 | Webster County Omnibus: Going Home/On Her Own/Dear to Me/Allison's Journey (Brides of Webster County 1-4) Sep 11, 2009 |
| I purchased these books for my elderly mother and the books came as one big book. She loved the series and wants me to find her more of the webster county books so she can continue to read them. Excellent series to read> | | |  | If you have nothing else to read, maybe Mar 29, 2009 |
| A well-meaning friend bought me this book. I don't care for Amish fiction in general, though I have read some that I enjoyed. This book however, is laughable in its quality and I question the authenticity of it at some points. I have never thought the Amish were big on a personal relationship with God, and were more about their traditions, though I could be wrong, so I had a hard time with the attitude of the first story that Faith would be more spiritually strong if she stayed among the legalistic Amish rather than return to the "English" world. The plots are not very original, and too often the best course of action is shoved down the reader's throat with scenes where first the heroine thinks about a need she has, then the parents have a scene where they think about the need and a solution, then so do the neighbors down the street, then so does the hero, etc. By the time everybody and their brother has reached this conclusion, I am feeling a bit insulted that the author doesn't think I can see where this very predictable plot is going. The emotions the characters have seem very contrived and surface, and are easily resolved or changed with the course of a few lines. I didn't grow to care about the characters very much and I am surprised that such poor writing made these bestsellers. Most of what Barbour publishes, in my experience, is inferior in quality. A cardinal rule that I have heard from many editors and authors (who are better writers) is that you shouldn't have characters exposit information to the reader through dialogue that they wouldn't need to say to one another because they already know it. Yet these characters are constantly saying, "As you know, Bob..." and going on to have very artificial conversations so the author can tell us back story. The first ten pages of the first book was back story, which is not good writing. It should be woven in slowly to interest the reader. I am struggling to get through the second novel in this volume, only because my friend bought it for me as a gift. | | | | keeps your interest Jan 20, 2009 |

The Brides of Webster County by Wanda E. Brunstetter is four delightful stories in one volume. The name Wanda Brunstetter has become a favorite among fans of romance. "Amish Romance" has become a separate category in the romance genre. While these books are fictional, they give a great insight into the life and beliefs of the Amish. They leave a sense of peace and calmness. The Brides of Webster County focuses on four women in Missouri, each searching their heart concerning their faith.

| Great Book. Great author. I have loved every book I have read by this author. The Amish culture brings to us a sense of a family, strength, patience, hard work, strong faith, and a love. They are a great inspiration to everyone. Even though I learn their culture from reading fictional stories...I have taken away a new perspective of things and a new sense of calmness. | | | Write your own review about The Brides Of Webster County: Brides Of Webster County (BRIDES OF WEBSTER COUNTY)
