Family Secrets Are Buried in the Garden in Book Three of the Bestselling Prayer Jars Series
One of Amish Country’s most beloved storytellers, Wanda E. Brunstetter, is back with the highly-anticipated conclusion to her bestselling Prayer Jars series.

The final series installment, The Healing Jar (releasing August 6, 2019), follows the story of Lenore Lapp, an Amish schoolteacher in her late twenties still living at home with her parents and grandparents. She thought love had passed her by until she meets Jesse Smucker, a widower with a baby daughter. She quickly falls in love with them both and accepts Jesse’s proposal of marriage, but Jesse breaks off their engagement when he realizes he can’t marry only for convenience. Will Lenore resolve herself to the single life? Will she find healing for her heart and solve long-buried family secrets when she digs up an old jar in her grandmother’s garden?
