My thoughts

Letters of Trust is the first book in Wanda Brunstetter's new series, Friendship Letter series. This book is not what you think it may be about. I truly enjoyed reading this book and how Wanda brought real-life issues into this series that show how we are all human. I highly recommend this book. Be prepared to be moved while you are reading and trust me, you won't put this down.

About the Author

WANDA’S WILLKUM

Welcome to my writing world. It is my hope that you will not only enjoy a good story when reading one of my books, but will learn more about the Amish way of life.

As I have come to know and love my special Amish Friends, I’ve been filled with the realization that, while they may live and dress differently than most of us “Englishers,” they experience the same joys and deal with the same struggles as we do. Writing about the Amish fills my heart with joy and peace. I hope reading about the Amish will do that for you as well.

Mitt Lieb, (With love),

Wanda

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. I have a d

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.
