Praise for The Beloved Christmas Quilt: Three Stories of Family, Romance, and Amish Faith
This three-part novel shares a common thread: a handmade quilt. Although each story has a separate plot, the same characters are in all three. The authors are all talented with their own unique writing style. This is Richelle Brunstetter’s writing debut, and she does a great job.

Wanda Brunstetter has teamed up with her daughter-in-law Jean and granddaughter Richelle and among the three women, they have delivered three warm and spirited tales. The overarching connection between the three stories steps from generation to generation and the beloved Christmas Quilt is at the center of each story. While each author has a unique tone and style to their writing, the beauty in all three stories is that they flow well together. The dialogue is light and believable. All three women have done an admirable job in delivering warm and insightful tales. Well done ladies. I look forward to your next collaboration.
