It was nice to reread these lighthearted tales of romance from Wanda Brunstetter. I discovered this book in a resale shop in Amish country. Even though I read each book when they were released in 2007-2008, it was nice to refresh my memory. Each heroine had a past to overcome to find romance afresh. Like most Amish romance there were a happy ending for the women and men.

This book is again one of the outstanding examples of what you can get from this author. She makes the characters come alive so you come to see them as people you know and people who you relate to. Each new book gives you more information and more characters to come to love. This author gives you a home run with every book. She does a great job of entertaining you and still not giving away the plot to soon.
This was book four in Wanda's series The Brides of Webster County. A story about Allison's Journey to find closure from her mother's death and to become an Amish woman who finds her Faith in God and love. This was my favorite in this series.
finished book #3 Dear to Me on 1-17-22, so good showing that all things that are good come to you when you pray about them.
Just finished the 4th book Allison's Journey today. About two misfits who meet and fall in love. them life gets in the way. Great books all in one covering. A pleasure to read.
I really like Wanda E Brunstetter's work but after reading four books in a row in this Omnibus I would like to say that not even in Amishland does everything come out happily ever after every time. I am on sugar ending overkill right now. I think I will have to wait awhile before reading more of her work.
There were 4 books in one on this novel and I loved reading the amish history woven into the characters. If you like amish stories this is a must read..
