The Restoration By Wanda Brunstetter



Dive into an Amish country love triangle in this third book of the Prairie State Friends series. Priscilla Herschberger finds herself pursued by Elam, a childhood friend from her community, and David, an outsider raised in the modern world. Elam would do almost anything to convince Priscilla that David would never fit into the Amish way. Will flames of jealousy rage out of control and ruin lives? Can forgiveness allow love and trust to grow?

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 over 60 books with more than 7 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 LOVED this book from page one. Of course I have never read a book by Wanda that I did not love with that being said, I read this book straight through and I must say it was fantastic. Priscilla was like a friend to me and I loved her story. It is not a predictable Amish story. I never saw the end coming I had it all wrong but it turned it just as it was suppose to.
I loved that this story went right along with the first two books in the Prairie State Friends series and you get to catch up with characters from the first two books in the series.
I did not care however for Priscilla's mom but other than her you are going to love the friends in this story. I also loved that we got to pick up on Adam and his  long lost mom Cora. You will love this part of the story.
I gave this book 5 stars two times and I highly recommend it.
I was given a copy of this book by the publishers for my honest review.

  10. Wanda is one of the few Amish authors that I will read. Her books are so good but the other Amish authors are so predictable. Thank you for sharing it with us.
