The Beloved Christmas Quilt was written by Wanda Brunstetter, Jean Brnstetter and Richelle

Brunstetter.

Three beautiful stories written by 3 very talented women. Each story will fill with warm, peace and a
bit of sadness as well.

Whether your taken by Luilla's Promise, Karens Gift or Roseanna Groom each story will touch your heart and leave you with a warm fell of the season.

It is, my opinion that these 3 ladies have a wonderful future as writers especially the newest comer
Wanda's grand daughter Richelle.  I look forward seeing more writing from each one of these ladies.


I was give a copy of this book for my honest review which I have given.

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?

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
