review 1: Betsy has become an old maid before she even realized it. After her plans to be a missionary were dashed, she stays in New York continuing what she believes is the Lord's work. After receiving news that her father was not in the best health, she returns to her childhood home in Lehigh Canal, Pennsylvania. Determined to care for her father till he gets better, she does everything in her power to help him.William Covington felt the call of God to preach despite the well-to-do family he comes from. When the opportunity comes to preach in a canal town, he follows God's leading and direction and ends up in Lehigh Canal. Will Betsy be able to accept William as the town's new pastor in place of her father? Or will the old bitterness she used to harbor rear it's ugly head and ruin... more the way she relates to William?Again, in very simple language, Brunstetter brings us a romance that is easy to read, fun, and entertaining. While the likelihood of falling in love so easily may seem unlikely, love comes in all forms, sizes, shapes, and ways in real life. And this historical portrayal is sweet and simple, a wonderful read for anyone who wants to travel back in time when things were simpler.
review 2: Overall, I would say that I enjoyed this book. It was a quick and easy read, yet still captivating. The characters were easy to like, and well imagined. Because I enjoyed this book, I will be reading the first book of the series. Although this was the second book in the series, I didn't feel like I was missing any vital back story. However, I felt there were parts of the story that were slow and very predictable. I would have to say that I prefer Brunstetter's books based on the Amish lifestyle, but that may be because I am not familiar with the time period in which "Betsy's Return" took place. less
