The Apple Creek Announcement by Wanda E. Brunstetter is a heartwarming story. It is the third book in the Creektown Discoveries series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but I enjoyed the experience of reading the series in order. It allowed me to get to know Orley and Lois Troyer. I thought The Apple Creek Announcement was well-written with the story moving at a gentle pace. I thought the second half of the story moved along at a faster pace than the first. We get to know Andrea Wagner, Brandon Prentice, and their families. I admit that I had trouble with Andrea. She comes across as immature and whiny at times. I just love Lois and Orley. They are such caring people with abiding faith. They provide guidance to those who seek it in their shop. I would love to spend hours exploring their antique store. I like how the faith element is weaved into the story. It is well-done and in no way is it preachy. The importance of prayer and forgiveness are two good faith lessons. I did learn some interesting information as Andrea and Brandon tried to get to their animals to accept each other. Brandon�s dog was afraid of Andrea�s cat. I can tell that the author did her research into this subject. I loved the ending. Everything came together for a special finale. There are two recipes at the end as well as discussion questions. The Apple Creek Announcement is a touching Amish tale with an exultant engagement, an astonishing secret, an animal aenigma, wise advice, an unforeseen find, and a joyful finale.

THE APPLE CREEK ANNOUNCEMENT
by Wanda E. Brunstetter
Andrea is a piano teacher and artist who feels drawn to painting Amish scenery. She doesn't know why, but she is drawn in that direction time and time again. She's in her thirties and had almost given up on getting married and having a family, then she met local veterinarian Brandon. They decide to marry, and then she finds out she was adopted.
Andrea comes across as a little immature, but I think that is to be expected when you are cosseted and protected by your loving parents. Her first feelings are of betrayal, why didn't her parents tell her that she was adopted? She feels drawn to identify her birth parents, putting her relationship with Brandon on hold and turning away from everyone as she begins her journey.
This is a stand-alone book, it means a little more to me because I have read the other two books in this series. They give you more of the background happenings and relationships, as you go into this novel.
