    About this audiobook

    Can a couple rent by grief find renewal? Timothy Fisher's decision to move his family from their home in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, isn't a happy one for his wife, Hannah. Everything she knows is in Lancaster County-her mother, her home, her friends. But what choice does Hannah have? Realizing that her place is with her husband and young daughter, she reluctantly goes-but her new life is a hard adjustment. Nothing Timothy does pleases Hannah, and his best-laid plans are beginning to crumble before him. Then a tragic accident occurs, further driving a rift in their strained relationship. Hannah is inconsolable and blames Timothy. Between the stress of his job, dealing with his wife's hostility, and feeling the burden of guilt, Timothy can barely cope. Hannah's resentment drives her back to Pennsylvania, where she hopes to find peace and healing for her troubled soul. Timothy turns to his pillar of strength and pleads with God to restore his marriage. Amid the ashes of grief and struggle, will renewed love, faith, and hope emerge?

      I’ve had this book for awhile, and I enjoyed being back with the Fisher brothers and their move from Pennsylvania to Kentucky.While this is Hannah’s and Timothy’s story, we are reunited with the past characters from the previous two books, and brought up to date.Timothy is looking for a new start, away from the apron strings that had his wife tied up.Yes, I enjoyed the character of Timothy, but Hannah was another story.I was thinking with the things that happen here, why wasn’t the Amish Bishop involved, why weren’t they living their faith?This really was not a book that emulates what I believe the faith of these people. You can judge for yourself, there are others that I did enjoy reading about, and did enjoy the epilogue!I receive this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.

      Anyone who is struggling in life should read this book and see how miracles do happen.

      The Struggle With Forgiveness!I love Wanda's books and especially I have loved her Kentucky Brother series. The Struggle did not disappoint me. I picked up this book yesterday to read and finished it early this evening. I read it every chance that I got. My interest was captured from page one.Timothy Fisher plans to move his family to Pembroke Kentucky to get his wife Hannah away from depending on her Mother so much. Hannah has been spending too much time with her Mother instead of being a wife to him. Timothy has two brothers already living in Pembroke, his twin brother Titus and brother Samuel. Samuel has already said that Timothy's family could stay with him until they can either build or buy a place of their own.Hannah Fisher is not happy with Timothy for forcing her to move to Kentucky. She doesn't want to leave her home and her parents in Paradise Pennsylvania. She vows to never like Kentucky and is bitter toward Timothy for making her move there. Hannah ends up being bitter about a lot of things.Can Hannah ever forgive Timothy for uprooting her from Pennsylvania to move to Kentucky? Can she ever forgive him for the horrible accident that happens in their family?This is a wonderful story about family relationships, learning to forgive one another and putting your faith and trust in God. Thank you Wanda Brunstetter for a wonderful story. This is definitely a five star book. I hope you all will get a chance to read this book.

      Once again Wanda E. Brunstertter has come across with another book in the series "Kentucky Brothers". I was so happy to receive this one from Wanda and Barbour Publishing, now I can continue with the saga of the Fisher family.Hannah Fisher hates that she has had to move away from his home town and her family and move to Kentucky. But as the Amish believe she had to go where her husband wants to go. Alone with the accident of their little daughter Mindy, there was so much guilt. Now they are having trouble with their marriage as Hannah is so unhappy. Timothy Fisher is also having a lot of trouble with trying to make his wife happy and his work he really does not know what to do.As Hannah goes back home to Pennsylvania and to her parents' everywhere she looks there is a reminder of what she had lost. As the time passed and she found out she was expecting a baby she knew that she had to go back to where she belonged and to her husband. Can she forget and forgive as she continues her life.Will Timothy and Hannah listen to God and settle their differences or will they remain apart? I love to read these books in a series because once I start to read about a family I just want it to continue. As always Wanda knows how to make you feel me through I am in that family my-self and I just don't want to put it down until the last page, then I look and think couldn't there be at least one more page? I love the receipes that are always in these books. I have tried a few and some of them are just like this old southern woman has always made for her family.
