 | Full circle conclusion May 26, 2010 |
This was a very well-written conclusion to the Indiana Cousins trilogy. While there were a few details I'd have liked to have seen wrapped up, for the most part she did a great job of taking care of the loose ends. The characters were well-developed and things were explained reasonably well. Of course, this wouldn't be a Brunstetter book without several tragedies mingled in. She is the "Queen of Tragedies," after all.
Ella reminded me of my oldest sister-- bossy and self-assured. After our father died, like Ella, she felt it was her duty to take over everything and make sure that Mom fared all right. I was only 12 years old, so I could relate to Ella's younger siblings when she felt she had the right to discipline them and take over the role of a parent despite their mother still being alive. I did like Ella, though, and I was glad that, at long last, Jake finally won her heart.
I really enjoyed this refreshing conclusion and was impressed that everything had finally come full-circle for the cousins from Indiana.

Two years ago, Jolene Yoder and her friends planned a visit to Hershey Park. In a blink of an eye, their plans changed when the vehicle they were riding in left the road and crashed. Jolene lost her hearing and was unable to keep her teaching position; she left to go live with her Aunt and Uncle to come to terms with her new silent world.
A message from her mother asks her to come back to her Amish hometown of Topeka, Indiana. She learns that two deaf children have moved to her hometown and are in need of her help in order to attend the local school. Jolene is reluctant to accept because it would mean she would go back home and see her friends, knowing that she would not be able to hear their voices. In Jolene's heart she has always known teaching was her true calling.
Lonnie Hershberger and his family moved from Illinois to Indiana. He is heartbroken that he had to leave behind his girlfriend Carolyn. When he invites her to visit him in Indiana and she doesn't come, he realizes that he must put his love for her behind him and move on with his new life in Indiana.
When Lonnie meets Jolene he feels an immediately immediate attraction to her. He wonders if God has put him in Indiana in order to see the woman that was meant to be with him. Will Jolene return Lonnie's feelings? Or is there someone else who has an interest in claiming Jolene's heart?
A COUSIN'S CHALLENGE is the third and final installment of Wanda E. Brunstetter's Indiana Cousins series. It has been a long time since I have been so impressed by a series. Wanda E. Brunstetter's talented pen has created memorable characters that are truly unforgettable. I have high hopes that one day the Hallmark channel turns the Indiana Cousins series into a Hallmark movie; I would love to sitback and actually be able to see this series on a live screen.
Review URL: [...] | | |  | A sweet romance Apr 25, 2010 |
| Surprisingly I liked this book more than the last in the series. The leading lady, Jolene, is deaf and it is intriguing and exciting to watch her story unfold. I've never read a book with a deaf character before, but I can't imagine how it could be done better. The romances in this book were sweet and I loved the recipe at the end of the book! | | |  | What happened!?!?!? Apr 20, 2010 |
I read the first two books of this series and was so excited about this one I stayed up late and read the whole book. I agree with a previous reviewer it should have been two books! There was not enough time spent developing the relationships between the couples nor the relationship between the individuals and God. Which is sad because in the previous books the authoress took such care to establish emotions, situations and relationships that you couldn't help but feel what the characters where feeling. Not so much in the book.
My other problem was the tragedy! There was so much it really became ridiculous. It really felt like a soap opera. I liked that in the previous books it was about overcoming the main tragedy at the beginning of the first book.
Well I wish the series had ended with a better (two) book(s), but this how it goes sometimes. Authors in general should stick with the same successful formula that they are have already established for the series. Readers like that! Loved the first two books!
| | |  | Amish are accident prone? Apr 17, 2010 |
I have read all of Wanda's books and enjoyed them but this one series has a lot of unecessary hardship in and it would
appear that the amish people are really prone to getting hit on the head - falling off a ladder - getting in wrecks and -- well --- somethig all the time. The Amish people are not like that - they are alert and prepared and have forsight .I like the way Wanda threads her writing with scripture and yet I do think it is a sort of after the fact scripture. I would like to see God"s will be done by the avoidance of so much hardship and believe me it is - but not in some of her books - medical issues and falls and hospital visits arMisto Gourmet Brushed Aluminum Olive Oil Sprayere a major point. I would like to read a series in which the uncomplicated life of the Amish refreshes me and restores my peace - in this troubled world we all need that. | | | Write your own review about A Cousin's Challenge: Cousin's Challenge (Indiana Cousins)
