Publisher's summary

For Leah Otto, marrying Jude Shetler is a long-held dream come true. As a young girl, she was captivated by his good looks and talent as an auctioneer. When Jude, now a widower with three children, begins to court her, Leah doesn't hesitate. Other men may not appreciate her tomboy ways, but Jude values Leah's practical nature and her skill with the animals she tends, and both enter the marriage with joy and optimism.

Three months later, Leah feels as if her world is coming down around her. Her twin teenage step-daughters, Alice and Adeline, are pushing boundaries and taking far too many risks, while five-year-old Stevie deeply misses his mother. Leah, more at ease in a barn tending her goats and chickens than in a kitchen, struggles with her housekeeping duties.

Then a baby is abandoned on their doorstep, and Leah must search her soul. Caring for little Betsy fills her with renewed purpose and the strength to begin pulling her family together. With Jude's steadfast support, Leah finds that what she once thought of as a happy ending may be something even better - the beginning of a life rich in love, faith, and unexpected blessings.

Great story

Lots of family and outside family characters, stepchildren, stepmom and how the Amish handled relationships in a positive way.
A lot of tag teams going on but especially enjoyed the tag teams of Leah and her mom, Jude and his brother, Jeremiah, who is a bishop.
Narrator was great, also.

What a Gift

This was a great book, it gives you a loving feeling and brings you back to wanting to be a good person, wanting that kind of life. I’m looking forward to more books by this author

A Mother’s Gift

Just loved it and was surprised when the ending came up. So we’ll written and I could relate so much of this story to my own life. The Narrator handles all the different ones so well. Female narrator is the best at handling the male character.

AWESOME

Most amazing story. I love her books. Can't wait for more like this one.

Another Storyline to Grab Your Heart!

Charlitte Hubbard is officially my favorite author of Amish Fiction. And this lovely srory doesn't disappoint. My only problem now is that I've listened to all of her books on Audible!!! I sure hope she writes more!

A good story

I love this story because it’s showing me that God is always good. Sometimes we don’t see it right away.

Great story

Sure a heart warming story about how two people fell in love with each other and how an exstented family all came together

Was how twins life’s was changed.

I loved the wife approach to every situation. The true spirit of God in her response and yet her human side. When it became too much to bear. The husband listened to his wife. And found a way to bring happiness to his wife. The found a way to communicate with the young son and the twins. Great story line and a fantastic ending. I wise this would become a series.

Good sweet book
