Wanda Brunstetter is an award-winning romance novelist who has led millions of readers to lose their heart in the Amish life. She is the author of almost 50 books with more than 5 million copies sold. Many of her books have landed on the top bestseller lists, including the New York Times, Publisher's Weekly, CBA, ECPA, and CBD. Wanda is considered one of the founders of the Amish fiction genre, and her work has been covered by national publications, including Time Magazine and USA Today.
Wanda's fascination with the Amish culture developed when she met her husband, Richard, who grew up in a Mennonite church, and whose family has a Pennsylvania Dutch heritage. Meeting her new Mennonite sister-in-laws caused Wanda to yearn for the simpler life. In their travels, she and her husband have become close friends with many Amish people across America. Wanda's desire to explore their culture increased when she discovered that her great-great grandparents were part of the Anabaptist faith.
All of Wanda's novels are based on personal research intended to accurately portray the Amish way of life. Many of her books are well-read and trusted by the Amish, who credit her for giving readers a deeper understanding of the people and their customs.
Wanda's primary attraction to the Amish is their desire to live a devout Christian life that strives to honor God, work hard, and maintain close family ties. Whenever she visits her Amish friends, Wanda finds herself drawn to their peaceful lifestyle, sincerity, and close family ties, which is in stark contrast to the chaos and busyness that plagues so many modern "Englishers." Time and time again, Wanda loses her heart in the Amish life, and she hopes her readers will, too. For more information, visit: www.WandaBrunstetter.com

They say time heals all wounds, I not so sure about that.  Are you?
Wanda has done it again wrote another fantastic book and left me hanging.
The verdict is still out on these small eight chapter books  Wanda is writing, I have a very hard time with patience so having to wait for the rest of the story is very hard for me.
Once you open this fast read you are sucked in and then before you know it, you are on the last page.
We will have to wait now for book three in he Lancaster County Saga to see if time does heal all wounds.
Before you know it The Hope of Spring book three will be here.
Of course this is a 5 star must read book.
 
I was given a copy by the publisher.

  3. I would love to win this one. I too read the first one a few months ago and can't wait. Like you, I'm not sure what I think about these serialized books. Honestly, I'm not sure I like it. I've read an Amish series and the author escapes me at the moment. It was a 3 book series. A murder occured in the first book and you found out who the murderer was in the 3rd. I didn't mind that since there was a full book in each of the books. Don't get me wrong I won't quit reading Wanda Brunstetter, I just might have to wait like Nancee till I get the whole installment. LOL. Thank you for sharing today. Blessings, Susan Fryman

  11. Wanda is the author for whom we drove across the state to meet. She was my first Christian author friend on Facebook and have tried to buy most of her books. I look forward to every one of them, and would love to win one.

  14. Wanda B. is a long-time favorite of mine. She has never disappointed me in any of her books. I'm having a hard time with the installment books also, because I want to sit down with a complete novel and read it from beginning to end. I will be purchasing this new series, but not until the entire series is available. Do you happen to know is this will be offered in a complete one-book version eventually? That would be my preference. Thanks, Mary!
