Review:

...an excellent read and that I enjoyed it thoroughly!

I really enjoyed this book, it had a great message and I liked how it told the story from several different points of view and was realistic without giving too many details. At times it felt like an awful lot of bad things happened to Amanda and Mary, but when you think about it times were hard and it was probably fairly accurate in the portrayal of how bad it probably was.--Bethany DeSelms"The Perfect Beginnings" (01/21/2014)

Woman of Courage really shows how talented Wanda Brunstetter is and why she is so popular. I think this novel is probably one of her better works. I loved the character of Amanda. What a strong and fascinating woman!--Amy Campbell (03/08/2014)

Loved this book. Both Mary and Amanda were courageous women. Reading this book is like going on a journey across the wilderness with Amanda. Its amazing just how much faith the people had during this era.--Patsy Higgason"Librarian" (02/21/2014)

Wanda Brunstetter's Amish books are a delight, but her story of a Quaker young woman that wants to be a missionary is outstanding. The characters are well done and the story exciting. I couldn't put the book down once I started reading and I'm sure you won't be able to either.--Barbara Bryden"Journeys in Prayer" (06/16/2014)

I have read many books by this author and have never been disappointed. This book is no exception. Although it is a departure from the Amish genre she normally writes, it is every bit as good and exciting as her Amish books.

As a fan of Wanda Brunstetter, I can easily say this is probably my favorite book by far. Historical fiction fans will enjoy this story, but anyone who is looking for a faith-based read, where romantic feelings slowly develop, interesting characters, and more than a few twists will find this one to their liking as well. --Brenda Casto"Readers' Favorite" (01/06/2014)

Not only did Wanda hook me on another one of her books, but she made me appreciate historical fiction at a new level.

Through the adrenaline rushes to the trials and pain, I was transported into this story. I connected to the characters as they came alive in my mind. I could even picture the surroundings throughout much of this story. For me, Wanda delivered, and she delivered big!--Zac Weikal"Zac Weikal Blog" (03/19/2014)
