Book Description

Lancaster County’s Samuel Fisher, mired in grief following his wife’s untimely death, looks for healing in Kentucky. Esther Beiler, who watches Samuel’s children part-time, develops a crush on the widower. Will they find a future together in the land of tomorrow?  Or will a series of misunderstandings keep them forever apart?

My Comments: “The Healing” is classic Wanda Brunstetter.  If you enjoy her Amish books, you will love this as well.  Bits and pieces of this story remind me of other books I have read and enjoyed written by Ms. Brunstetter.  The romance in this book is sweet.  I wonder if life in Amishland is really like it is portrayed in these books.  Does anyone have first hand knowledge?

I received my e-copy from NetGalley.
