Renewed faith and happiness await three generations of women in
this heartwarming series from Amy Lillard, set in the Oklahoma Amish
community of Wells Landing . . .
With her
daughter newly married, widow Charlotte Burkhart should have been
content to find a companion for her later years in Amish widower Glenn
Esh. Yet, Charlotte longs for more than life has offered her thus far.
When she discovers a baby on her doorstep, the child seems like the
miracle Charlotte’s been praying for. Unfortunately, Glenn doesn’t feel
the same way. What’s a single woman aching to experience motherhood
once more to do?
From the moment Paul Brenneman sees Charlotte
Burkhart with a new baby, he senses his lovely neighbor and the sweet
child are meant to be. Which is why he offers to marry Charlotte and
make her adoption dreams come true. No stranger to heartache himself,
the stalwart widower knows second chances don’t happen every
day—especially not with a woman like Charlotte, the first woman in a
long time who has him taking a leap of faith that happily-ever-after is
still possible.
About The Author
I live in Tulsa, though I was born in Mississippi. I moved to the Sooner State when I was seventeen and met my soul mate and best friend not long after. I’ve retained a little of my Mississippi accent though most people think I’m from Texas. (?) Rob and I have been married for over twenty-five years and have a son–a mom proclaimed prodigy, of course!
I love homemade tacos, nail polish, and romance novels–not necessarily in that order. I’m a big fan of classic country music, a staunch proponent of saving the Oxford comma, and I’m shamefully obsessed with all things Harry Potter.
I dislike people trying to convince me to read the Twilight series (I’ll get to it or I won’t, either way I’m good with it), gratuitous violence, and strawberry ice cream. (I know I’m alone on this last one, and again, I’m good with it.)
Favorite movies–(besides HP) French Kiss, Maid of Honor, A Lot Like Love, Just Married, and Sweet Home Alabama. Oh, and Miss Congeniality, Sabrina (both versions) and a 1940’s movie called Dear Ruth. If you haven’t seen it, you should! A-dorable. Anything with Doris Day and most all of Marilyn’s and Audrey’s.
My Review
This is the 11th book in the Wells Landing series, but this can be read alone. My opinion of Charlotte was much better with this read, she is impulsive, but caring and has a lot of love to give.
Her daughter Jena is back along with her husband Buddy, and yes they each had their own book, along with her mother-in-law Nadine.
We meet Charlotte new loves, and yes there are more than one, and more than two, but you will have to turn the pages to see them.
I am hoping for more in this series, and I love being updated on past reads with the recurring characters.
Come and join Charlotte as she tries to find a purpose for her life, and ends up with more than she expected!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kensington, and was not required to give a positive review.
