Review Quotes:

Wanda Brunstetter is, in my opinion, one of the most wholesome writers in present day. She stays true to her pen and consistently delivers heartfelt stories centered around the Amish community. There is a dash of faith, lots of hope and a strong sense of community among the characters she develops in each story. I've had the pleasure of reading several of her books. She breathes beautiful life into each character while she complements their reality with beautiful scenery and credible dialogue throughout the read. Something that is signature in each of her books is at the end, she always treats her audience to a few recipes from Amish country. The ingredients are attainable and the recipes themselves are easy to follow. Once again, I thank Ms. Brunstetter for another well-written book and look forward to the next.

Quill says: The Mockingbird's Song is a warm and inviting tale that addresses the depths of grief and is complemented throughout with a message that resonates with hope.
