Review

4 STARS! This Amish romance novel is the second in the Indiana Cousins series. In typical Brunstetter fashion, the characters and storyline are well crafted. Many readers will emphathize with Katie's conflicted feelings. A recipe for banana nut cake is also included. (LESLIE MCKEE ROMANTIC TIMES 2009-09-01)

A Cousins Prayer is a good read. I enjoyed the different cast of characters, each one representing some sort of problem that everyday people experience. I like the way the panic, and anxiety attacks, are brought out in the storyline, and how others can misinterpret things. Wanda E. Brunstetter spins a read that show how everyone can learn something from the Amish with their simple and pleasant life. They share love, duties, commitment, and family, the same way as any other person, but they seem to know how to enjoy life to its fullest. This is a story that will not only bring a smile but warm the heart.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Wanda Brunstetter is an award-winning romance novelist who has led millions of readers to lose their heart in the Amish life. She is the author of over 100 books with more than 12 million copies sold. Many of her books have landed on the top bestseller lists, including the New York Times, USA Today, Publisher's Weekly, CBA, ECPA, and CBD. Wanda is considered one of the founders of the Amish fiction genre, and her work has been covered by national publications, including Time Magazine and USA Today.

Wanda's fascination with the Amish culture developed when she met her husband, Richard, who grew up in a Mennonite church, and whose family has a Pennsylvania Dutch heritage. Meeting her new Mennonite sister-in-laws caused Wanda to yearn for the simpler life. In their travels, she and her husband have become close friends with many Amish people across America. Wanda's desire to explore their culture increased when she discovered that her great-great grandparents were part of the Anabaptist faith.

All of Wanda's novels are based on personal research intended to accurately portray the Amish way of life. Many of her books are well-read and trusted by the Amish, who credit her for giving readers a deeper understanding of the people and their customs.

Wanda's primary attraction to the Amish is their desire to live a devout Christian life that strives to honor God, work hard, and maintain close family ties. Whenever she visits her Amish friends, Wanda finds herself drawn to their peaceful lifestyle, sincerity, and close family ties, which is in stark contrast to the chaos and busyness that plagues so many modern "Englishers." Time and time again, Wanda loses her heart in the Amish life, and she hopes her readers will, too. For more information, visit: www.WandaBrunstetter.com

Very Good!

I am an avid reader of Wanda Brunstetter books. I have to say that this series, was written in 2009, are written very differently than her older books. Her style of writing changes through the years, and I personally like her earlier books better. In her earlier books she makes it so you don't want to put the book down, and has a good flow of interest and has long courting period within the characters. In these later books, she tends to get stuck in the day to day life of the characters, there is no courting at all, just common interests and conversations, then at the very end, she puts the couples together, really losing the romance of the book. Still, there is no other Author that writes better about the Amish Community, and I will continue to read her books as long as she writes them.

God-Family-Challenges-Life: the order of one's committment

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2017

There are three books that go together: A Cousin's Prayer A Cousin's Promise & A Cousin's Challenge. They speak of family love & loyalty.
That with God anything is possible. Tragedies are our test of faith, & with them we grow stronger. God has plans for us but sometimes it's not even close to what we thought they would be. Because of that we need to be opened minded & give God's plans for us a chance. In the end it proves to be just what was needed for our happiness. After becoming a Navy Corpsman I thought Nursing was in my plans. But the Lord had other plans that have turned out perfect for me. I have been married now for over 40 years to the most loving man one can imagine. We have three sons, 2 precious daughter-in-laws, 8 grandchildren & 1 great-grandson. I'm not a nurse but I helped raise three strong men who have the same integrity as my husband & myself. These stories are a reminder of what life is really about. God's plans for us. Love of family. Facing our worldly challenges with the strength of faith. Last but not least we have been given a precious life to grow & become a better person.

This story really hit home with me. I too have suffered with panic attacks, and the symptons described in the story were some of the same symptons that I have experienced. I understood Katie's fears of being misjudged, and her reluctance to taking medications. However, I had to take the medication, because after refusing to take it for two years my symptons got worse and worse and I was rushed to the emergency room two times before I would accept medication and counseling. I am well on the road to recovery now, and so far I have had no adverse side effects to the medications. I listened to this one three times before I filed it away with the others. I love the way Wanda Brunstetter decribes the weather, the food, the thoughts of the characters, etc. One can really get a feel of actually being right there somewhere in Indiana (Topeka in the case) Keep up the good work Wanda, they bring me great comfort.
Can some tell me how to access the PDF after it has been inserted into the computer?? Thank you

If you are a fan of Amsih romances, you will enjoy this book. Wanda Brunstetter writes realistic and heartfelt characters that you actually grow to care about. This is one of three books in the Indiana Cousins series. The best thing about Amsih romances is that there is absolutely NO smut, just good clean reading and interesting characters.

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2009

A Cousin's Prayer is a thought provoking story of a young Amish girl, Kate who cannot seem to get her life back together after a terrible automobile accident that killed her beloved. I did have a problem with Kate who at first refused to allow anyone to share her pain and wouldn't let anyone help her out of her grief and guilt. But did everything come out happy in the end? You have to read the book yourself to see. Colleen B.
