Going Home: Brides of Webster County Number 1
by
Wanda E. Brunstetter
Adult Christian Fiction
A yodelling, joke-telling young lady runs away from her restrictive Amish home hoping to make it big as an entertainer. Years later her husband dies and she comes home to rural Webster County, Missouri. Can she be sober enough for the community? Will they lighten up?
This is a clean, gentle read appropriate for a conservative audience, especially teen girls and elderly ladies. If patrons have already read Grace Livingston Hill, Beverly Lewis, and Jan Karon you might recommend this author. It was a tad bland and predictable, but safe and pleasant. I thought that a few questions were unresolved in the end, so that was disappointing.
Here is a hint: Why is the series called "Brides of Webster County"? Do you think that she might get married in the end?
I might read another book by this author, but not in this series and not right away.
