to: Going Home (Brides of Webster County #1)byWanda E. Brunstetter
Sheesh, I am going through Mrs. Brunstetter's books at break-nek speed. Thanks to that Speed-Reading course my mom made me take in 7th grade, I can finish one of her books in about 3-4 hours.
This was a great story! I really find myself caring about each character. This is the 3rd WEB series that I have read...and enjoyed! (Well, this is only the 1st book..I have 3 to go!
With each of the other series', I could see where the end of the story would lead into the next book. I must admit, since I haven't read the back of book #3 of Brides of Webster County...I canNOT "see" where this book 'leads' into the next one. A teeny-tiny disappointment.
Having attended a Plain church (for more than just a visit), I do find that the books portray that faith, values and lifestyle of the Plain people...which are THAT "simplistic". They have their ups and downs just as the rest of us do.
I do enjoy the Brunstetter series MUCH better than the Lewis series' because in Mrs. Brunstetter's, the answers to your problems are to turn to your family and your faith.
In Mrs. Lewis' books...the answers are OUTSIDE yoru family and faith...that the Amish are not believers in Jesus...and that's just a falsehood.
We don't find out who's doing vandalism till the last TEN PAGES!! And you WON'T BELIEVE WHO IT IS!!!
I am editing to add that I agree with the other reviewers that this book seemed written only to complete the other 2 books. And not as much as its own story.
