Her only Wish by Shelley Shepard Gray





Her Only Wish by Shelley Shepard Gray is an excellent book. It is the second in a series but I didn't know this until I finished the book. Betsy has a life list. This is a list of things she wants to complete while she is visiting her friend in Florida. She has on her list learn how to play golf and play one round of golf,  and learn how to swim. 

This simple list caught on and enriched lives of other. Some of the people in influences is the friend of the man who gives her golf lessons, and the woman and sister who give her swimming lessons.

Betsy is Amish and she has always been protected by her parents so these things would not have happened back in her home in Kentucky.

The story that  was told around these events was touching and heart-lifting. I loved this book.

I was given this book by Revel and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Book Review: The English Son

The English Son: The Amish Millionaire Part 1 by [Brunstetter, Wanda E., Brunstetter, Jean]Before I begin I thought that I had reviewed this book before, but after re-reading it I realized that this was a different book. This book is the first of the Amish Millionaire series by Wanda and Jean Brunstetter. 
Joel Byler, in my opinion, was an impulsive man. He purchased an car which was going to keep him from buying a ring for Kristi Palmer, his fiancee. This has made him act differently to Kristi and this confuses her. 
Joel then goes to ask money of his father, who turns him down. He was going back home when there was an accident.
This book is an easy book to get through and has enough twists and turns to keep the reader turning the pages.

The authors are masters at their trade and I felt this book reflects this.

Book Review: The Lopsided Christmas Cake

The Hochstetler twins, Elma and Thelma are leaving Illinois to go back to a familiar place, their grandparents' farm. The farm was left to them when their grandparents were killed in an accident.

Each of the girls in this book are so much fun to meet and to get to know. I think I started smiling when I first began to read the book and I was able to keep that smile through most of the book.

The girls do not know exactly what is going to be facing them when they take over the farm, and the fact that they are different personalities just add to the adventure.

This is a wonderful book about family closeness and the adventure of the new.

Wanda E. Brunstetter knows how to keep readers coming back. She has such a talent for writing and when I see her titles on the shelf I know that it will be a good read.

I received this book from NetGalley and Barbour Publishing in exchange for my honest review.

Book Review: The Gift by Wanda E Brunstetter

This is the second book in the Prairie State Friends series. In this book, there is an Amish wife who has a job away from the home. The story line and characters in this book are memorable and so well-written that I wished their story could continue when I reached the end of the book.

Wanda E. Brunstetter is known to write outstanding Amish books but I am always surprised at how each one is different and so meaningful.

I would recommend this to any of my friends that enjoy Christian and Amish book.
