On Her Own is a satisfying love story full of plot twists and surprises. The main character, Barbara Zook, demonstrates great courage and resilience amidst adversity. The Amish facts and lifestyle are well-researched and presented through believable characters and scenes. I listened to the audio version; it kept me spellbound from beginning to end.

This was a wonderful book. Well written. GREAT story. She without a doubt is my favorite author!!! The story line was great. I am so glad she keeps her stories flowing. Cant wait to read the next one!!

I ordered this and several others for my grandmother. They came in on time and in great condition. thank you,

Very good book. Educational, as far as folks that live a simpler life. Entertaining too.

I enjoyed reading this book. The only problem i had was that it had been a while since I read the first book in the series and there wasn't much in this book to remind me who did what in the first book. I recognized names but couldn't remember the connections. Even so, this was a good book to read. I recommend it.

Love her books! I've read all of her Amish books and they are all great!

Barbara gives birth to her fourth son, conceived just a month before her beloved husband was killed. She is determined to keep their business going, a harness shop which she loves. However, her strength does not return as quickly as she planned, and she must have help. There were several other deaths in the community, with several left to fend for their families and find new loves. While I loved some of the characters in this book, I felt it was way too obvious and not very innovative as far as Amish stories are involved. However, I will buy book three.

On Her Own: Brides of Webster County, Book 2 (Truly Yours Romance Club #17)
Wanda Brunstetter has done an excellent job drawing the reader into the private life of Barbara Zook. After losing her husband she is faced with the reality of raising four boys and also running a harness shop.

Paul Hilty agrees to oversee the harness shop for her as she awaits the birth of her fourth child and until she gets back on her feet.

Bishop John Frey is looking for a mother for his teenage daughters after the death of his wife and Barbara wonders if he would be the right one that God would have for her even though she still loves her dead husband. She is attracted to Paul also. She prays that God would help her in her dilema.

No woman rejoices at widowhood. The loss of a spouse often feels like the end of the world. It is no different for Barbara Zook who loses her beloved David and is left to raise her son's and run his harness shop. Once again, Brunstetter's strong characters are evident in this charming love story. Barbara knows she is expected to remarry, but her heart's desire is not to become Bishop John's wife and mother to his four daughters. She wants to keep the harness shop open and running for her sons. After hiring Paul Hilty to work in the shop after she gives birth to her fourth son, Barbara finds her feelings for him to be roaming every-which-way. But rumors and speculation have Paul thinking Barbara is planning to marry Bishop John. With this knowledge, Paul seemingly gives up and plans to leave Holmes County. Can Barbara push the sorrow aside find love again with Paul? Or is it too late?

This book was in excellent shape when it arrived and the shipping time was very good. I am pleased with Amazon. I shall continue to use Amazon in the future.
