She's nearly out of money; can she somehow manage to provide for herself and her baby-alone?

I am very disappointed with the number of pages in each book. It takes 3books to make up approximately 300pages. I feel @ $5 ea and 6 booklet type books, that the cost is approximately $30 and equal to 2 larger books. Had I realized they were only 100 pg books, I would not have ordered the booklets.

Wanda's books show how with faith and God you can get through anything. In this book Luke is in the hospital and has become unresponsive. Meredith is grieving over her husband's death. She almost lost her baby so she is now living with her parents. The community pulls together to help her out. In the last paragraph Luke wakes up? Will Luke remember who he is? I can't wait to read the next book and find out what happens next in book 4 of the series.

Wanda had another great installment in the series Discovery. Meredith Stoltzfus is a pregnant Amish woman. She is coping after finding out her husband was killed. The community works together to help her. I can't imagine what she is going through. I love how Wanda keeps us wanting to read more. Will Luke remember who he is? If you are wanting a good read with the power of faith and family then you have a great saga to read. Defiantly recommended to every reader out there.

Luke is confused about his identity and so are those caring for him. Meredith is home and pregnant grieving the "death" of her husband, Luke. Another friend, looks like he may become more than that to Meredith, comes to her help with her home and baby preparations. Who will she choose? Will she even know she has a choice before one is made? A good read from one of my favorite authors.

Wow! Wanda's characters once again are overcoming their trials and disappointments with their faith in God. Plus the quiet and gentle ways of other Chirstians ministry to those hurting--especially toward Meredith and Luke in their own special ways. I cannot wait to see what happens in Book 4 of this great series--will Luke remember Meredith when he's fully awake? And will Meredith continue loving Luke or will her heart fall for another believing Luke is deceased? Great series and one where you cannot put the book down until completed!!

Meredith has done a fairly good job coping with the news that Luke has been killed. My heart goes out to her. I shutter to think what I would be like if I lost my husband and I have 4 children to raise and I, too, don't have a job. It would be so difficult. Her family and friends have rallied around her to help her in this time of crisis. I am concerned, though, that Luke may not remember who he is now that he has awakened in the very last paragraph. I can't wait to find out how Sarah and Anne will help him connect with his wife and family.

I purchased this series for the church library. No one can wait for the next book to arrive. Some wish she had written it as one book.
Wanda Brunstetter's books are great examples of Faith, love and simple living. We need them in today's society.

Once again the author kept the pages turning in this book. I was on pins and needles hoping Meredith would not lose her baby. I love how family and friends come together to help Meredith out. I am a bit worried about Jonah Miller I might add. Is he just a friend or is he hoping for more than just friendship?
Will Meredith be able to cope on her own? Will she be able to hang on to her house and land since money is so tight? I can't wait until Part 4, The Pieces of Summer, is published. Such an exciting Saga!

I read Book 2 and Book 3 in one night as I was so anxious to know what would happen for Meredith and the young man in the coma. A lovely young nurse, Susan, is caring for the unknown young man and even accidentally meets Meredith while shopping at the market in Pennsylvania's Amish country. An old friend, Jonas, has moved to the area and has rekindled his friendship with Meredith. Jonas is seeking to help Meredith get the house ready for the new boppli, but his parents fear that the community will get the wrong idea with him paying frequent visits to an expectant, recently widowed young woman. She comes up with a plan to raise money that won't be too stressful to her or the baby, but I won't spoil the book for readers. I know that I am already getting ready to read Book 4. Wonder what the future holds for dear sweet Meredith?
