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...
Marilyn’s thoughts:
“God is in charge.” “I
want a second chance in life.”
It was a joy to be back in Wells Landing with the fabulous
tale of Charlotte facing midlife issues along with her family members and other
residents of Wells Landing, OK. Charlotte is spontaneous in her words and
actions but has a tender and caring heart down deep. Her impulsivity gave way
to chuckles and tears at times while reading along with wanting to shake her to
open her eyes to what was right before her. I appreciate the puzzle night
events and the vast difference in suitors Lillard created for Charlotte. This
story is filled with some unexpected and unusual events but when faith, praying
for answers and discovering being more open with feelings the unanticipated may
be the best blessing in disguise.
A New Love for Charlotte is the 11th book in the
Wells Landing series by Lillard but each one can be read as a standalone. The
characters are true to life with them facing issues that are relatable.
I received an ARC book from the author and publisher with no
obligation to write a review. I have shared my own thoughts.
