A Simple Letter Carries Inspiration for Healing
 
Life is good on their Pennsylvania Amish farm for newlyweds Vic and Eleanor Lapp—until the day Vic’s youngest brother drowns in their pond and Vic turns to alcohol to numb the pain. Things get so bad that Vic loses his job and their marriage is coming apart. Eleanor is desperate to help her husband and writes letters to her friend, Doretta, living in Indiana for advice. The trust Eleanor places in her friend and the gentle words she receives in return are a balm for even darker days to come in this first book of The Friendship Letters series by New York Times Bestselling Author Wanda E. Brunstetter.

Marilyn's thoughts:   

Letters of Trust is one of the most realistic story by Brunstetter, as she weaves a story surrounding the lost of a young child and alcoholism. Eleanor was strong relying on her faith and sharing her pain with a friend back in Indiana. The emotions and behaviors of the characters are well portrayed by Brunstetter throughout the tale with ups and downs and reaching out to others finally for help and prayer. There is a gentle faith message to show that with God nothing is impossible.

 

I would recommend this book to anyone who has had loved ones addicted to alcohol to show that God can deliver along with programs for the loved ones and the one addicted.
