The Healing Jar

What if You Waited for Love — and It Still Slipped Away?

Lenore Lapp is an Amish schoolteacher in her late twenties, still living at home, still waiting. She had begun to believe that love had simply passed her by — until Jesse Smucker walked into her life with a baby daughter and a quiet kind of need that Lenore understood. She fell in love with them both. She said yes when he proposed. And then he broke her heart.

Jesse couldn’t go through with it. He knew he wasn’t ready — that marrying for convenience wasn’t fair to either of them. But knowing that doesn’t make the loss any easier for Lenore to bear.

Resigned to a life alone, Lenore pours herself into caring for her aging grandparents. And then, while working in her grandmother’s garden, she digs up an old jar — with a note inside. What she finds there will begin to unravel long-buried family secrets, and perhaps, in ways she never expected, begin to heal the broken places in her own heart.

The Healing Jar is a tender, beautifully written Amish novel from Wanda E. Brunstetter — a story about waiting, about loss, about the quiet ways God works healing into the most unexpected places, and about the truth that His plans for us are never finished.
