Goodbye To Yesterday

Inspirational Amish

GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY by Wanda E. Brunstetter is the first book in her new series, The Discovery. It is a six book series and each book is 128 pages. In GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY you will meet Meredith and Luke Stoltzfus. Luke is laid off from his wood working job at the furniture store and they are just getting by. He needs to find a new way to earn an income so he can take care of his newlywed wife. Just when he is more depressed and worried that nothing is going to give, he gets an offer from his Uncle in Indiana.

At first, Meredith does not want Luke to travel all the way to Indiana by bus on the treacherous winter roads. She is so afraid something is going to happen but Luke convinces her that he is only going to be gone for a few weeks and that he will be fine. She tries to keep herself busy until he gets back. If she doesn't, she will kill herself with worry. She cleans their house from top to bottom the first day. Then the second day she goes to her doctor for an issue she is sure she has. After she leaves the doctor she really can't wait to talk to Luke and tell him what is going on. But she won't do it on the phone. She must wait until he comes back to Pennsylvania. How is she going to be able to wait so long to tell him? You are going to have to read the book to find it! I'm not giving anything away.

Wanda sure has a way with pulling you into the lives and struggles of Luke and Meredith. I was instantly wrapped up in their lives and problems. There is a big cliff hanger at the end of this book so I suggest you have book number two, The Silence of Winter ready to go before you finish this one.

I always enjoy Wanda's books and find them very inspirational. GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY does not disappoint. I really enjoy these mini novels as it breaks up a regular length novel for those people, who may not have the time to devote to a full size book. What a great idea. It's a perfect way to introduce Amish Fiction to a reader who has never read this genre before.

GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY proves my point once again as to why Wanda Brunstetter is one of my favorite Amish authors.
