Biography [ edit ]
Brunstetter grew up in Tacoma, Washington .[6] Her parents disapproved of her wish to be an author when she grew up; her father called her "a dreamer." She was 60 years of age when her first book was published in 1997,[6] and she would have to wait another three years before her second book was accepted by a publishing house.[7]
Brunstetter worked as a typist for the government and met her husband through work while he was stationed at Fort Lewis .[6] Brunstetter's husband, Richard, who grew up in a Mennonite church, was the catalyst for her interest in the Amish . Brunstetter has always tried to portray the Amish culture accurately and uses her personal connection to the Mennonite community for research for her books.[8] She and her husband have two children.[6]
In 1980, her mother asked her to take a correspondence course on writing and afterwards, Brunstetter began to sell work to children's magazines and religious publications.[6]
Library Journal writes that Brunstetter has a "trademark gift of storytelling."[9] Her dialogue includes phrases from the Dietsch language.[10]
In addition to her adult Amish fiction , she also writes for middle-grade readers.[11] She has published cook-books about Amish cooking which include facts about the Amish.[12]
