Morning Star by Charlotte Hubbard

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this latest book by Charlotte Hubbard.  It was new and refreshing and brought out some real things to think about as we view the Amish religion, the Ordnung and shunning.

Regina and her friends come up with a great idea as to how to rejuvenate an old barn and bring new business life to their home town of Morning Star.  Regina, who works at a furniture store where she does the finishing work, has a secret that she keeps to herself.  And hopes that she can share her beautiful artwork at the shops, without letting on that she was indeed the artist.

As the plans to open The Marketplace come to fruition, and her artwork is a hit with all the people that come there to shop, Regina finds herself trapped in a little web of lies as she covers up the fact that she was the artist.

She finds that she and Gabe, the son of the furniture store owner, have something in common.  Each with a secret that holds them both in it's grip.

This is a beautiful story of love, family, forgiveness and with many touching moments.  I found this book to be an excellent example of human frailty and imperfections.  Yet despite this, life continues and we learn from errors and through  repentance.

This is an excellent book. I couldn't put it down.  You will absolutely love it.

I received an ebook copy from the author.  All thoughts are my own.
