Christmas at Promise Lodge
by Charlotte Hubbard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Inspirational
Romance (Amish)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Promise Lodge's first wedding is cause for
celebration—but the bishop's narrow-minded wedding sermon doesn't sit well with
the Bender sisters, especially widowed Mattie Schwartz. She believes marriage
and family aren't the only important gifts God gives--even if she suspects her
tender feelings for Preacher Amos Troyer run deeper than simple friendship.
Amos hasn't given up hope that stubborn, spirited Mattie will change her mind
about taking another husband, but when an accident threatens to change his life
forever, he wonders if the Lord has sent him a message. He'll need faith, hope,
and charity to find the right path—and a Christmas blessing to convince Mattie
to walk it with him.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
“Here you are!
I’ve been looking for you all morning, Mary Kate.”
Mary Kate’s eyes
widened as Roman Schwartz came around the side of the house and stepped up onto
the porch. The cats, always wary of strangers, scurried to the far corner. With
her mouth so full, all Mary Kate could do was hold up a finger as a plea to
wait until she’d chewed and swallowed her unladylike mouthful of food. Why
would Roman be here instead of on the eck, eating with the rest of the wedding
party? Did she dare hope his lidded glass pan held food from the lodge kitchen?
And where’s my
sister? she wondered as she finally managed a smile. “I—I wasn’t expecting
you,” she blurted. Feeling suddenly fat, she tried to cover her belly with her
plate, knowing that trick wouldn’t work.
Roman’s lopsided
smile made him look like a kid, although Mary Kate knew he was twenty-three or
twenty-four. “I saw you going into Noah’s house before church, but when I
looked for you during the service, I only saw your sister. Are you all right?”
Mary Kate’s cheeks
prickled with heat. “Um, Dat sort of told me to go home,” she murmured. “He has
a thing about women being seen in public when they’re . . . carrying.”
“Ah. I thought it
might be something like that. Not always easy, being the bishop’s kid, I bet.”
He glanced down as though he’d just remembered he was holding something. “I
brought you some dinner.”

AUTHOR BIO:
Many moons ago—like, in 1983 while she was still a
school librarian—Charlotte Hubbard sold her first story to True Story. This
launched her into writing around seventy of those “true confessions” stories
over the years, and she’s been a slave to her overactive imagination ever
since. Over the course of her writing career, she has sold nearly 50 books—most
recently, Amish romance series she’s written as Charlotte Hubbard or Naomi
King.
Charlotte lived in Missouri for most of her life, so
her Amish stories are set in imaginary Missouri towns. These days she lives in
St. Paul, MN with her husband of 40 years and their Border collie, Ramona.
