Woman of Courage by Wanda Brunstetter

This story, Woman of Courage, took a little while for me to connect with.  The main character, Amanda, speaks in Quaker English and I was put off by it for a while.  As the story progressed, it became more and more interesting, and by the middle, I was interested to see what would happen to the characters.  Amanda's bravery is inspiring, as she faces all sorts of challenges that aren't even on my radar screen today.
