The Seasons of Sugarcreek series, published between 2010 and 2014, is one of Shelley Shepard Gray’s best-known Amish fiction collections. Set in Sugarcreek, Ohio, the series follows different characters through the seasons, starting with Winter’s Awakening and moving through Spring’s Renewal and Autumn’s Promise.
The seasonal structure gives the stories a natural rhythm, and Gray uses the changing landscape to reflect her characters’ emotional lives. The series was popular enough to inspire a companion series, Return to Sugarcreek, which revisits the same community with new storylines.
