Worst Amish Book I have ever read!!!,
This review is from: A Cousins Promise (Paperback)
I read lots of Amish books and I have to say this is the worst I have ever read. The story line and dialogue was so juvenile. It was basically two people bickering about one issue for the entire book - "I want to marry you", "No, I am only half a man!" etc etc. Save your money!!!

Amish youth,
By Sunny - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Cousins Promise (Paperback)
A Cousin's Promise is the first book in the Indiana Cousins series. Early in the book a group of teenagers are in a car wreck and the rest of the book is about the aftermath of the accident and how it changed their lives. Before the accident Loraine and Wayne are engaged to be married, but when Wayne gets crippled he tries to figure out what is the best thing to do for himself and for Loraine since he can't provide for her now.When Jake, Loraine's previous boyfriend, hears about the accident he comes home for the first time since he left the community to make more money. He has broken her heart once already, but Loraine is surprised at her feelings toward Jake when he returns. Loraine is caught between these two guys. Wayne is pushing her away and difficult to be around, but she still loves him. Jake is fun to be with and obviously still has feelings for her. She gets all kinds of unwanted advice from her mom, Wayne's mom, and her best friend and cousin, Ella. I was shocked at how the moms were acting toward Loraine and the things they said to her. I guess I never thought of the Amish as having that kind of bickering, but it's human nature especially when mama's little chicks are involved. A Cousin's Promise was a very interesting read and I felt connected to the characters right away. By the end of the book I was in the story with all of them and rooting for Loraine. The story showed a lot about forgiveness and persevering with finding what God wants, not necessarily what other people want. You might not want to read this when you're down in the dumps, though, since it deals with issues after a tragic accident. Throughout much of the book I kept wondering when something good was going to happen and was ready for things to get better. But I do recommend it and am looking forward to the rest of the series. Oh, and the ending will blow you away! But you'll have to read it for yourself. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful

"Keeps you guessing",
By Debra Gaynor "ReviewYourBook.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Cousins Promise (Paperback)
A Cousin's PromiseWritten by: Wanda Brunstetter Published by: Barbour Reviewed by: Stephanie Rollins for ReviewYourBook.com 3/2009 ISBN: 978-1-60260-060-7 "Keeps you guessing" 4 stars Wanda Brunstetter is the leader in Amish fiction. Her latest, A Cousin's Promise, does not disappoint. When a tragic accident occurs, a few are injured, and a few die. Those dealing with the grief have to learn to not push the ones who love them away. Wayne, who lost a leg, is having a hard time. He thinks that he cannot marry because of his handicap. He encourages his fiancé, Loraine, to seek a relationship with Jake. Will Wayne come to his senses before Jake and Loraine plan their future? I really did not know how this one was going to end. Brunstetter is known for happy endings, but she kept hinting at a twist. Put this on your summer reading list. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

A Cousin's Promise,
By D. Moore - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Cousins Promise (Paperback)
I have read almost all of Wanda Brunstetter's Amish novels, and in each one I find a new set of friends. This genre gives me a respite from an ever-increasingly chaotic world, and plunges me into a simpler life, albeit a more physically demanding, rigorous life. The author crafts characters I would like to meet. In A Cousin's Promise, there seems to be a wider range of personalities and character traits present. Not all of the characters are good at heart; some have selfish and ugly motivations. The protagonists are tested by circumstances, and discover strengths they didn't know they possessed. And, like another critic mentioned, this particular book begs to become the first in a series because it leaves the reader wondering about what happened to a number of characters.
