I received a complimentary copy of A
SHINING LIGHT by Judith Miller from Bethany House. It is the third book in the Home to Amana series. Sadly, I haven’t read the others in the
series yet, but after finishing this one, I definitely will.
Perhaps you’re wondering how good
this book is. Well, I got home from work
and found the book sitting in my mailbox.
It had been a tiring day, so I sat back with a cup of tea and decided to
lose myself in a chapter or two before dinner.
Five chapters later, I realized that I really did need to eat. While I ate, I researched Amana
Colonies. I had never heard of them
before.
The Amana Colonies were seven
villages “built and settled by German Pietists,” according to Wikipedia. I researched them some more, and now have a
strong urge to visit the tourist attraction of today.
Back to A SHINING LIGHT, Andrea
Wilson is a widow who takes her son, Lukas, to stay with an Amana village. You will smile, you will sniffle, and you
will fall in love with the characters you meet.
You will also crave more knowledge about the Amana Colonies.
In case you’re wondering, I started
the book back up as soon as I finished dinner and didn’t stop until I had
turned the last page with a sigh.
