The Brides of Webster County

If you like either Christian romance reading or Amish romance reading you should like this series. I personally liked how this series had all 4 books kind of entertwined. Book One was abouth Faith and where she had originally left the Amish faith ... it begins upon her return home with her six-year old daughter Melinda. Book Three is about Melinda ... so those two books where they are years apart definitely are within the same families... which I truly found interesting. Book Two was about Baraba Zook, whom you get to know in Book One, she has just recently become widowed which is heartbreaking ... and her struggles ... and a young widow with 4 young children. Book Four is about Aaron Zook, the oldest of Barbara's boys so there is again that following of the storyline again years later. I had a bit more trouble with Book Three and Four as I was not as emotionally connected to the two younger adults but I still enjoyed the books. These are the first, but defintely not the last, books that I have read by Wanda E Brunstetter ... I plan on ordering another set very, very soon.

I purchased these books for my elderly mother and the books came as one big book. She loved the series and wants me to find her more of the webster county books so she can continue to read them. Excellent series to read>

This is an excellent series. It is difficult to put down once you begin.

The Brides of Webster County by Wanda E. Brunstetter is four delightful stories in one volume. The name Wanda Brunstetter has become a favorite among fans of romance. "Amish Romance" has become a separate category in the romance genre. While these books are fictional, they give a great insight into the life and beliefs of the Amish. They leave a sense of peace and calmness. The Brides of Webster County focuses on four women in Missouri, each searching their heart concerning their faith.

Great Book. Great author. I have loved every book I have read by this author. The Amish culture brings to us a sense of a family, strength, patience, hard work, strong faith, and a love. They are a great inspiration to everyone. Even though I learn their culture from reading fictional stories...I have taken away a new perspective of things and a new sense of calmness.
