What happens when making an elderly Amish couple very happy means going along with a lie that gets bigger 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 containing thoughts, quotes, and prayers by an unknown author becomes a boost to Michelle’s budding faith— but also convicting. How can she tell the truth without hurting the ones she has truly come to love?

My Review:
"The Hope Jar " (The Prayer Jars, Book 1) by Wanda E. Brunstetter is a story of betrayal, hope and forgiveness and love.
If you like other's books written by Wanda Brunstetter, you'll love "The Hope Jar ".
The story is about an older Amish couple who accepts a stranger as their granddaughter and the stranger who comes to love them.
While doing chores she finds a jar with prayers written on scraps of paper and it helps to bring her to God.

The story is about an older Amish couple who accepts a stranger as their granddaughter and the stranger who comes to love them.
While doing chores she finds a jar with prayers written on scraps of paper and it helps to bring her to God.
Meanwhile, the real granddaughter is thinking the grandparents don't want to meet.
While reading, "The Hope Jar" I was hoping to found out the writer of these prayers and why. Guess, that will be revealed in another book.
I don't think I have a favorite character in this book, because I feel that each character in this book is important to the story and not used as an extra person.
I am eagerly awaiting book 2 in this series.
Oh, this story has a love triangle too. Who gets the girl?
This is a wonderful story of Amish meets the English.
Once again, Wanda E. Brunstetter has written a book that touches the heart and makes her readers believe in the power of love and forgiveness.
I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own
