Cicada Season


Hannah Troyer thinks she can do it all, but it’s clear the young woman needs help with the apple harvest this year. The local bakers have an idea of how to remedy that. Throw in a handsome, overly confident, Leon Milford, and let the sparks fly.

It will be the craziest summer ever to hit Miller’s Creek, but who doesn’t like a good challenge?




First, let me start off by saying I had the pleasure of meeting Mindy in Lancaster, Pa this past Fall.  She was a new author to me and I am so glad I was able to meet her in person. What a delight. 

REVIEW

Cicada Season is book 3 in the Series Miller Creek. It was so refreshing to be in Kentucky where the setting of this story takes place. I am sure many of us could truly relate to Hannah. Wanting to do everything on her own and thinking she can do it all. Well, we all know that is not the case. The sayings "many hands make light work" always comes to my mind when I face challenges. 

Let me get to the point. This was a wonderful book filled with many challenges an emotions. I recommend this book/series to whoever is looking for a new Amish read.

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.

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 wonderful story of heartbreak and triumph with
