Founded by five unmarried and enterprising Amish maidels, the
new Morning Star Marketplace in small-town Missouri is preparing for a
joyous Christmas season. But will the holiday also bring unexpected tidings of love?
Twin sisters Molly and Marietta Helfing are eagerly anticipating
Christmas, with Marietta fully recovered from cancer and their noodle
making business thriving. But Molly clearly misses having former tenant
Pete Shetler and his rambunctious dog, Riley, around. Marietta can’t
ignore Molly’s feelings for Pete—or the anxiety it stirs within her.
Convinced her illness has made her unmarriageable, Marietta wonders what
kind of life she’ll have if her sister marries—despite Molly’s promise
to never leave her behind. . .
Then a fire destroys the home of Amish neighbors and Molly and Marietta graciously make room for widower Glenn Detweiler, his dat,
and his two young boys. When Pete returns to help the family rebuild,
Molly relishes her reunion with the handsome carpenter, while Marietta
delights in mothering Glenn’s boys—and is surprised by her poignant bond
with their quiet, brooding father. Soon everyone is wondering if this
season will bring the blessing of a merry double wedding to Morning Star.

About The Author
Charlotte Hubbard sold her first historical
romance in 1990, and she's been a slave to her overactive imagination
ever since. As she writes, her stories invariably take on a life of
their own, different from the way she proposed them: unforeseen
characters and plot twists come along, and they keep her guessing right
along with her readers!
Charlotte has lived in the Midwest most
of her life. When she's not writing, she loves touring historic homes,
trying new recipes, crocheting, and playing with her Border Collie,
Ramona. She's a Presbyterian deacon, sings in her church choir, and
plays in the percussion ensemble. She's married to a fine man who--bless
him--has never once suggested she get a real job!Website
My Review
Charlotte Hubbard is one of my favorite authors, and I know that reading
her books are like receiving a warm hug, and this read did not
disappoint.
Now if you've read some of the previous books about
the Marketplace, you will be reunited with past friends, but this is a
book that can be read alone! This read will update you on friends, and
questionable characters, whom we are now about to embrace.
We are left hanging with some of the people we now know, so I am hoping for another visit to Morning Star, and more updates!
This
is a book that does not disappoint, yes, there are some sad happenings,
but there are several warm and fuzzy! The only problem I have is that
the book ends, and I need to close the cover!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kensington Books, and was not required to give a positive review
