What do You think about Looking For A Miracle (2007)?
I didn't think I would read this book but when I couldn't find anything that was "IN" at the library, I decided to pick it up. It was ok. I mean, it had a pretty good story and I LOVE the fact that it is clean. BUT the conversations were almost painful to read. WAY too formal for me. I've met Amish people before and none of them were *that* formal in their conversations with each other OR with me. I couldn't stand being in a relationship with someone and talking that way. ANYWAY, I won't be reading the 3rd book in this series. My "to-read" list is already long enough!

Looking For A Miracle by Wanda E. Brunstetter is about Rebekah, an Amish young woman who had an accident as a girl and was confined to a wheelchair. It is a slow moving story about how Rebekah struggles with trusting God for her future and is somewhat bitter because of her handicap. I liked how she found a way to become more self-supporting and finally found romance and love. It gives some insight into the Amish community which I found to be interesting and includes a recipe for home-made root beer in the back. I recommend this for anyone who likes to read about the Amish and enjoys a light, predictable read. This is the 2nd book in the "Brides of Lancaster" series.

I enjoyed this book. I appreciated the reminder that we need to be in constant contact with God . . . always seeking His will for our lives . . . and we need to have His help so we do not miss His miracles for us.That said, there were times in the book I just wanted to shake Rebekah and call her “dummkoppe” (loosely translated as a dunce, but used in a teasing reference). Daniel was no better at points. I guess having characters that make you want to shake some sense into them, yet while still wanting the best for them makes it a good novel! :lol:
