Publisher's Description:
Marlena Wenger's life takes an unexpected turn on the day she learns she must care for her estranged sister's baby. Spending the summer in Brownstown, Pennsylvania, to assist her Mennonite grandmother, and miles from Marlena's Old Order Amish beau, she feels out of her element in nearly every respect. Yet Marlena determines to do her best and stay focused on her future, even as those hopes become drastically altered.

I have always enjoyed Beverly Lewis' Amish stories. Each one she pens allows me to learn more about their faith, love of family, and reliance on the Almighty. The Love Letters opens the door a bit wider as I learned about sects that have broken from the Old Order faith - the Mennonites and New Order churches. We meet not only Marlena and her family, but also the Bitners next door. As "Small Jay" Bittner steps out in faith to befriend a homeless man, he unknowingly begins a chain of events that ultimately affect his whole family.
My rating: 4 out of 5

I received a complimentary copy of The Love Letters for my honest review.
Happy Reading,
Ellen
