A Cousin's Prayer
Kumme to Amish country with Wanda Brunstetter’s A Cousin’s Prayer, where the simple life and faith in God lead to hope and healing. A year after her boyfriend was killed in a van in which she was also a passenger, a traumatized Katie Miller returns to her Amish community in Indiana, struggling with depression and panic attacks. Will she ever find the courage—and the faith—to face her inner demons and find her way out of the valley of her depression? Freeman Bontrager has been interested in Katie ever since they were in school together. Now that Katie is home, Freeman finds excuses to spend time at the Miller’s home, hoping to win her love. But how far should he go to gain her trust…and her heart? Can he bring Katie out of the shadows of fear and open her heart to love? Or should he turn to the alluring Eunice Byler? When a mysterious package appears on Katie’s doorstep and brings her out of her despair, Freeman’s loyalty is tested. But at least there’s hope—until the “gift” must be returned to its rightful owners. Will Freeman win Katie’s trust only to lose his standing in the eyes of her parents? And what will it take for Katie to overcome her fears at last and dare to love again?

GREAT STORY
November 11, 2009
Another wonderful Amish story. Having suffered from depression myself I felt a kinship with Katie. As a Christian I know how hard it can be to accept this illness and not feel out of touch with reality. I am glad Wanda Brunstetter told it like it is. I love reading about the Amish life and how these amazing people exist in our world today and face so many similar problems. Thanks again for a great story! Can't wait for more.

I truly appreciated Katy's quiet fortitude and her strength. Even though this book is fiction I can truly take a lesson from Katy in her handling of turmoil.

I loved Katies story. She keep her dignity when lies were being told about her. I probably would have let Eunice have it. It goes to show that all women are subject to the "green-eyed monster" and bouts of superiority, no matter our religion or life style. Katies faith was strong and Freeman's love was lasting. We should all put our trust in the LORD more and learn to accept help when we need it.
