The Hope Jar by Wanda E Brunstetter - Review of the first book in the Prayer Jars series




BACK  OF  THE  BOOK  BLURB
A HOMELESS GIRL FINDS AN UNLIKELY FAMILY

What happens when making an elderly Amish couple very happy means going along with a lie that becomes more complex by the day?

Michelle Taylor is not who her new family in Lancaster County believes her to be. The Lapps were looking for their long-lost granddaughter when they met Michelle and she assumed the identity of Sara Murray. Once homeless and hopeless. Michelle has come to love her new Amish friends and even considers the idea of romance among them.

Finding an old blue jar in the barn that is filled with slips of paper with handwritten thoughts, quotes, and prayers by an unknown author encourages Michelle's budding faith---but she also finds herself feeling convicted. How can she tell the truth without hurting the ones she has truly come to love?


MY  REVIEW
I usually enjoy Wanda Brunstetter books, as I did this one, but I did find it pretty 'predictible'. What I mean is that I could tell what was going to happen before I turned the page in so many instances in this book. The story is an inspirational one and Michelle seemed to have remorse for what she was doing, how she appeared to be turning her life around even while living a lie, so that was good. You will have to read the book to see if she did actually come clean and change her life, or not.
