Abby's Journey of Faith

This is the second of the "Daughter's of Lancaster County" series. Abby's tumultuous journey from joy to extreme tragedy, sends her to Montana where she finds her trust and love for God again. It is a very good story even if you don't read the others in the series. I would recommend it.

Overcoming Tragedy and Loss

The Quilter's Daughter is the second book in Wanda Brunstetter's The Daughters of Lancaster County series. The story in this book centers around Abby Miller, who leaves her fiance Lester and her quilt shop in Ohio to go stay with her mother, Frannie Fisher in Lancaster County. One phone call from Ohio changes Abby's life forever. Abby is forced to question her faith, which is shaken and she needs to learn how to cope with the tragedy that has happened to her. The Quilter's Daughter contains all the wonderful characters that we have come to know from The Storekeeper's Daughter. Once you start reading this book, you will not want to put it down.

A Heart of Tragedy and Triumph

Imagine your whole world being tuned upside down within a few minutes. In The Quilter's Daughter, a realistic fiction novel, Wanda E. Brunstetter wrote with vivid words that captivate all the action. As in the author's other book in the series, The Storekeeper's Daughter, included is realistic dialog and visual imagery. This book is fun to read with all of the fun Amish words and information Mrs. Brunstetter incorporated. After reading this novel you will realize that faith, family, and friends can help you overcome the worst of problems. Abby Miller's, the main character, world comes crashing down when her quilt shop burns to the ground and her fiancé, Lester, perishes along with it. She is always so generous with helping other people and not taking care of herself that everyone who meets her falls in love with her instantly. After her mother gives birth to twins she goes to help, she saves a young boy from drowning, and where ever help is needed she is there. It takes the entire loving atmosphere around Abby to help her cope though the loss. Through this whole experience Abby finds herself and her calling in life. Will her heart ever heal? Will she find her love in quilting ever again? As she learns in the end how to answer these questions she will have faced many emotions, triumphs, and challenges. I very much enjoyed reading this book in the few weeks it took me to read it. Over the time I read it I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. Most of the time I felt sad, but when a happy time came I grasped onto it remembering it throughout the story. Anyone and every one of all ages would enjoy this book of courage and strength. After you start reading this book you can barely put it down. It reminds me of the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. The girls were apart but they still remained in a close friendship that overcame many obstacles. Remember use your faith, friends, and family to get through the worst of times.

The Quilter's Daughter(Daughter's of Landcaster County)

This author has the capacity to keep you spellbound until you finish the book. She hasn't disappointed me yet. I used to live in Ohio close to the Amish and visited there on auction day and flea market day. Their quilts were beautiful and I love reading about the lives of the Amish. So much of what this author wrote about I observed and the book brought all to life again. I can't wait until the next in the series is in the market. Pat

Amish admirer

I loved the Quilter's Daughter (as well as the Store Keepers Daughter). I eagerly stayed up late to finish the last page. It has a good conclusion with hints of the sequel. A few places seemed like the rough draft, but all in all, a very lovely story to follow!

Abby' Life.

Abby has taken over her mother's quilt shop in Ohio-- but for now she has left to go to PA to assist her mom who is pregnant at 47. In Abby's absence, she leaves her fiance's mother to run her shop in Ohio. We learn much about Abraham and Fannie's family and learn that little Zach is still missing after having been kidnapped 5-6 years ago. However, his adoptive parents have their part in this book as well. The guilt over the kidnapping has turned his daddy into a bitter, angry man who is on the verge of a breakdown. As if things could not become any more complicated, a horrible accident occurs which changes Abby's life completely and she nearly gives up on living. Enter a quiet, shy Amishman to help her recover. Quilters and quilts play a large role in this second book of the series. I am anxious for book 3.

A Wonderful Winter Read!

Wanda has traveled back into Amish country for this book's plot. Abby Miller has alot of her plate and tragedy is just around the corner. Her strong faith that she was taught in her strict Amish community is shaken when things don't go her way. Lucky for her, tragedy helps mend a broken heart. This is a wonderful book to curl up and read this winter. Sicily Yoder Author of, "Amish Cooking with Sicily Yoder", and "Leaving Lancaster County."
