The Hope Chest

The Hope Chest is a book about romance, faith and finding out what Hope really is. The book centers around Rachel Beachy and Silas Swartley, with whom Rachel has been smitten with a long time but Silas is more interested in her older sister Anna. Anna shocks and suddenly marries and leaves the Old Order Amish, whom she has been unhappy with, as well as Ruben Yutzy the young man she marries. Find out how Rachel realizes that Hope is more than items in a Hope Chest. Also I suggest that you read A Merry Heart, Looking for a Miracle, Plain and Fancy stories about other Lancaster County Amish Brides

Wanda Brunstetter writes very much in the same style as Beverly Lewis. Both know the Amish way of life and relay that to the reader in a refreshing style.

Great book! I also love good clean reading books since I have children in the house that loves to read also! Author of When God unfolds the rose, Peggy Headings

I enjoy these novels by Wanda Brunstetter very much. They are good clean reading.

I recommend that you read all of the Brides of Lancaster County series and the Daughters of Lancaster County series. Wanda Brunstetter brings the simple and peaceful way of the Amish to life in her books. A must read for the Amish lover at heart!

I have read all of the Brides of Lancaster and wish there were more in this series. I felt like I was right there in Lancaster with these characters. I want to cry with the characters when something bad happens or something good happens to them. I love the wholesome feeling these stories give me. I love the amish and cannot wait until Wanda comes out with another book or series to read.
