The Hope Jar Wanda E. Brunstetter



Description:


What happens when making an elderly Amish couple very happy means going along with a lie that gets bigger by the day?

Michelle Taylor is not who her new family in Lancaster County believes her to be. The Lapps were looking for their long-lost granddaughter when they met Michelle and she assumed the identity of Sara Murray. Once homeless and hopeless, Michelle has come to love her new Amish friends and even considers the idea of romance among them.

Finding an old blue jar in the barn that is filled with slips of paper containing thoughts, quotes, and prayers by an unknown author becomes a boost to Michelle s budding faith but also convicting. How can she tell the truth without hurting the ones she has truly come to love?

My thoughts on the book:

This book review may contain what some people may think as a spoiler. 
This book is about love, loss, finding hope and forgiveness.  I didn’t like the beginning or the end. In the end I was left with more questions then answers. It feels like their story’s not done that the book kind of end what I thought was abruptly. The middle parts so were good and you feel like you may be able to connect with some of the characters. The characters had depth but I felt like something was also missing. I did feel like the book over all had a little substance to it, it felt very juvenile. Overall the book is a simple read and suitable for all ages it’s a good clean read as well.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion
