My Perspective ~

The Forgiving Jar is the second in The Prayer Jar series, and I enjoyed it even more than the first book in this series. Characters were well defined and likable. Events were realistic and true to the Amish culture. Ms. Brunstetter has researched the Amish over several years, and exhibits that knowledge through her writing. Her books are educational as well as pleasurable.

Relationships developed naturally throughout this book, with trust issues being a strong point. Patience and tolerance were important characteristics that grew throughout this story. I enjoyed the intermingling of several characters with diverse backgrounds, and their reactions to one another. A lot of growth took place in this novel. For those who love Amish fiction, this is one you won't want to miss!
