A delightful story of family, faith, and forgiveness

Charlotte Hubbard’s, newest book, A Mother’s Love, is a delightful story of family, faith, and forgiveness.

Leah and Jude can’t wait to be husband and wife, but they both are on the receiving ends of doubt from their family and community. Leah, an only child, tended to be outdoors with her father and the farm animals more than in the house with her mother learning to become a good Amish wife. Jude is a widower of three children, two teenage daughters, and a young son. The twins are in their running around time and seem to be out of control.

Leah expects her new mother-in-law to stay in the home to assist with cooking, cleaning, and child care, but she bashes that hope when she tells them that she is moving out on the day of the wedding. Leah wanted to tend to her animals and help where needed. Now she is thrust into a life with children who obviously do not want her there. She quickly learns that the struggle will be difficult if she wants to make her husband believe that everything is fine.

When Leah finally confides in Jude, the twins find out some family news that they wish they did not hear, when Jude tells the family secret. They act out even greater, but it is Leah who is there to find them and bring them home.

When a baby is abandoned on the front steps, the family is pulled together to care for little Betsy. As Leah, Jude, and the children fall in love with Betsy, they also grow closer.

Without giving away too many details, this is a very heart-warming story of love finally found and faith and trust in family.
