Product Description

Product Description

Faith Stutzman Andrews left her Missouri Amish community ten years ago to pursue her career as a comedian. Now widowed, Faith shows up on her parents' doorstep with her six-year-old daughter in tow. Will the lure of the English world prove too strong for Faith, or will she discover that home is where her heart is? Confirmed bachelor Noah Hertzler often bakes desserts that he gives to others, attaching verses of Scripture to each culinary delight in the hopes of soothing the soul as well as nourishing the body. Can Noah's tactics heal a shattered Faith before she runs away again? Going Home is book 1 in the The Brides of Webster County series. Other books in the series include On Her Own: Book 2, Dear to Me: Book 3, and Allison's Journey: Book 4.

4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read 5 Feb 2008
By Mum of 4 kids
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed this book. It is fairly "light-weight" so I was able to concentrate on reading it on a bus journey and in a waiting area. I appreciated the Christian aspect and the insight into the Amish way of life. To a certain extent it is like a Christian "Mills and Boon" with plenty "feel good factor" and a happy ending; good holiday reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Engaging Book 1 Oct 2007
By OhioMom - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
In "Going Home," Wanda Brunstetter has once again transported her readers to a kinder, more gentle way of life. "Going Home" tells the story of Faith Stutzman Andrews, a young woman who was raised Amish but left everything she knew to pursue her dreams in the modern world. Now a widow with a young daughter to raise, Faith retuns to Missouri to live with her Amish family with one goal in mind, only to find her life taking one unexpected turn after another. As she examines her heart, Faith finds her intial goal is forgotten and replaced by what truly matters most to her.

Wanda Brunstetter has a rare gift. Her characters are "real" and we can all relate to the situations they find themselves in -- fear of rejection by those we love; perseverance in times of trial; faith and prayer in times of uncertainty. Ms. Brunstetter leaves her readers enveloped in a blanket of hope and a feeling of spiritual refreshment at the end of "Going Home."

I loved the "surpise" recipe at the end of the book as much as the book itself, and can't wait for the next book in the series!

3.0 out of 5 stars Faith plans to go home to leave again... 4 Jan 2008
By Bonnie McKinzie - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Faith left home at eighteen to follow her dream of country type performing on the stage, mostly by yodeling and joke telling. The man she married was more agent than husband, but he kept her busy. Along came a little daughter who was rather dragged from motel to stage, to sitters and back to the motel. Not an ideal way to raise a little girl.

When Faith's husband is killed suddenly, she is forced to make a decision, and decides to take her little girl home to the Plain people, get her settled, then leave for the stage again. In the meantime, she must dress, act and try to pass as Amish.

Now twenty eight years old, Faith struggles with the questions her parents keep asking her about church. Since she knows she is not staying, she does not intend to join the church. Some of her old friends and family are quite understanding of her circumstances,her mother finally comes around, but her father stays aloof, gruff and less lovable than she would like.... however she has told no one she plans to leave again.

Noah is an unusual sort of Amish man. He prefers baking to farm work, and has such low self esteem he is sure no woman will ever want him as husband. However, he is a jewel, a real Christian, wholesome man, and befriends Faith. The reader falls in love with Noah as well!

This book drags a bit, with not much depth, but it is a light, happy story of which younger girls would probably enjoy reading.

Just the day Faith intends to tell the family and her daughter of her plans to leave, her mother surprises her with a horribly strict ultimatum which really bothered me, and she walks in the barn to hear her eight year old daughter yodeling and telling her audience of kittens that someday she is going to be an entertainer on the stage just like her Mommy. Obviously, heart broken and feelings all mixed up, Faith makes a huge decision.

I am anxious for the next book. Thank you Wanda for an easy reading, simple little love story, pure and sweet.

lemon-colored. Add ¾ cup of sugar a little at a time, beating after each addition. Then add the sifted ingredients, slowly stirring to blend them in. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs whites until they form peaks, then add the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar, beating until they are well blended. Fold this mixture into the rest of the batter, and pour into an ungreased tube pan. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven. Turn pan upside-down with tube over the neck of a funnel or bottle.
