Description

“Hubbard writes Amish stories with style and grace.” —RT Book Reviews

As the year draws to a close, the brand-new colony of Promise Lodge is thriving, a welcoming community that offers three Amish sisters a fresh start. And as Christmas approaches, gifts big and small are given with love . . .

As Promise Lodge’s first wedding arrives, the evidence of a community building a foundation for the future is a cause for celebration. But the bishop’s narrow-minded wedding sermon doesn’t sit well with the Bender sisters, the town’s courageous founders, especially widowed Mattie Schwartz. She believes marriage and family aren’t the most important of God’s gifts—even if she suspects her tender feelings for Preacher Amos Troyer run deeper than simple friendship.

Amos hasn’t given up hope that stubborn, spirited Mattie will change her mind about taking another husband, but when an accident threatens to change the course of his life forever, he wonders if the Lord has sent him a message. He’ll need faith, hope, and charity to find the right path—and a Christmas blessing to convince Mattie to walk it with him.

Advance Praise

“Hubbard excels at weaving a feminist perspective into the daily realities of Amish life…The story goes beyond the stereotypes and describes with sensitivity and tact how strong women can uphold their community’s traditions, keep the faith, and forge new futures.” - Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW

“Hubbard continues to deliver Amish novels that sparkle with warmth as well as grace. The Promise Lodge community contains endearing characters, subtle humor and gentle faith. This second book in the series is just as well written and delightful as the first, though the two books are slightly different in tone. The varying plot threads maintain a steady pace and keep reader interest engaged throughout the story. However, it’s the genuine characters that truly are the heart of this novel.”- RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars
