White Christmas Pie ~ By Wanda E. Brunstetter ~ Book Review

 

White Christmas Pie is just one of the many books that Wanda E. Brunstetter has written. I love a Good Christmas book to read during December. However, I have been in the mood for Christmas books lately.  This book was perfect. It deals with problems that are getting more relevant in today's society than years gone by. My heart just broke as I read the story of  will and Karen. I smiled when things began to go right for Will. It is a story of simpler times in Amish country. It is a story of forgiveness and understanding. It is a love story on so many levels from family love to the kind of love that draws a man and woman together for a lifetime. It is a book of how each of us deal with our own trials in a different way and how the way we deal with them makes us who we are today.   I was drawn into the story from page one. It kept my interest all the way through.

Although this book is published as fiction/Christian/Romance, it is not preachy. It is a great down to earth book.

I rate this book a 5 star. I recommend it to anyone who wants to read a story of how real people deal with their trials and rise above them to become better people.
