I am sorry that I didn't post this sooner, like the day after I posted my review on "The Journey". Honestly I thought I had posted them, but apparently with things posting the reviews slipped my mind. So here is "The Healing" and tomorrow will be "The Struggle".
About the Book
Seek a fresh start with Amish widower Samuel Fisher as he journeys from
Lancaster County to Bluegrass Country, hoping to find a balm for the
grief he’s carried with him. Will this single father, burdened by
yesterday’s memories, discover a new and perhaps better life in
Kentucky, the land of tomorrow? Esther Beiler, who helps watch Samuel’s
children, develops a crush on Samuel and a true affection for his kids.
Can she win his heart, or has she already lost it to an English woman?
How will God untangle star-crossed lovers when jealousies and
misconceptions threaten to tear them apart?
This book was released in September 2011
This book is from my own personal collection.
My Review
“The Healing”
by Wanda E. Brunstetter is the second book of her 'Kentucky Brothers
Trilogy' series. It would be helpful to have read “The Journey”
though it is not really vital. We see another member of the Fisher
family, Samuel and this is a journey that he takes along with some
other members of his family.
There are one or
two new characters introduced to the series along with a new story
line, and of course there is the visiting with the Fisher family,
both in Pennsylvanian and Kentucky. This is a story that again uses
several different point of views to get the story told. Through all
the different point of views this story is a wonderful story of
heartache and healing.
This story picks up
shortly, and I mean within days time wise, from the end of “The
Journey”. There is plenty of grief in different forms and from
different causes. It was interesting to see how each person handled
the loss that happened in their life. One suffered greatly while
others suffered slightly, but regardless grief and loss is suffered
for the person it is bad.
This story takes
place over a years time which is good for the story that is being
told. Honestly if it was told in a shorter period of time, then I
think it would have really ruined the story. Though things take
place over a years time, nothing feels rushed or that one is missing
something important. There are some eye opening moments that are not
skipped over, yet not overly detailed. Honestly I have to say that
this story was beautifully and I so thoroughly enjoyed the book even
after reading it once before.
I do usually like
telling people my thoughts of the main characters but is so hard to
do that for there are so many changes that happen. In order to give
people my thoughts on the different characters I will end up giving
away something so important about the story. There is more than just
Ester and Samuel that is for sure and really I can't wait to start
reading the final book in the series “The Struggle”
The end of “The
Healing” gives a pretty good idea as to what the last book of the
series will be about, though hints have been given gently throughout
this story. The final story of the series will hopefully have the
conclusion to one story line that started in this story.
This is a book that
I would highly recommend this book and entire series to those who
enjoy romance and Amish for it is something really worth reading.
