At long last, a year after we read Miriam’s story in AUTUMN WINDS, it’s time to learn about Rhoda Lantz’s turn at romance! Her story is totally different from her sister Rachel’s, as Rhoda finds the man of her dreams while looking at ads posted on the bulletin board in Zook’s Market—and is in immediate trouble.
Before she’s even hung up from talking with Andy Leitner, asking about the job caring for his two kids after school, along with his aging mom, just the timbre of his voice whispers to her lonely heart, calling up forbidden longings. Word gets out about her English employer . . . a secret kiss in the moonlight . . . and Rhoda may well be shunned. Rest assured that Bishop Hiram Knepp finds ways to make Rhoda’s life miserable—and a few of HIS secrets, after the sleighing accident of his two 5-year-old twins, will get the folks of Willow Ridge up in arms, as well.
And, oh yes! Miriam and Ben will get married on New Year’s Day, but their ceremony will be interrupted by even more surprises. If you think Willow Ridge goes into hibernation during the cold winter months, think again!
I’d love to hear what you think of this story–feel free to post on my Charlotte Hubbard Facebook page, or to post a review on BN.com, Amazon and other online bookstores. Thank you so much for your interest in my Seasons of the Heart series!

About The Author:
I’ve
called Missouri home for most of my life, and most folks don’t realize
that several Old Older Amish and Mennonite communities make their home
here, as well. The rolling pastureland, woods, and small towns along
county highways make a wonderful setting for Plain populations—and for
stories about them, too! While Jamesport, Missouri is the largest Old
Order Amish settlement west of the Mississippi River, other communities
have also found the affordable farm land ideal for raising crops,
livestock, and running the small family-owned businesses that support
their families.
Like
my heroine, Miriam Lantz, of my Seasons of the Heart series, I love to
feed people—to share my hearth and home. I bake bread and goodies and I
love to try new recipes. I put up jars and jars of green beans,
tomatoes, beets and other veggies every summer. All my adult life, I’ve
been a deacon, a dedicated church musician and choir member, and we
hosted a potluck group in our home for more than twenty years.
Like
Abby Lambright, heroine of my Home at Cedar Creek series, I consider it
a personal mission to be a listener and a peacemaker—to heal broken
hearts and wounded souls. Faith and family, farming and frugality matter
to me: like Abby, I sew and enjoy fabric arts—I made my wedding dress
and the one Mom wore, too, when I married into an Iowa farm family more
than thirty-five years ago! When I’m not writing, I crochet and sew, and
I love to travel.
I
recently moved to Minnesota when my husband got a wonderful new job, so
now he and I and our border collie, Ramona, are exploring our new state
and making new friends.
My Review:
I am an avid reader, and read a lot of Amish, Charlotte Hubbard/Naomi
King is among the best. Her stories ring so true, and keep your
attention right to the end.
Winter of Wishes, is just one of those page turners. We follow up with all of the characters we have come to love, from our previous step into their lives. In this story our Rhoda Lantz is about to accept a job working for a divorced single father of two. He also has his Mother living with him, she is now handicapped from a stroke.
You could write what is about to happen in your head! Nope! We also have our sweet, loveable, Bishop Hiram back. If you have read the previous books you know Hiram, if you haven't don't worry, you will know him real fast.
Come and open the cover of this book, and you won't put it back down. You will not be disappointed. I hope there is another book for me to treasure in this series! Enjoy!
