Beginning

Welcome to my blog, thank you for stopping by. If this is your first time to my blog, it's nice to meet you. If you've been here before, welcome back.

My writing journey has begun. The road will have some bumps and detours. I only hope that the first hill is not too high, and the journey is long.

Growing Up in Lancaster County: 4-in-1 Story Collection, Wanda E. Brunstetter, Paperback

These two stories were

written by Wanda E. Brunstetter

and published by: Barbour Publishing, Incorporated

     These two books are a wonderful mix of pleasure and fun! I have been a fan of Wanda E. Brunstetter for years. She brings you into this simple lifestyle with such a great story sense. If you have read any of Wanda’s books, why not open this door to your children. They will love the “misadventures” and pure joy of reading about little Rachel Yoder. I enjoyed reading these two books. I am recommending these books together because once you have read the first you will want to continue on reading about Rachel.
