About the Book:
Widowed and jobless, Lydia King moves her son and herself to Charm, Ohio, to be close to her mother and help with her grandfather.

Levi Stutzman, another newcomer to the area, is the only one in his family not handicapped by dwarfism and has dedicated his life to caring for them.

My Review:
I can never get enough Amish! I am a die hard Amish fiction fan and the first Amish novelist’s work I read several years ago was Wanda Brunstetter. Since then, I have been hooked on all her work. She’s a wunderbar novelist and each book she writes just gets better and better!
Lydia’s Charm is a wonderful story set in Charm, Ohio. There are so many emotions throughout this novel and each of Wanda’s tenderly created characters portray those emotions flawlessy. Lydia, Levi, Nona and Menno (just to name a few of the awesome characters!) are gripping and true-to-life. They quickly become your family. Each character has a struggle that they are dealing with and through Wanda’s fantastic work, each of those struggles felt like my own, especially Lydia’s. She really reached out to me and tugged my heart. But, Levi…..now THAT is an awesomely sweet character!
Wanda fills this 5 star book with everything from sadness to love and hope. She weaves God’s love and grace through her amazing work, make this novel unforgettable. If you are new to Amish fiction, grab a copy of Lydia’s Charm now….you’ll be forever hooked! If you’re already a Brunstetter fan, then you MUST add this book to your fabulous collection!
