About the book:
It’s
been a year of tragic loss and difficult decisions for widow Rose Raber. She
thought providing for her young daughter was the greatest challenge she faced.
Until her dying mother revealed Rose was adopted—and her birth mother is
someone with much to lose if the secret comes out. As Rose struggles to
reconcile the truth with her faith—and her troubling curiosity—outgoing
newcomer Matthias Wagler is another surprise she didn’t expect. His optimism
and easy understanding inspire her. And his prospective partnership with
wealthy deacon Saul Hartzler promises a possible new life for them—together.
But with this second chance comes yet another revelation for all involved.
When
Saul’s wife unexpectedly turns up at Rose’s new job, their bond as mother and
daughter is instant and unmistakable. It isn’t long before an unforgiving Saul
discovers the truth, threatening Matthias’s livelihood and Rose’s future. Now
with more than just their happiness at stake, Rose and Matthias must find the
strength and courage to stand strong—and trust God’s enduring miracles of
motherhood, forgiveness, and love.
EXCERPT“How was your morning with Jerusalem and Vernon?” Rose asked as she managed a smile for the bishop’s wife. “I hope you were a gut little guest?”“The best company we could’ve asked for,” Jerusalem replied. “We gathered the eggs, and Gracie counted the new chicks in the barn—”“Thirty-eight!” Gracie exclaimed.“—and then we made French toast—”“And I ate two whole pieces!” Gracie crowed. “With maple surple and fried apples.”Jerusalem stopped at the edge of the tilled garden spot, and when she held out her hand, Gracie raced over to grab it. “And we played hide-and-seek with Vernon, too, didn’t we, dear?”“Jah, but I found him every time!” Gracie replied. “He thought I wouldn’t see him under that tarp, but his big butt was stickin’ out!”“Gracie,” Rose chided. “This is our bishop you’re talking about. Be polite.”Jerusalem chuckled. “She speaks the truth. Hiding isn’t Vernon’s best talent, I’m afraid. But he was a gut sport about it when Gracie found him right off.”“See, ‘Rusalem?” the little girl said, pointing to the mounded rows in the garden. “We put the lettuce on this end, and the peas down this way. Mamma said we could plant an extra long row of those, coz they’re my favorite.”
Many
moons ago—like, in 1983 while she was still a school librarian—Charlotte
Hubbard sold her first story to True Story. This launched her into
writing around seventy of those “true confessions” stories over the years, and
she’s been a slave to her overactive imagination ever since. Over the course of
her writing career, she has sold nearly 50 books—most recently, Amish romance
series she’s written as Charlotte Hubbard or Naomi King.
Charlotte
lived in Missouri for most of her life, so her Amish stories are set in
imaginary Missouri towns. These days she lives in St. Paul, MN with her husband
of 40+ years and their Border collie, Vera.
