My Review:

This “Amish Greenhouse Mystery” series has been one of my favorites by author Wanda Brunstetter.  She did an excellent job of allowing us to see these characters grow and change throughout the series.  I was glad that this book focused on Belinda King, the “mom” of the King family.  Belinda has handled sorrow and trouble by depending on God to guide her.  She’s been a strong, faithful support for her children as they adjusted to all the changes in their lives. Now it’s Belinda’s turn to find her own personal happiness again with Herschel and help her children see that all their futures are in God’s hands.  The mystery of the greenhouse is finally solved in this final book of the series.  There are two quite unexpected twists in this storyline that I did not see coming, and the ending to this series was perfect.

If you haven’t read any of the books in this series, I’d recommend that you read them in order.  That way, the surprise ending will have that much more impact when you read it!  As always, I’m looking forward to Wanda Brunstetter’s next series.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

New York Times bestselling author Wanda E. Brunstetter’s inspirational romance novels have captured the hearts of millions of readers and based on personal research intended to accurately portray the Amish way of life has made her Amish Country’s Most Beloved Storyteller. Considered one of the founders of the Amish fiction genre, Brunstetter’s fascination with the simple life began when she met her husband, Richard, who grew up in a Mennonite church with close ties to his family’s Pennsylvania Dutch heritage. Meeting her new Mennonite sisters-in-law caused the author to yearn for the simpler life. Brunstetter’s desire to explore the Amish culture increased when she discovered that her great-great grandparents were part of the Anabaptist faith. In their travels, she and her husband have become close friends with many Amish people across America, and many of her books are read and trusted by the Amish, who credit her for giving readers a deeper understanding of the people and their customs. Whenever she visits her Amish friends, Brunstetter finds herself drawn to their peaceful lifestyle, sincerity and close family ties, which is in stark contrast to the chaos and busyness that plagues so many modern “Englishers.” Time and time again, Brunstetter loses her heart in the Amish life, and she hopes her readers will, too. The author of nearly 100 books translated in four languages and with more than 10 million copies sold, Brunstetter’s stories consistently earn spots on bestseller lists including New York Times, Publishers Weekly, USA Today, CBA, ECPA and CBD.
