My Review
If you've read any Amish fiction at all I'm sure you've heard
of the author, Wanda Brunstetter. She is one of the first authors to write the genre and an absolute go to author for me when she releases a new book.
I've read almost all of her books and she is not slowing down at all. Her books get better and better with each one she releases! This is the third and I do believe final book in the Prayer Jars series because it answers all the questions from the past books. If you do read this series please do yourself a favor and read all three of the books in order to get the most enjoyment out of the series.
There is a lot going on here in this book, a new man moves to town after his fraa passes away with an infant daughter . He's not ready to open his heart to love again but his daughter needs a mother. Is there a way to have both?
We meet up again with Grandma and Grandpa Lapp and with his failing health Lenore moves in to help when she's not teaching at the local Amish school. There is family moving away for new opportunities. And we finally have answers when the final prayer jar is found. Answers that have long been prayed for.
I enjoyed reading how the characters are so easy to relate to. The characters has stress and worry but they take it into prayer and work to resolve it. This author is a true blessing to many including myself with her books. Published August 1st 2019 by Shiloh Run Press I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you.
