Love is Everywhere

 





Love Blooms in Morning Star

GENRE: Inspirational Romance (Amish)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~



BLURB:

As Jo Fussner keeps the Marketplace humming, her heart dances with a joyous secret. Jo and

Michael Wengerd, a shy nursery owner from a nearby town, have fallen hopelessly in love.

When Michael buys a courting buggy, Jo is sure a proposal will follow. But she’ll have to work

hard to gain her mother’s approval—because the widowed Drusilla Fussner is convinced that

marriage will bring her daughter nothing but heartache.

To win Jo’s hand, Michael enlists his father’s help in convincing Drusilla to give the marriage her

blessing—and perhaps even open her heart to new happiness of her own. . . . But just as Jo

and Michael’s hope for their future grows, an even bigger obstacle looms. The Amish elders

vote to forbid any maidel from working once she marries. Now Jo must choose between the

beloved store she’s put her heart into, and the man she can’t live without. Conflicted, Jo will

Jo was soon pulled out of the ceremonial spell the bishop wove with his words, however,

meeting Michael’s gaze again. It had been such a blessing when she’d spotted him earlier this

morning, striding toward her. As he’d done in her fondest dreams over the winter, he’d held out

his hands and she’d grabbed them as though she’d never let them go.

“I have a surprise for you, Josie-girl,” he’d whispered. “Right after the wedding, you’ll see it.”

Josie-girl. The sound of Michael’s unique endearment had made her eager heart turn

somersaults. How was she supposed to pay attention to the wedding ceremony while she

wondered about the surprise he’d promised?

But one thing Jo knew, as surely as she could bake cinnamon rolls: Michael had returned to

Morning Star loving her even more than when Mamm had sent him and his dat away at

Christmas. Michael and Nelson weren’t renting the Fussners’ dawdi haus anymore, but the

Wengerds were back in her life, and they intended to move forward with the plans they’d made

during her visit to their home in Queen City last December.

Life simply didn’t get any more exciting than that.


My thoughts: 

It is always a pleasure to read one of Charlotte Hubbard's books. There is one thing for certain when you open up one of her books,  that is you will have a book that is God-centered and encouraging to you as you read. 

I am so thrilled to be going back to Morning Star. I have missed it. Catching up with all the folks there has been a great pleasure.  It truly is a place where everyone is there to help and encourage each other and to fall in LOVE.  Love seems to be the theme of this book and it was so wonderful getting to see old friends gather and be there for a much-awaited wedding. 

I really enjoyed this book and returning to the familiar surroundings of Morning Star. If you want to be encouraged and feel the Love you must get this book and read it. I hope it brings encouragement to you.

Thank you, Charlotte for continuing to bring clean reads for so many to read and for your love of our Heavenly Father your such a blessing.

It is my pleasure and honor to have had Wanda answer a few questions for us. Thank you Wanda for taking the time out of your schedule to let us know what you have been doing and what inspires you to write.  Wanda Brunstetter Q&A QUESTION 1: When is the earliest that you remember having a passion for writing? Response: From the time I began reading I started writing short stories and poems. I had an imagination as a child. When I was in second grade I wrote a poem about a moth. My teacher thought it was good and said I might someday become an author. That little seed she planted encouraged me to keep writing. QUESTION 2: From all of the different genres that you could have chosen, how did you decide upon Amish life as your primary focus?

I have...

Something Old by Diane Christner   Something Old , the first book in a series of Plain City Bridesmaid, takes place in Plain City , Ohio , where young Katy Yoder is living her life as a Conservative Mennonite. Nursing a heart broken by her love Jake Byler when he left the faith, Katy moves on and recovers in a life of peace and simplicity. That is, until her world becomes turbulent when Jake returns seeking redemption from the church and forgiveness from her heart.   Confused, angry, and torn, Katy faces a difficult test of faith as she seeks the strength of God to forgive a man who hurt her so deeply. Her journey is one that is painfully familiar, the struggle to forgive those who have wounded us. It is in these times that we are vulnerable to temptation, to weakness of spirit, and indulgence in anger. Katy's story is one of courage that shows us how faith can show us the way, even when  we wonder if God is listening. A w...
