Christian

I always appreciate that author Wanda E. Brunstetter doesn't portray the Amish as never experiencing problems or heartaches and Going Home is a thought-provoking Amish story that shows how the desire for fame and fortune can change the way a person believes. Faith admits that she was a rebellious teenager who left her Amish upbringing to join the English world and she also realizes that her marriage wasn't happy. Even worse, she understands that she grieves more for the loss of a manager than the loss of a husband. These painful realizations prompt her to steer clear of another romantic involvement! "I'll never marry again--that's for certain sure. It would be hard to trust another man."

And then, Noah Hetzler becomes a part of her life and suddenly, the Amish lifestyle becomes much more appealing. Noah's strong Christian witness shows Faith what she's lost and in a moment of revelation, Faith understands that "She must rely wholy on the Lord to meet her needs. No amount of money or recognition could fill the void in a person's heart the way Jesus' love did". Has her return to faith come too late? Will this prodigal daughter be allowed to raise her daughter in the Amish culture that she now fully appreciates? Is it possible for Faith to remain in Webster County?

Going Home is a heartwarming story of forgiveness and redemption and I recommend it to all who enjoy Amish romance. ( )

Faith comes home after living in the English world. She has her daughter in tow with her. What happen to Faith Stutzman Andrews and her daughter. Faith is widowed but what happen to her husband and what makes her to come home.

Noah is enjoying with doing things in the kitchen rather then work in the fields. Noah seem to like help other out and make them feel better. Will Noah be able to help Faith? Their seem to be rules that Faith must follow when she returns back to her parents home.

Will Faith decide to stay or will she leave once again. Noah seem like he likes Faith and her daughter. The author does well with this story. It show that it okay to return back home. Will Faith and Noah find love with each other? It seem that Wanda does this. I remember bit and parts about this story when I read it about seven years ago. I would love to reread it in audio book if I ever get the chance.

This book is worth reading. If you are a fan of christian fiction or even Amish fiction. Wanda is a really good storyteller and this story is no different. ( )

There is something comforting about the way Wanda E. Brunstetter writes. Her books are just something you can slip into bed get all cozy and then slip into a story that makes you feel good. This was the first book I read by her and I was surprised I enjoyed because I had not read any Christian Fiction before. The characters where funny, and inviting. The Amish settings is interesting and romanticized a little I think but I still enjoyed it. If you are looking for something simple, fun and with some religious meaning to read then I suggest this book. You get so invovled in the settings and characters that you feel like you are there eating with them, playing with them and working with them. I think partly the author realizes this as well because she sometimes adds extras at the end of the book like recipes that the character made in the book, which is nice to see. This is the first book in the Webster County Series and following it is On Her Own and Dear to Me. ( )

"Forced to return to her Amish home and ask for help raising her daughter, Faith Andrews meets local bachelor Noah Hertzler, who loves baking and helping others, and who makes the home she left seem much more attractive."
