debwilsonSummerfield, FLAge: 18-24Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5December 22, 2013debwilsonSummerfield, FLAge: 18-24Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Katie Yoder's life changed drastically the day her boyfriend was killed in a van accident. Despite the change of scenery in Florida, she finds herself suffering from anxiety attacks and depression. No matter how much she tries, she just can't forget about the accident that took Timothy away from her. As she struggles to move on with her life, she slowly becomes aware of something she hasn't felt in a long time.
Freeman Bontrager has been attracted to Katie since they were in grade school. But while the fears that assail her do not deter him from being her friend, the beautiful Eunice Byler just might. Will Katie ever be able to face her fears and love again? Or will the demons keep her from living a normal live continue to plague her?
This novel brought to light how people with trauma in their past might deal with the tragedy. I was struck by how little I knew of the topic, and how it feels from that point of view. The characters varied from supportive to judgmental, and there was plenty to be learned by all. The author explored the topic with compassion and understanding, and despite the heartache Katie faced, God is ultimately the "peace that passeth all understanding." -

Keren5 Stars Out Of 5Believing In OneselfFebruary 12, 2021KerenQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Every time I read a book from Mrs. Wanda, I love it more and more. This story "A Cousin's Prayer" had me in every feeling possible. The second story in the 3 books. I felt sad for what was happening to Katie, have had a panic attack myself I knew what she was feeling and going through. At the same time I did more than once want to shake Eunice. There probably hasn't been a story where I truly did not like a character as much as I did not like Eunice.
But this story is one that will navigate you through a "emotional" feeling that you hardly read in books and well explained as Panic attacks. I truly liked how Mrs. Wanda explained the feelings Katie felt and went through. Along she molded a great story of love and Faith and Trust. Trust and Faith in God and in oneself to move forward.
As all this is happening, Mrs. Wanda brought Eunice into the story to spice it up a little with all the doubts, selfish and envy someone can have. Not only that but how people can be cruel when not knowing facts base rumors, and lies about someone.
Katie was left with an emotional state right after friends, family and her boyfriend Timothy are in a fatal accident. Blaming herself for the cause of the accident she runs from everything that reminds her of the happy life she had. Emerged into being alone she feels safe. Until her cousin's wedding brings her back to the place she ran from and to the only friend that has loved her since their younger days.
At the end Love conquers everything. Love and Faith in God and in one self.
This book is one of my favorites now of Mrs. Wanda. Love the story, the characters and highly recommend it to everyone. It had me until late at night reading to see what the next page hold.
