Morning Star




When five maidels join forces to turn an abandoned barn into an Amish marketplace, the unmarried women have community in mind. But their fledgling enterprise promises to reap surprising rewards for each in turn, including the gift of unexpected love in a heartwarming new series from fan-favorite author Charlotte Hubbard.

When five maidels join forces to turn an abandoned barn into an Amish marketplace, the unmarried women have community in mind. But their fledgling enterprise promises to reap surprising rewards for each in turn, including the gift of unexpected love . . .  
 
For Regina Miller, the new Morning Star Marketplace is a chance to share her secret work with the world—without revealing herself. Old Order Amish forbid the creation of art without purpose, but without a husband, Regina has been free to explore the joy of painting in her attic. Yet when Gabe Flaud’s curiosity leads him to speculate that Regina herself is the painter, the full weight of their community’s judgement falls on her shoulders.  
 
When Gabe stands up to defend Regina, questioning the Order’s restrictions, he reveals his own guilty secret and is shunned along with her. Forced to turn to each other for companionship, the young couple must learn to balance their own needs with their deep faith . . . and a love that will show them all things are possible.

"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 on Christmas at Promise Lodge

"[A] charming novel set in a tight knit Amish community...A leap of faith." --Simple Grace on A Simple Vow

"Thought-provoking and fresh." --Publishers Weekly on A Mother's Gift
