Lenore Lapp is an Amish schoolteacher in her late twenties still
living at home with her parents and grandparents. She thought love had
passed her by until she meets Jesse Smucker, a widower with a baby
daughter. She quickly falls in love with them both and accepts Jesse’s
proposal of marriage, but Jesse breaks off their engagement when he
realizes he can’t marry only for convenience.
Resigned to
living single, Lenore throws herself into caring for her elders. While
working in her grandmother’s garden, she digs up an old jar. Will Lenore
find healing for her broken heart and solve long-buried family secrets
by reading the note contained inside?
...my thoughts...
The long awaited conclusion to Wanda E. Brunstetter's series, The Prayer Jars, is here! The Healing Jar is
Lenore's story. One day in the barn, she found the long hidden prayer
jar, and found solace in the words tucked inside. The mystery of this
jar and another, found on a shelf in the dark basement, piqued the
interests first of Michelle, then Sara. Now Lenore sits in wonder at
these words that seem to coincide with her own thoughts and feelings. At
the discovery of a third jar, the mystery begins to unfold as the
discovery of who started these jars hidden for so long.
Carefully
written, complex lives of a seemingly simple world are upturned and
will never be the same. It is just like me to start a new book late at
night, and I found myself unable to put it down. I enjoy Wanda E.
Brunstetter's books for the way she makes her characters come to life.
The Healing Jar is a fitting title for a book that touches the heart of
this extended family. I laughed, cried and found wisdom in this book. I
have a feeling that many a prayer jar will be started as more people
read this wonderful series. I am sad to see this series end, but look
forward to more books written by this beloved author.
Musings about life, love, books, sewing, creating, family and the journey of a lifetime!
