I received a copy of GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY by Wanda E.
Brunstetter from Barbour Publishing via Handlebar. It is the first novel (part one of six) in
the Discovery series. I was extra thrilled to receive this book
because my mother is obsessed with the Amish lifestyle, so I will get to share
this story with her. In the past, we’ve
both read others by Wanda E. Brunstetter in the Daughters of Lancaster County series. This is another story that takes place in
Lancaster County, in particular Bird-in-Hand, which is a vacation destination for
my family. We visit there every
summer.
GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY involves newlyweds Luke and
Meredith. Luke has lost his job, so the
family lives off savings and what few pieces of furniture he manages to
sell. They struggle to get by, which causes
tensions. Meanwhile, Meredith hopes –
and worries – that she’s pregnant. Luke
receives a phone call from his Uncle Amos in Indiana offering him to chance to
learn the gravestone engraving business.
Even though Meredith doesn’t want Luke to go, he decides to journey by
bus to Indiana to buy the business. Look
for book two to find out what happens next!
I recommend this to Amish fans. The novel is fast-paced; I was able to read
it in a little over an hour. I would
have preferred more descriptions, though, of the setting, characters, and Amish
lifestyle.
