A Cousin's Prayer (Indiana Cousins)

4 STARS! This Amish romance novel is the second in the Indiana Cousins series. In typical Brunstetter fashion, the characters and storyline are well crafted. Many readers will emphathize with Katie's conflicted feelings. A recipe for banana nut cake is also included. (LESLIE MCKEE ROMANTIC TIMES 2009-09-01)A Cousins Prayer is a good read. I enjoyed the different cast of characters, each one representing some sort of problem that everyday people experience. I like the way the panic, and anxiety attacks, are brought out in the storyline, and how others can misinterpret things. Wanda E.
