A Note From Wanda:<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever since I was a child, I wanted to be a writer. When I was in the second grade, I wrote my first poem about a moth. Luckily, I received encouragement from my teacher. During my teen years, I wrote skits that my church teen group performed during special holidays.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until 1980, that I took a course on writing for children and teenagers. I became serious about a career as an author. Soon after that, I began to write stories, articles, poems, and devotionals, which appeared in a variety of Christian publications. Later, I had 5 books of puppet\/ventriloquist scripts published. *These books are currently available by contacting me. (wanda@wandabrunstetter.com)<\/p>\n

My first novel was released by Barbour Publishing\u2019s book club, Heartsong Presents, in Dec. 1997. I have now written nearly fifty books, with over 4 million books in print. Many of the novels I’ve written are Amish-themed.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Life for Kelly McGregor is a daily drudge of driving her overbearing father\u2019s mules along Pennsylvania\u2019s Lehigh Canal. She dreams of one day owning an art gallery where her own drawings and paintings are on display. But these dreams don\u2019t include marriage. . .not after seeing what her father has done to her mother. How then can Mike Cooper, a general store owner, make her realize he is different than her father and wants to support her artistic talent? Will Kelly learn that dreams can walk hand in hand with a love created by God?<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelly\u2019s Chance<\/a> is a departure from the Amish\u00a0 novels I have come to expect from Wanda Brunstetter. I enjoyed learning about the hard life on the canals, something I had never known about. We truly do learn something new every day. The story was easy to read with interesting characters. The primary theme of trusting and depending upon God was well woven throughout the story without being preachy. Overall a good romance with a happy ever after ending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
