Book Review - Apple Creek Announcement - By Wanda E. Brunstetter - 1 August 2022

 


Andrea's life was running along just fine until she made a shocking discovery that threw her for a loop.  She didn't rest until she learned the full truth about her situation.  Other secretive announcements from others connected to this discovery, in turn, put stress on friends, relatives, spouses and a spouse-to-be; a real 'family connection' story.

Besides secrets and the Amish ways, this is also a faith-based book which leans heavily on praying and waiting upon God's will and direction.  There are also good points about forgiveness and overcoming hurt and anger.  

Readers who like pets such as cats and dogs will find Andrea's Lady and Brandan's Duke of interest.  Will these beasts ever get along with one another?

This book has been an easy-going read and reveals more of Amish ways I had not known about, such as how they make their dolls.  There was a nice enough ending, although this story didn't have a huge punch in it for me.  The author rounds out her book with a couple of recipes and some discussion questions regarding some of the issues the characters encountered in the narrative.
