Grandma's Doll is the second sweet story written by Wanda Brunstetter in her Love Finds a Way book. This story has amazing characters and the storyline is very enduring. I enjoyed the journey and mystery of the missing doll. I was drawn into this story with memories of a doll I received from my own Grandma's passing.

Sheila Nickels travels to Casper Wyoming to receive a Bye-Lo doll from her grandma. When searching the attic for her treasure she comes up empty handed. This sets Sheila a journey for the missing doll. When Sheila meets the owner of a local antiques store her hopes in finding the doll are raised. Dwaine Woods has greed to help Sheila search for the doll bite every lead turns out to be disappointing. While spending so much time together Sheila and Dwaine become close but Sheila breaks it off and returns to Fresno, California without her beloved doll.

I was not given a complimentary copy of this story to read and review. I was not approached to post a favorable response and all opinions are my own. I have rated this story with five stars for meeting my expectations of a wonderful story that I can highly recommend to others.

Congratulations to Wanda Brunstetter for another inspirational story of faith, love, and family for her readers enjoyment.

Grandma's Doll is a sweet story surrounding a search for a beloved doll once owned by the protagonist's (Sheila) grandmother who is now in a nursing home. When Sheila is asked by her grandmother to come back to Wyoming and pick something special from her house (as it is being sold) as a remembrance, she had no idea the search for this special doll would lead her to the love of her life. An enchanting and quick read that will leave you feeling good from start to finish. Great pick-me-up book. Highly recommend for all!

I saw the title and thought this might be good short book to read. There’s a mystery in finding the doll and there’s a love story.

[Megan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Grandma's Doll is a really cute story! It's a novella, so it's a really fast read, but it was very enjoyable. It's the second book in the Love Finds a Way series, but it could be read on its own as there are no connections whatsoever to the first book.

A good Christian love story
