    Highly recommended for lovers of Amish novels.

    The second book in this series is as good as the first one. This author is amazing and I read all of her books. Her scripture references really touch my faith and make me think. Love it.

    I didn't think this was one of Wanda's best series in that it was a bit redundent, but it is not so bad as too deter one from enjoying a journey of through love and forgivness and a thread of mystery. That said I would recommend this series as an enjoyable read.

    The best I have ever read

    I rate this book outstanding, this book brought out all kinds of thoughts and understanding about families. When reading this book I was part of the family, a fly on the wall as I would say. I was wishing the story was not going to end, But as life does go on, so does the story of a sister test.

This is the first (meaning this series) of Wanda Brunstetter for me to read and I'm just not sure what I think. I have read various authors of Amish Christian Fiction over the years, as well as many history books of the Amish dealing with my quilting addiction. I have never heard before of the Amish so often going to a Dentist, or Chiropractor, sure I've heard of them seeing a Doctor or going to the hospital under extreme circumstances, but it is very strange to hear of various Amish persons continually seeing a Chiropractor. This book picks up just a few weeks after the first one ends, and I really would like to say that there are more smiles and rose blossoms in reading the book of Job than there is in this book. I just do not understand how so much strife can continue one thing after another. I'm ready for some happiness! Geez, these books are depressing me. But, I refuse to just quit the author or the series, because surely as much strife is shown to be as possible there must be such happiness to compare. Because I know that as much as the Lord is one for taking, He also giveth!

    I love Wanda's books!

    This series is great! I can't wait for the third book to come out. Wanda's books are so fun to read and it's always upsetting when the book ends. I hope this author continues to write.

    AN AMISH EXPERIENCE

    A sister's test is another feather in the cap of wanda brunstetter. It is a revealing peek into the amish life. Not the make believe you hear about them, but the fact they suffer and hurt just like we do. Raising children as we all do, and making the same mistakes. Through all the trials in this book they trust god to get them through. In this day and age where god seems to be pushed out of our lives,this book reinforces our belief in him. Their are family members going through trials and not giving up. Wanda's books are uplifting and real to anyone who has experienced them. I can never wait for the next one to come out. Do yourself a favor buy her books and enjoy the stories she relates to you

    Outstanding as alway's from Brunstetter

    This is another GREAT book by Wanda Brunstetter. I could barely put it down. It is so intense with all the terrorizing going on to the family. With Martin wanting to hurry to get married i just knew something was to happen to him. It was so heart wrenching when Ruth lost her love and the only chance of having a family with him in a terroristic act of someone who has been out to get the family. I can't wait for the next book to find out what is instore for Ruth and her Family and to finally find out who is behind all of this Hate for them.

    I could hardly wait for the book to be released after reading A Sister's Secret. I enjoyed every minute of it, but there were times I found it sad. I am so anxious to know who is the driver of the that truck. I have my suspensions on that one.

    I Loved It !

    This is book 2 in the Sister's of Holmes County. Wanda makes you feel like you're actually part of the family/Amish community. Ruth Hostettler and her family have been suffering the many attacks of an unknown person for unknown reasons. An Amish wedding is such a joyous occasion, but even then, the attacker strikes again. It seems like the attacks have finally stopped when something terrible happens. How can Ruth go on with her life in such a turmoil? I could hardly put the book down and am anxiously awaiting for book 3.

    After reading A Sister's Secret, I waited patiently for the release of A Sister's Test. Living in Lancaster County, I thought I knew many things about the Amish. With Wanda's books, I have learned even more. My daughters and I keep sharing her books and 'patiently' await the next release. The Hostettler family and their problems seem so real that I feel like I personally know them. Feeling all the love and heartbreak of their family showed how Wanda expresses her feelings through her books. I will anxiouly await the release of A Sister's Hope to see if my thoughts on the ending are confirmed. Thank Wanda!!

    Waiting for Martha's Story

    It's the neighbor guy isn't it? Jah sure it is. It's gotta be. Luke's something of a snotty kid, but he'll come out of that and end up with Martha. He wouldn't do all that vandalism and go so far as vehicular manslaughter. The reporter is conceited, but that's about all, probably harmless. The neighbor keeps offering to buy the land, so it's gotta be him, even though his wife either doesn't know it, or is covering for him. Either that or it's the land developer who offered Roman $ for his land in the first book, A Sister's Secret. Now then, Martha is going to go into business with Luke raising cocker spaniels and end up married to him. End of story? Naw, not by a long shot, because then we will want to know Anna's story, she will surely grow up and have a tale to tell too! And Daniel... Thank you Wanda, you are a great story-teller!
