My Thoughts
I am so happy that I had the chance to read The Return To The Big Valley. More specifically, Wanda Brunstetter’s Wilma’s Wish. Once again, Brunstetter has managed to create a beautiful, heart warming story that instantly captured me and made me fall in love with her characters!
Wanda Brunstetter takes us once again to the heart of the Amish country. She vividly portrays her characters and their homes, bringing them to life for the reader. You truly get to know Wilma, Israel, and the rascally nephews and become a part of their family. It was such a fun time!
That one was my favorite of the novellas, though, certainly, the others are beautifully written and filled with heart stealing characters, as well. This is one of my favorite Amish collections this year and I am looking forward to recommending this 4 star to read to all of my family and friends! Well done, ladies!
