THE RESTORATION is the third and final book in the Prairie State Friends series. Jealousy is running rampant in the Amish country and that is just not how the people of this community usually behave. Priscilla Herschberger has been courting Elam for a long time. She always assumed she would marry Elam even though it has been years since they have been together and he still hasn't asked her. He wants to have more money put away so he can offer her a comfortable life. Priscilla is tired of waiting and being disappointed.

Priscilla has two very good friends who we have met in the previous books in this series. Leah and Elaine have always been there for Priscilla as she has for them. Leah is married to Adam and are raising his three nieces. Elaine is courting Ben but can't seem to let go of the feelings she has for Noah. Noah has just lost his wife Sarah to a tragic accident and he is raising their two children alone with the help of his family. THE RESTORATION also introduces you to David, an English man who is visiting his grandparents and is smitten with Priscilla. He knows she is courting Elam and also knows the only way he could have a life with Priscilla is to become Amish, which he thinks he will have no problem doing.

THE RESTORATION is filled with faith of course, but also loss, hope, love, heartache, and forgiveness. Something is always happening in this heartfelt story so the reader isn't bored in the least and is quickly flipping the pages. This story is a quick read, but you will want to take it slow and soak it all in knowing this is the end to a wonderful series.

THE RESTORATION has many twists and turns that kept me glued to the pages; each twist kept me wondering what might happen next. There were a few story lines going on within the story and Wanda E. Brunstetter blends them together perfectly, providing a wonderful story that certainly leaves this reader satisfied with the ending of The Prairie State Friends series. Fans of Amish fiction will devour THE RESTORATION. I am sad this series is ending, but I'm very happy Ms. Brunstetter wrapped up all of the characters stories. Wanda E. Brunstetter has always been one of my favorite authors in the Amish genre because her work always provides inspirational messages while also providing real life issues that happen to take place in an Amish setting.
