The Healing (Kentucky Brothers)
This is a warm and wonderful story of love that is lost, grief that must be endured, lives that must move on, caring and loving that can never afford to wane, and the healing power of prayer, support, friends, family, and one's devotion and faith in God. Interwoven in Samuel and Esther's story is the continuation of Titus and Suzanne's courtship as Samuel's needs and concerns almost overwhelm their relationship and place some significant pressures on their future life together. No matter what one's faith practice or belief, these stories set within the Amish context are so very readable, wonderfully entertaining, filled with graceful and loving people, and instructive as to an alternate way of approaching life's dilemmas. They are the kind of stories we can proudly give to your teens and know that there is still real living involved without the dark and negative approach to problem-solving. Add in the fact that this author has been engaging the interest of readers for years with over 85 published novels and you have a novel that is well worth the time and effort to read, is instructive and entertaining, and leaves the reader me, anyway, feeling like I deeply satisfied. --Judith Hirsch-FikejsDr. J's Book Place2011-08-15The second in the Kentucky Brothers series, this book could stand alone. A family tree is included to help with the characters. In true Brunstetter fashion, rich details and plausible situations abound. Though the narrative is somewhat predictable, it is an enjoyable read. --Leslie L. McKeeRT Book Reviews2011-09-01
