the Forgiving Jar by Wanda Brunstetter


A charming book by one of my favorite Amish fiction writers!
Michelle was trapped in an abusive relationship and ha deceived Willis and Mary Ruth Lapp. Pretending to be their granddaughter.She was guided by scriptures in an old canning jar toward God and has made good by confessing. Ezekiel King talked her into coming back and coming clean. She is now living with the Lapps as herself! This book starts as Sara, the real granddaughter is moving in and resents Michelle, her relationship with Willis and Mary Ruth, and how well she fits in! We follow as Sara and Michelle try to figure out, how each of them relates to God, to the Amish or to each other! A great read!
