I was not given a complimentary copy of this book to read and review. I was not approached to post a favorable response. I have rated this story with five stars for meeting my expectations of a wonderful story that I can highly recommend to others.
Congratulations to Wanda Brunstetter on writing another inspiring story for her readers enjoyment.
This is such a heartwarming story! It takes place in the fall and Christmastime, though it’s not overly Christmasy! I enjoyed this book, right in the middle of Spring. It’s a great read for any time of year! I find it interesting that even with all of my knowledge about Amish and traditional Amish dishes, White Christmas Pie is one I had never heard of, so it was neat that the story unfolded around this special holiday dish. And, as is true with so many of Wanda’s books, the recipe for the pie is included at the end of the story. The main character certainly has his share of turmoil, and is hesitant to accept good things in life because of the pain he carries from his past. He is a relatable character, and works through a lot of deeply personal issues as he attempts to move on from boyhood to manhood. There are Englisch (non-Amish) and Amish characters that interact together in the story, which makes the story very realistic! Make sure that you have enough time to sit and finish the story by the time you reach Chapter 26, because you will not be able to put it down until you know how the story ends! It’s a wonderful, inspirational book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Amish fiction, Christian fiction, or books that just make you feel good. It’s a great reminder that there is room in our lives for all kinds of family!
I found the Amish White Christmas Pie to be a satisfying and heat-touching read. Will Henderson, the major character, was left with an childless Amish couple to be raised after his mother passes away and his father can’t care for him while working as a truck driver. Will’s father had meant to return for him, but why didn’t he? After being raised in an AMish household, Will joins the Amish church and meets a wonderful girl he is engaged to marry. While Will is happy that he had a good life, he has internal feelings about his father that affect his faith and trust. Can he move past these feelings and forgive his father? Unbeknowst to Will, his father has issues of his own and guilt for leaving Will all those years ago. Both parties must face their feelings and regrets when the chance to meet comes. But when Will is hurt in an accident, both his Amish and English families must come together, and faith and forgiveness are the keys to the future. This book was a wonderful story that I really enjoyed. I loved seeing the characters grow in their faith and for them to find an ending that brought everyone happiness and a future they could look forward to together.
