Written In Love






EXCERPT

"What's got you so out of sorts"? "Nix" " I don't believe you, " she said. I don't care. "Really I'm fine. Everything's fine. Other than this weather." "Yeah, it's a mess out there." She looked toward the window, then back at him. "That's not what's got you bent out of shape, though." She was relentless as her mother. "I'm just....deep in thought." "About what?" "Karen, it's none of your business."


After her bishop tells her that being a single mom is a sin and demands she marry within the community, Phoebe decides that she and her son must leave home.

Phoebe knew that she could never marry someone unless it was for love. She quickly decides to leave her community and move in with her Aunt, who doesn't seem to be welcoming as Phoebe had thought. She soon realizes that living with her Aunt is not going to be the escape  she needs, but insists on making it work. When an incorrectly addressed letter shows up, Phoebe has no idea just how much this will change her life.

MY THOUGHTS 

Where do I begin reading,  I loved the way Kathleen Fuller open with this book. A very unique way for you to get to know who the characters were right from the beginning and and love them. Sit back and grab your favorite snack and beverage and get ready to be touched and have your heart skip a beat or two by this story.  I promise you will not be disappointed with this story of love, faith and sacrifice.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for my review which I have given above.

Wanda Brunstetter Q&A and Giveaway!

It is my pleasure and honor to have had Wanda answer a few questions for us. Thank you Wanda for taking the time out of your schedule to let us know what you have been doing and what inspires you to write.  Wanda Brunstetter Q&A QUESTION 1: When is the earliest that you remember having a passion for writing? Response: From the time I began reading I started writing short stories and poems. I had an imagination as a child. When I was in second grade I wrote a poem about a moth. My teacher thought it was good and said I might someday become an author. That little seed she planted encouraged me to keep writing. QUESTION 2: From all of the different genres that you could have chosen, how did you decide upon Amish life as your primary focus? Response: I chose the Amish life to write about because through my husband, who has a Mennonite background, I met and became friends with many Amish people, whom we have come to know and love.

Something Old by Diane Christner   Something Old , the first book in a series of Plain City Bridesmaid, takes place in Plain City , Ohio , where young Katy Yoder is living her life as a Conservative Mennonite. Nursing a heart broken by her love Jake Byler when he left the faith, Katy moves on and recovers in a life of peace and simplicity. That is, until her world becomes turbulent when Jake returns seeking redemption from the church and forgiveness from her heart.   Confused, angry, and torn, Katy faces a difficult test of faith as she seeks the strength of God to forgive a man who hurt her so deeply. Her journey is one that is painfully familiar, the struggle to forgive those who have wounded us. It is in these times that we are vulnerable to temptation, to weakness of spirit, and indulgence in anger. Katy's story is one of courage that shows us how faith can show us the way, even when  we wonder if God is listening. A w...
