in Amish country in Pennsylvania. Others head to nineteenth-century Nantucket in the Nantucket Legacy novels, the coast of Maine in Three Sisters Island, Cape Cod in the Cape Cod Creamery books, Kentucky in The Moonlight School, and more recently the national parks in books like Capture the Moment. The settings change, but the heart of the stories usually stays close to home: people trying to rebuild trust, choose courage, and figure out what faith looks like in ordinary life.
Her official press material notes that her books have sold more than 1.5 million copies, but the more telling detail might be how she talks about her life now. She describes herself as a wife, mother, grandmother, tennis player, home cook, gardener, and dog lover. For years she also raised puppies for guide-dog training, which helps explain why animals show up so naturally in some of her fiction. She still writes from the San Francisco Bay Area, and she still sounds like someone who genuinely likes the work.
That may be the clearest through line in her career. Not flash. Not reinvention. Just curiosity, discipline, a deep interest in community, and the willingness to keep writing one story after another.
