Publisher Description:
Readers who have fallen in love with Amish Romance legends such as Beverly Lewis and Cindy Windsmall, will be charmed by this heartfelt conclusion to Hubbard’s Promise Lodge series, as the progressive ways of the Promise Lodge community are threatened by dark times… until the light of truth and love lifts them up…
For abandoned wife Annabelle Beachey, Promise Lodge is a refuge where she’s gained confidence and self-sufficiency. But she and others are dismayed when newly arrived Bishop Clayton King claims the community is too progressive and sets out to change its ways. Worse, her husband, Phineas returns, expecting her to give up her faith as he has. And he won’t leave Promise Lodge without her . . .
But little by little, Annabelle’s determination and new forthrightness make Phineas realize his mistakes—and truly hear his wife for the first time. Meanwhile, Annabelle finds herself feeling compassion—and even renewed love—for her newly humble, more caring husband. And as Bishop Clayton’s attempt to control Promise Lodge threatens everything its residents have built, Phineas and Annabelle must work together with unshakeable courage to save their new home—and their opportunity for forever happiness.

My Review:
I have loved this series written by Charlotte Hubbard and I’ve looked forward to every visit to Promise Lodge.
This book has quite an interesting storyline, and there’s a surprise twist later in the book that I didn’t see coming. As the members of the Promise Lodge Amish community deal with a distressing turn of events, the younger members are dealing with the ups and downs of falling in love. Nothing in this story, whether it’s romance or church matters, goes smoothly. Bishop Monroe realizes that he needs all the wisdom that God will grant him as he struggles to preserve their Amish community. As matters seem to get worse, the community realizes that they must draw even closer together as friends and to God.
I loved the themes of reconciliation and forgiveness in this book. More than just an excellent story, it’s a good reminder to us of how God’s love should look in our own families, churches, and communities.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
About Charlotte Hubbard
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.
