Review:
I guess it is a little predicable that I'm reviewing another historical fiction title, but I can't give you an excuses, except for the fact that I enjoy reading the genre. Two of my favorite Christian authors are Beverly Lewis and Wanda E. Brunstetter, so any time one of their books becomes available to review, I eagerly sign up to review it.
While the majority of Wanda E. Brunstetter's books are either set in the Amish or the Mennonite world, her newest book, Woman of Courage, is about a Quaker woman, Amanda Pearson, who was jilted by her fiance, Nathan. While she is upset about the breakup, she uses this opportunity to start a new life by going out west to join Rev. & Mrs. Spalding on their mission to minister the Nez Perce Indians.
Accompanied by her father and a guide, Harvey, Amanda heads west for the Lapawia Valley, but after a deadly situation, tragedy strikes, resulting in Buck McFadden rescuing her and bringing her to the home of Jim and Mary Beck, so she can heal her wounds. Despite her near death experience, she is determined to continue her missionary.
Woman of Courage isn't your typical Brunstetter novel, which is normally set in a small town or community. Here we have a young woman, Amanda, traveling in the wilderness to spread the word of God to the Indians. Of course, there is a some romance thrown about involving Buck. Once again, Brunstetter crafts together an intriguing plot with creative descriptions and memorable characters. Overall, Woman of Courage is a well written novel about hope and faith and I recommend it to other readers.
