This collection is a depature from the stories I'm used to reading by Wanda Brunstetter. This book features 3 stories, each around 90 pages. It is historical Christian fiction, with an emphasis on Christian, though Wanda doesn't shove any particular religion at the reader, her characters are all very religious.
The first and the last stories were the best. Daddy's Girl had Glenna finding love and God after her father jumps off a train, but there is more to the story then that. The story reminds u...more

What a great book and wonderful read. Even though I have read a couple of the stories before, I loved reading them again. The book is an extremely quick and enjoyable read.
The first story is about a young woman, leaving another home because of her Dad's gambling. There are twists and turns to the story and you wonder how she will ever manage. She has to rely on her newly found faith.
The second story is about a teacher and living along the canal in PA. These are hard times, and you wonder if the...more

Love Finds A Home by Wanda E. Brunstetter
I received an advance review copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I am under no obligation to write a positive review, just an honest one.

Well let's go with the worst part of this book first, the stories weren't long enough. I wanted more. I have never read anything by Wanda Brunstetter that was not an Amish novel before and I was taken by her stories. I read this whole book in one sitting. My favorite story was well, I better rephrase that and say my favorite part of Daddy's Girl was how Reverend Green ended up saving Glenna. And my favorite part in Dear Teacher was when Judith finds out who was writing the unsigned notes in the...more

This is a collection of 3 historical stories. I truly loved the last two stories in this book of three. I would read Dear Teacher and Twice Loved again but I would not bother with Daddy's Girl which is why I have to mark this book down by 2 stars.

3.5 stars/Fiction; Christian Romance
Made up of three novellas, Love Finds A Home is a charming romance book by Wanda E. Brunstetter. Written with a christian theme, these stories combine realistic situations while keeping the characters focused on God. It is not a heavy-handed approach but there is definitely a strong message delivered throughout the book.

This book contains three short stories and they are indeed very short. I realize that when a story is shorter your not going to have as much depth and detail but I felt that these stories where so short they did not seem believable. Take the first story for instance it deals with Glenna who is running with her father because he is a gambler and on the train she meets a man who ended up marring her. The story line idea was great it could have been a whole book in its self but when compressed it...more
I only read the first story "Daddy's Girl" because I have read the other two before. Glenna is traveling on the train with her gambling father and meets David. Her father jumps from the train to escape someone after him, will Glenna escape falling in love with the preacher man, David?

Didn't LOVE it. Short, very quick read, and because of that it is lacking details, and development. It is only 91 pages. Interesting storyline, but not very satisfying.
Such wonderful stories.. Ms. Brunstetter just knows how to tell a story. Even though I could figure out the ending I loved the trail to get there..
totally cheesy, totally worth it. read it in one afternoon. great read.
Good stories...wished they were longer and more developed.
Very sweet. Perfect for a YA. I've read all of them again.
Great Love stories.
Slightly cheesey in some ways but just nice, sweet short little stories
