Great heart warming Christmas story.

[Molly J(Cover To Cover Cafe)]

It's Fall. It's time for all things Fall-y, Halloween-y and best of all? Christmas-y! So, when I saw that Ms. Brunstetter was releasing The Christmas Prayer, I jumped on the chance! I love a good novella that's filled with snow, history and best of all? Wanda Brunstetter's addictive characters. This book had it all and so much more, for such a small, quick read.

Sitting down to read this, we are taken to history, during the 1850's, and introduced to some amazing, fun loving characters. Each character has something different for the story, each of their journeys for a different reason, but with God, prayer and unforgettable messages, these characters make being snowed in, a fun treat!

Ms. Brunstetter is the type of author who can write 5 star books across the genre grid. From Amish fiction to historical romance, she can bring the reader to the heart of the story instantly, and keep them their til the very last page is turned. Once you're finished, you want more. She's that good. Ms. Brunstetter is my top author when it comes to historical and Amish romances. If you are looking for a 5 star, winter-y read to set the mood for Christmas this year, look no further than this amazing, soul moving novella! Well done, Ms. Brunstetter! Well done!

A journey along the California Trail

Six adults join forces to travel to California by wagon. Each has a different goal in mind in this short historical novel.

Cynthia’s journaling is used to share many details of the trek, though many of the characters lend their voice in describing the journey. Other than the diary entries, the story is told in third-person.

Cynthia is very dedicated to her mother and helping to meet her needs, even at the cost of her own happiness. I liked the way she went from timid to becoming more confident.

The story is a short one. Due to the details given and the necessary background information, it felt as if there weren’t many pages left to really draw me in, allow me to fall in love with the characters, or be invested in their journey.
