Publisher's summary

The Brunstetters return to a unique Amish setting for three new stories of love.

Journey back to an area of Pennsylvania that is home to three distinct Amish communities and meet three young women who face heartfelt disappointments in romance.

Wilma’s Wish by Wanda E. Brunstetter

Wilma Hostetler has been courted by Israel Zook for the last year, and he’s recently proposed marriage. But when his sister dies, leaving him to care for five young nephews who openly dislike Wilma, she has second thoughts of starting with a ready-made family and decides to call off the wedding. Can anything be done to restore the relationship, or will Israel seek another wife?

Martha’s Miracle by Jean Brunstetter

Martha Yoder is different from other Amish women in her love of hunting and the outdoors. Meeting Glen Swarey, who is working with the local fire department, seems to be a good match. But can Martha accept Glen’s thoughts of leaving the Amish faith, or will she walk away from a chance at love?

Alma’s Acceptance by Richelle Brunstetter

Alma Wengerd is a young widow who leaves her home in Kentucky to stay with friends in Pennsylvania. Soon she is speeding into a renewed romance with Elias Kurtz and raising the brows of the older church members. When Alma is waylaid by some unexpected news, could putting her happiness with Elias on hold be her only option?

Thoroughly Enjoyable!

Here are three different stories of overcoming struggles and challenges told from 3 different Women's perspectives. Overcomer through grace and mercy.

Never a disappointment!

I always feel like I am right there with the characters and this book was no disappointment! I loved how each story progressed and how they were all separate and with different struggle for each making the whole book that much more enjoyable. Totally worth the read, or listen.

Not even close to Amish

I tried , , , I really tried to push past all the obvious non-Amish characters, lifestyle and situations this book presents but . . . really!!! An Amish mom discouraging her daughter from caring for Amish kids, to NOT keep her word, and to seek her own comfort. Meanwhile, her Amish dad doesn't encourage his daughter to do what's right or wrong he just "knows she'll do the right thing" . Oh, and let's not forget the best friend who hears the gossip about her friend's unrighteous dumping her fiance but doesn't defend her but instead tries to set her up with another man within a couple of weeks after the breakup! I'm sorry but this book is just too much of a bad fairytale, even for someone like me who likes fairytales!!
The second book is equally ridiculous with a father who takes his daughter hunting and fishing and leaves the son at home, an Amish man attracted to a girl who knows more about turkey hunting and fishing than he knows about practically anything. Ah no!! Just NO.
