Healing Jar Book Review

I was excited to get to the last book in the series,  The Healing Jar (The Prayer Jars) by Wanda E. Brunstetter.  I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next.  The first two books were hard enough to put down but this book was even harder for me.  I couldn't wait to see how it was going to end.

What if you have waited to find love only to be rejected when it finally comes? 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?

Lenore Lapp is living with her grandparents to help take care of them while working as a school teacher in the small Amish school.  She is enjoying her life with her job and family being very fulfilling until she starts wanting more.  Lenore was making plans to be an old maid living with her grandparents when she meets Jesse and his baby daughter. Lenore grows close when she watches the baby during the summer when she off school.  They grow closer and Jesse proposed marriage.  While Lenore was planning the wedding, Jesse decides that it was only a marriage of convenience and breaks off the engagement.  Lenore goes back to the life she had before but she is heart broken by all of the losses in her life.  She is dealing with so many thing but you have to pick up the book to find out what she is dealing with.  I hope that you check out this book and all the books in the series.  I enjoyed them so much and they made me grateful for the family in my life.  I think that you should check out these books and enjoy them for yourself.
