Returning to the fan-favorite world of Promise Lodge, the small-town Missouri setting for her beloved Amish inspirational romance novels, Charlotte Hubbard charms readers with a Mother’s Day themed tale perfect for fans of Shelley Shepard Gray and Beth Wiseman!
A season of change has blessed the Amish of Missouri’s Promise Lodge, as mothers-to-be anticipate the arrival of their little miracles and one young man’s life is about to take an unexpected turn as he sheds his bad boy reputation and embraces the value of faith and hard work.
Long-time residents of Promise Lodge welcome a wave of newcomers that includes a pretty potter who’s come to help an expectant couple, and a hard-working dairy expert ready to manage the herds on the expanding Burkholder farm. Then there’s Isaac Chupp, the handsome, charming son of a notoriously unyielding Bishop from nearby Coldstream. Isaac has recklessly rebelled against his dat, and his bad boy reputation precedes him. Now he seeks a fresh start, applying for work at Dale Kraybill’s bulk store.
Proving himself reliable while Dale takes off for his wedding trip is Isaac’s bold first step. But more miraculous awakenings may come as he settles into the warm new light of the faithful community. And while Promise Lodge celebrates an abundance of newborns as summer turns to fall, Isaac discovers a kindred soul who has her own share of challenges. In helping her, he just may find his true purpose in loving selflessly, building up, and giving back . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hubbard (Hidden Away at Promise Lodge) wraps up the Promise Lodge series with an energetic if overstuffed tale of unexpected love. Bad-boy Isaac Chupp is eager to escape a checkered past in Coldstream, Mo., for a quieter life in the Amish colony of Promise Lodge. But his reputation travels fast between the two communities, which are a three-hour drive apart. Soon nearly the whole town knows about his drunken exploits, including accidentally setting two barns on fire when he knocked over lit lanterns. Storekeeper Dale Kraybill is willing to give Isaac a job if he makes amends with those he's harmed, which Isaac hopes might persuade Vera Brubaker that he's "worthy of her time." But when Vera starts to get close to Ezra Overholt, Isaac makes a jealous blunder that spoils his chances with her. Things become even more complicated when Maria Zehr, who's recently returned to town, sets her sights on Ezra. After several more twists and turns, Maria and Isaac find their way to one another and sparks fly, though they'll need to keep their volatile emotions in check to build a future together. While the many relationships and subplots can be hard to track, Hubbard's fans will appreciate cameos by favorite characters from other books in the series, and there's more than enough heart to keep readers hooked until the end. This is good fun.
