Wanda Brunstetter is a best-selling author of Amish stories and novels. In “Woman of Courage”, Ms. Brunstetter tells the story of a young Quaker woman who is bound and determined to follow her father to minister to the Nez Percé Indians. He has hired a guide for the long journey. Along the way, her father becomes ill and dies and the guide is killed. Amanda Pearson is determined to get to the mission. She tries to move forward alone, but when winter weather and wild animals almost kill her, she accepts the help of a trapper, who takes her to friends to recuperate.
His story is very compelling but almost unbelievable for the fact that a young woman tries to traverse the western plains alone. Her courage is no doubt strong, but at the same time, her choices are not well thought out.
