Book: Letters of Comfort (Book 2 of "The Friendship Letters.")
Author: Wanda E. Brunstetter
Publisher: Barbour
320 pages, paperback.
This story deals with depression. It begins with a tragic accident which I found difficult to read. As the characters started to heal from the effects of the accident, it was very depressing. I had to take breaks from reading because it was a bit overwhelming. However, I wanted to know how the story would turn out so I kept reading.
It was hard for me to believe the characters were Amish because they did not seem to be focused on home life, but on working outside the home, etc. (This was probably a misunderstanding on my part.) The story includes information about a health food store, training horses, dealing with the death of a loved one, and recovering from painful physical injuries. Overall the book is well written. It is wholesome, but sad.
The book includes some bonus features in the back. There is a recipe for apple muffins, discussion questions, and a letter from the author about dealing with depression.
