Softly Blows the Bugle by Jan Drexler

-

 #Softly blows the Bugle #  by  Jan Drexler is an Amish  Fiction book.  This book is  the third in the the Amish of Weaver's Creek series. Jan  brings a wonderful perspective  to her writings with her Amish and Mennonite back round.   The  book is  beautifully written.   It  has  romance , suspense, and action.   The  Amish  values  are  woven in a beautiful way into this book.  The book takes  place in 1863.   The book is written  from   Elizabeth Kauffman's  perspective.  She  strives to be kind, loving, honest in her  dealings with others.  The themes are : forgiveness,  steadfast love, faithfulness, loss. , resilience .  I  like Aaron as a character in the book. He  was in the Battle  of  Vicksburg.  . He  lost his  leg.  There is a scene in the book when  one of the young  children are  at risk from a bull hurting  him.  Aaron  puts  his body over the child to  protect him and  prevent  him from getting hurt.  Aaron already has his own challenges  getting around  one one leg.  How many people  would  be so  caring and self  sacrificing  for others.   Thank you     to the author,  the publisher, netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book.  I  really enjoyed the book. I hope it is very successful.   the opinions are my own.
