“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.”
BLURB:
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.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
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.
