Twice Loved By Wanda Brunstetter


Beloved, bestselling author Wanda E. Brunstetter tells a touching story of World War II widow and single mother Bev Winters who discovers unexpected kindness—and love—during the Christmas season. Also included in this beautifully embellished book are 1940s recipes and handcrafts along with stories and trivia from Christmas 1945.

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 60 books with more than 6 million copies sold. Many of her books have landed on the top bestseller lists, including the New York Times, USA Today, 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.
 
I just read Twice Loved in less then an hour. It is a fast read but it is so full of Love.  I love Dan and Bev's story, the family they became.
I don't think this book is anything Like what most of you Wanda Fans are used to.
This is not an Amish story, it is a fantastic love story, a story of healing and getting over the loss of a loved one.
I love books with a great Christmas story, this is not a book to be missed. This is a feel good book.
This is an older book first published back in 2005 it has just be republished this year and I am so happy that I got the chance to read it.
5 Star book for sure.
