The Forgiving Jar (The Prayer Jars book 2) by Wanda Brunstetter

I am so far behind in my reviews.  This has been a truly busy season here.  I managed to slice my hand with a knife and then a few weeks later went in for an emergency surgery (not hand related).  

It's been great for reading but not so good for typing up reviews!  I'm finally on the mend so I can start catching up.  

I was excited to read book two in the Prayer Jar Series

From the back: What would happen if you found out someone has been impersonating you?

Sara Murray had never met her mother’s parents and was surprised to learn after her death that they were Amish living in Pennsylvania. When she is finally able to make the trip to meet them, she is shocked to learn someone else has been living with them and pretending to be Sara. Sara can’t understand how quickly her grandparents are willing to forgive the imposter.

Secrets and deceit seem to follow Sara, and she is so tired of it. Though soon she meets Brad Fuller who is visiting her grandparents for during Christmas. She likes him a lot, but even he seems to pull away from her, not being totally honest.

Struggling, Sara finds an old canning jar hidden in the barn that is full of encouraging prayers. Can Sara find a way to forgive the past and move on to building new relationships?

This book once again delivers what we expect of Wanda Brunstetter.  Full of twists, turns, surprises and grace this story blew me away.  Sometimes it's hard to outdo such a great first book in a series but Ms. Brunstetter managed to do so. 

Michelle continues to grow and develop and I found myself drawn to her more in this book.  Sara was a bit of a struggle as I felt that she was super harsh.  It was good seeing other characters from the first book.  Although this book could stand alone, it's better to read the first book in the series.  

So pick up your copy of The Forgiving Jar and enjoy a fresh twist on the Amish genre!  Happy reading!
