Looking For A Miracle by Wanda E. Brunstetter is about Rebekah, an Amish young woman who had an accident as a girl and was confined to a wheelchair. It is a slow moving story about how Rebekah struggles with trusting God for her future and is somewhat bitter because of her handicap. I liked how she found a way to become more self-supporting and finally found romance and love. It gives some insight into the Amish community which I found to be interesting and includes a recipe for home-made roo

I didn't think I would read this book but when I couldn't find anything that was "IN" at the library, I decided to pick it up. It was ok. I mean, it had a pretty good story and I LOVE the fact that it is clean. BUT the conversations were almost painful to read. WAY too formal for me. I've met Amish people before and none of them were *that* formal in their conversations with each other OR with me. I couldn't stand being in a relationship with someone and talking that way. ANYWAY

A young adult book -- very simple. But, I lived in Lancaster County (subtitle: Brides of Lancaster County) and enjoyed being around the Amish. So, I will read it, but probably not read any more of them. There are two series -- Brides of Lancaster County, and Daughters of Lancaster County. If a young person has no experience with the Amish, this is a good introduction. After I've finished it -- not worth the time unless you're a 14 year old girl.

2nd in the series. This one is about the girl from the first novel who lost the use of her legs. Now she is grown up and is concerned that she must be able to take care of herself and no one will love her because of her handicap. Liked the Amish courting story. But again the writer really could use a thesaurus because she uses the same phrasing over and over. Predictable, but sweet.

This one had different pacing than the other one I read by this author. This story took place in a much shorter period of time and the scenes followed each other fairly rapidly. Here again the woman was much better drawn than the guy. We never even knew how old he was. Just that he was young. You didn't get much feel for him. It was enjoyable though.

This is the 2nd of these I've read, and it's unfortunate that I don't like them better because I really do love so many of the Amish series. It just seems like there's more whining and self-center-self-pity than I can deal with. Not really planning on trying any more of these.

Not my favorite of her books. Seemed to repeat itself a lot. The story would start to move forward and I'd get really into it and then it would repeat itself again and be slow reading

Again, while predictable, I really enjoy Brunstetter's books. I liked seeing how the author dealt with her characters trial.

A little too idealistic. Things work out a little too perfectly. Enjoyed it though.

I enjoyed this book. I appreciated the reminder that we need to be in constant contact with God . . . always seeking His will for our lives . . . and we need to have His help so we do not miss His miracles for us.
That said, there were times in the book I just wanted to shake Rebekah and call her “dummkoppe” (loosely translated as a dunce, but used in a teasing reference). Daniel was no better at points. I guess having characters that make you want to shake some sense into them, ye More...

I am enjoying this series. Not the best Amish series that I have ever read, but I enjoyed it. Wanda Brunstetter tends to put a bit more religion into her stories that I enjoy, even though it is about the Amish and I expect there to be some.

i liked it, but it could have been better. was a good story idea, but a little on the boring side at times. after a while i was just like, "get over it, anna! you're in a wheelchair! so what?"

I like the stories with both views. This was a one sided story but still very good
