Sisters by the Sea by Wanda E. Brunstetter, Jean Brunstetter, Richelle Brunstetter & Lorine Brunstetter Van Corbach

I loved how the four short stories blended so well together and were so enjoyable to read.  As you progress through the book there is a real connection and it is just like one great story.  I love Amish fiction and this book added to the list of good, clean Amish romances.  It was fun to see how the sisters found their way through life after each having a situation that had to be worked through.  The stories all shared growth in the characters. I loved the Florida setting and the contrast and differences in each of the sisters.  It was a fun read and I will continue reading books written by these authors.

I received a complimentary copy of this book.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Amish Menorah and Other Stories by Patrick E. Craig, Willard Carpenter, Jerry Eicher, Thomas Nye, Murray Pura and Amos Wyse

I thought the cover was beautiful!  And the stories were all touching and amazing.  A collection of short stories written by well-renowned Amish authors, what could be better.  The stories were each different and unique.  They were not continuations of each other, so a real variety of Amish reading.  I really looked forward to reading The Amish Menorah, and as I read it, it was very similar in many ways to the real-life story of my mother while still in Germany during The War.

I enjoyed the stories and hoping that perhaps there is more coming.

I received a review copy from one of the authors.  All thoughts are my own.
