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.

Return to the Big Valley by Wanda E Brunstetter

 

This book contain three stories each of which is unique and a sweet read taking place in Amish communities in the Pennsylvania hills.  Each story is by a different author and all are enjoyable and make for a very entertaining book.  I have enjoyed all of the Brunstetter stories, either from well-known author Wanda and her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.  Their writing style is somewhat similar and so the stories blend well together as a book.

I enjoyed the book very much and although there is a previous book, which I have already read, it can be read as a stand-alone book. These Amish stories are about three different young women, each unique in their own way who have felt sorrows in previous relationships.

The Blended Quilt by Wanda E. Brunstetter and Jean Brunstetter

 Sadie and Wyman's relationship is a bumpy one.  He can't commit to a job and Sadie is frustrated.  She starts a personal project of a quilt combining the reminders of her past trip to Hawaii and her Amish heritage.  There are some rough patches in their relationship as Sadie inherits a large amount of money, writes a book that takes her away from home as she promotes it and yet throughout, the relationship hangs by a thread.

It is a clean read and interesting, as the relationship continues to struggle. The story shows how patience and faith are sometimes important in life and that life does not always run smoothly but even the best relationships have issues to deal with and overcome.

Amish Front Porch Stories by Wanda E. Brunstetter, Jean and Richelle Brunstetter

I  really enjoyed the peaceful and sweet stories by this writing trio.  This book contains 18 stories which all seem to teach a life's lesson.  The stories include different topics, including depression and overcoming.  It talks about life's hardships, joys and sorrows.  The stories were obviously short but all told a wonderful theme with life's various happy and not so happy moments.  It seems that the other characters in the stories often share some good advice and help to others.  I enjoyed these suggestions and ideas.  Good book to make you think about things!

I enjoyed this book and even the cover is pleasant and enjoyable to see on the bookshelf..

I recommend this book!

The Brides of The Big Valley by Wanda E. Brunstetter, Jean Brunstetter & Richelle Brunstetter

This sweet set of three Amish stories is really one I am glad I was able to read.  The book has three intertwined stories of the different Amish groups in the Big Valley in Pennsylvania.  This book dealt with the trials of those who have  physical struggles to overcome.  The book has different personalities and I really enjoyed reading it.  And how can they come together if they are from different Amish groups? 

I was very happy to read this book and it was a most enjoyable read.

The Hawaiian Discovery by Wanda E. Brunstetter and Jean Brunstetter

This was book 2 of the series by these authors.  I have read book one, and felt that it would be an important to read book 1 first to better understand how two Amish girls, Mandy and Ellen make a connection to Hawaii.

So that being said, I have really enjoyed most of the books by these authors but this one was not my favorite one.

I did enjoy the easy reading style and understandability, yet some events seemed a little too unrealistic.  I had no trouble finishing the book and it was a totally different Amish theme then I would normally expect, which brought a definite interest on my part especially since my husband was from Hawaii.  I think you will enjoy the book.  But just not her best, I don't think.

The Beloved Christmas Quilt by Wanda E. Brunstetter and Jean and Richelle Brunstetter

This was a really nice Amish 3 part book written by Wanda E. Brunstetter, her daughter-in-law, Jean and her granddaughter Richelle, three generations of women writing about 3 generations of Amish women.  The three stories blend together and revolve around a special quilt which is passed through the women.

The story develops showing good times and not such good times.  But as they remain faithful, life has a way of renewing.

The stories were very enjoyable and I highly recommend them to fans of Amish fiction.

The Farmer's Market Mishap by Wanda E. Brunstetter

This is a sequel to The Lopsided Christmas Cake by Wanda E. and Jean Brunstetter.  This was an easy reading sweet tale of the twins, Elma and Thelma.  Thelma is now married and expecting a boppli while Elma is single and caring for the store that they inherited.  Thelma seems to want Elma to renew or rekindle some feelings for Delbert, but Elma doesn't seem to respond in the way good-hearted sister Thelma would like her to.  But with being very busy at the store, Elma will probably need a little help to get the work done.

The story is sweet and a relaxing read.  I enjoyed it as I do other books I have read from these authors.  It seems a bit shorter in length but still tells the story well.

The Hawaiian Quilt by Wanda E. Brunstetter and Jean Brunstetter

When Amish Mandy Frey and her three friends head for a Hawaiian vacation, they have no idea what lies ahead in their future.  Mandy and another young Amish woman miss their cruise ship and life begins to change.

I loved this story.  I have always enjoyed Wanda Brunstetter's books, but this was clearly one of my favorites.  Written in cooperation with her daughter-in-law, Jean Brunstetter, it  was a book that I couldn't put down.  I had to see how things turned out.

Definitely a book you need to read!

The English Son by Wanda E. Brunstetter & Jean Brunstetter Pt. 1 of the Amish Millionaire Series

I was surprised to find this book in my mailbox today.  Surprised and very happy!  I really enjoy Wanda and Jean Brunstetter's Amish books and this was no disappointment.

Joel leaves his family to become English and eventually starts a construction company and becomes engaged to Kristi.

But Joel has financial problems of his own doing.  He seems to make himself more and more problems as you goes on.

This book was really interesting.  I read it in one sitting and it ended as a cliffhanger.  Now I know I will need to read part 2.  There is no getting around this one!

This series is going to be a dramatic one, I can tell already.  I am sure you won't want to miss this series which will be coming out over the next 6 months.

Thank you Wanda Brunstetter and Barbour books for sending me a copy of this great read!
