PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
Renewed faith and happiness await three generations of women in this heartwarming series from Amy Lillard, set in the Oklahoma Amish community of Wells Landing . . . With her daughter newly married, widow Charlotte Burkhart should have been content to find a companion for her later years in Amish widower Glenn Esh. Yet, Charlotte longs for more than life has offered her thus far. When she discovers a baby on her doorstep, the child seems like the miracle Charlotte’s been praying for. Unfortunately, Glenn doesn’t feel the same way. What’s a single woman aching to experience motherhood once more to do? From the moment Paul Brenneman sees Charlotte Burkhart with a new baby, he senses his lovely neighbor and the sweet child are meant to be. Which is why he offers to marry Charlotte and make her adoption dreams come true. No stranger to heartache himself, the stalwart widower knows second chances don’t happen every day—especially not with a woman like Charlotte, the first woman in a long time who has him taking a leap of faith that happily-ever-after is still possible . . . “Lovely . . . Lillard does an excellent job of depicting with accuracy and compassion the difficulties faced by those with mental disabilities. This affecting tale will surely inspire.”—Publishers Weekly on Loving Jenna (Starred Review)

My Review:
I loved this newest book in the “Wells Landing” series by Amy Lillard. Charlotte’s experienced quite a bit of change in the last few months. Her only daughter has married; her mother-in-law is ready to announce her engagement; and Charlotte herself is going through a health challenge. She feels empty, unsettled, and dreads living alone. However, the minute she meets handsome Glen Esh at church, she just knows she’s supposed to marry him. That marriage will come at great cost to Charlotte—if she marries Glen, she’ll lose her close friendship with Paul Brenneman. And on top of all of this, a baby is left on her doorstep. Charlotte’s determined to carve her own path to happiness. But could it be that God has a different path for her to follow?
I loved reading Charlotte’s story and watching her learn that dependence on God was the best decision she could make. She has a forthright and sometimes prickly personality, but she had a deep compassion for her family. Her care and devotion for the baby that was left on her doorstep was heart-touching. Paul Brenneman was an all-around good guy, and I couldn’t help but hope that Charlotte would see her future with Paul. This is another good book in the series, and I’m hoping to read more from these characters.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
