Allison's Journey (Wanda E Brunstetter)


Growing up with her impatient, disinterested aunt and five older brothers, Allison Troyer is more comfortable playing ball than keeping house. Now, the nineteen-year-old tomboy must learn to run an Amish household. But a future of domestic bliss is hopeless; her lack of femininity will repel any potential husband. Aaron Zook and his family have finally recovered from the heartache of their father's death. Refusing to revisit such pain, Aaron vows never to marry. When his baseball team gets stuck with the new girl, aggravation quickly changes to admiration. Allison is like no girl he has ever met... and he likes that. Will Allison's journey in life take her in another direction, just when love seemed possible? Fall in love with this inspiring love story and our entire collection of Christian romance novels from Heartsong Presents!
Book #4 of Brides of Webster County Series. I have really enjoyed this series. It is an easy read and a cute love story.

On Her Own & Dear to Me (Wanda E Brunstetter)

(Book 2 of Series) When Barbara Zook's husband David is killed unexpectedly on their tenth wedding anniversary, she doesn't know how she will be able to go on. Not only has she lost the love of her life, but she is also pregnant with their fourth child. How can Barbara raise four children and run David's beloved harness shop? When Paul Hilty left Webster County, he knew it hurt his father that he chose harness making over farming. Paul loves the feel and smell of leather more then anything, but with David Zook already in business, he knew he had to move. Now David is gone and Barbara is in need. Could the Lord be leading him home again? Will Barbara remain on her own, or will the Lord bring Paul into her life...and her heart?


(Book 3 of Series) Melinda Andrews loves deeply. She often pours that love into caring for hurt animals and sketching the deer that live in the woods behind her farm. This regularly gets her into trouble with her "maam" and "daed," who feel she shirks her duties to "tend to her critters." Gabe Swartz loves Melinda and wants to make her his wife, but even he has a hard time understanding why she seems to prefer the company of her animal friends to him. Worlds collide when Melinda delivers an ultimatum: Gabe must agree to give up hunting, a hobby he loves and believes to be useful, or she won't marry him. Will Melinda and Gabe be able to overcome their differences, or will they end up losing their chance for love and marriage?
These two books have been re-written, but I was unable to find the newer versions of them in the library. The newer versions go into more detail, but these give you the main points of the story so you can understand what is going on in the other books of the series, Brides of Webster County.

Going Home (Wanda E Brunstetter)

Faith Stutzman Andrews left her Missouri Amish community ten years ago to pursue her career as a comedian. Now widowed, Faith shows up on her parents' doorstep with her six-year-old daughter in tow. Will the lure of the English world prove too strong for Faith, or will she discover that home is where her heart is? Confirmed bachelor Noah Hertzler often bakes desserts that he gives to others, attaching verses of Scripture to each culinary delight in the hopes of soothing the soul as well as nourishing the body. Can Noah's tactics heal a shattered Faith before she runs away again?
