I really enjoyed these three novellas and highly recommend them it.
Wanda Brunstetter's writing tends to captivate you....
You are able to be the 'fly on the wall' as people tend to say.
I found this to be a very easy read, and I truly loved the last two stories in this novella - you truly felt for Ernie's family in' Dear Teacher' - very heart warming story ob how love has no boundaries - at least that is what I came away with.
The latter of three touched my heart in a personal way as I am a cancer patient and we have talked about where to go for the next chapter ( as we call it ), as I have asked my husband to find love again - as in "Twice Loved"; not always an easy topic of conversation but I applaud the way in which the subject of loving again, was weaved together through this story, very touching,lovingly.
My goodness, I truly appreciate the writings of Wanda Brunstetter.
If I had a complaint it would be that each story was too short... but then, they would not be called "novellas" if they were longer....
Happy Reading!

I enjoyed this book a lot, because it has 3 stories in 1. Daddy's Girl was so true to life and the experience of a young Pastor taking on his first church.
The Teacher was a good lesson on not judging and the experience as a female teacher and the hardships.
I think anyone would enjoy this book, again by a great author, Brunstetter!!

Very simple and quick read. I finished it in a day and half. Plots were simple, characters were ok. I agree with another reviewer that it would have been better as a whole book or even 2 stories. I liked the first and third, but struggled through the second story line. More detail would have been nice. Ok for a summer read.

This book could have been better if instead of 3 books in 1, they took each book and make it into a bigger book. The last 2 books were good, (especially "Twice Loved") but they could have been better if the author could have put more details into the book. It seemed that everything was so rushed. I personally did not like the 1st book, I had to almost force myself to finish reading it. If I paid for it, then I want to read it from cover to cover.
Other than that, it was a good book.

I was excited to read this book as soon as I saw the cover. It drew my interest immediately. But once I got the book I was disappointed---the last two stories are reprints from two other books that I already own. I have no problem with reissues as long as the publisher makes that fact plain to begin with--otherwise I feel that I have been tricked.
The stories themselves are great, albeit a little short. Just make sure you know what you are getting.

These short stories were good, though I had already the last one somewhere. They do make you feel like you haven't gotten the whole story because they are so short.

I haven't read much historical fiction but I really liked these stories. The two set in Pennsylvania were decidedly special for me. I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, not too far from the Leheigh Canal and Easton. My husband grew up in one of the towns that still has a lock and you can walk the towpath along the canal.
In each story, each woman has her own loss of love. But each of their stories are different -- a woman who can't believe God can love her with her background -- a woman who thinks she's not pretty enough to be loved -- a woman not ready to be loved again. Each woman has her own strengths and her own vulnerabilities. I learned something from each woman and from wouldn't mind meeting them again someday. Thank you Wanda!

Daddy's Girl-
Glenna Moore & David Green meet on a trail. Glenna and her father are heading to Granger, Wyoming. They have been kicked out of another town and it was leave or let her father get shot. He was a gambler. He cheated others and drank too much. Glenna herself lied and cheated to cover for her father. Ever since her mother died in childbirth they had been moving from town to town.
David is heading to Idaho City to become a pastor at a church there. He notices the beautiful dark haired girl and wonders how the drunken older man is related to her.
Glenna gets up to get some air while her father is gambling and David follows her. When her father comes down to them he looks angry. He had told David to stay away. Instead her father jumps over the rail of the train. Thinking he must have died and left her alone in the world, David offers marriage. It seems his church thinks he has a wife. David also tells Glenna about Christ and salvation.
David has a past of his own to tell Glenna about. Good story.
Dear Teacher-
This is such a heart warming story.
Ernie Snyder has a boat and works bringing coal on his boat along the canal. He is raising is children on his own being his wife died.
Judith King is the new schoolmarm. When she meets Ernie and his children in the general store she finds out that his children will start school in a month or so when the weather is too cold for them to be using the canal.
Ernie is attracted to the teacher but feels she could never care for someone like him who only finished the 4th grade. Judith feels unattractive. She is taller then most women and she has one blue and one brown eye.
We see Ernie struggling through the book to even talk to the "purty" teacher and is shyness is endearing.
Twice Loved-
Dan's wife Darcy died of leukemia two years ago. Bev's husband died while at war four years ago. They bumped into each other at Bev's work while he was there. He noticed the woman had been crying.
Bev has just lost her job to a returning soldier who held the position before her. She sees a help wanted in the paper for Twice Loved. Darcy had started the store for the children during the war. They gave away toys and helped the families. When Bev applies it takes them a bit to recognize each other from their quick meeting.
Dan is taken with Bev's six year old daughter, Amy. Darcy and him had never had children. As the two of them grow closer they keep trying to put distance between them as the memories of their late spouses are still there.
Another great story and wonderful characters.
