The Beginner's Quilt

One of Wanda Brunstetter’s favorite series, The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club now has a wonderful prequel in Mrs. Brunstetter’s The Beginner’s Quilt. Thanks to Wanda, we now know Emma’s story, and it a story worth reading. The Beginning Quilt is extremely powerful story of young love. Part of the reason this is such a good book is that Wanda Brunstetter can take such unremarkable people and situations and make them remarkable. Emma Bontrager is just that person. Her mother sends her to her grandmother’s in order to learn how to cook and sew in order to become a good Amish wife. There she met Ivan Yoder, a fine young man who had many of the same interests as Emma. The character development is well done and the interesting storyline could not be better. The unimaginable happens, and Emma returns home heartbroken. Join Emma and Ivan on their journey together in Wanda Brunstetter ‘s latest novel. It is 5stars all the way. Thank you Barbour Publishing for allowing me to read an ARC of this book. All opinions are mine and I was not required to give a positive review.
