As another year draws to a close in Willow Ridge, life seems to be changing for everyone but Rhoda Lantz. Her widowed mother is about to remarry, her sister is a busy newlywed, and soon Rhoda will be alone in her cozy apartment above the blacksmith's shop. An ad posted by an Englischer looking for someone to help with his mother and children may offer just the companionship she's looking for, but if she falls for the caring single father, she may risk being shunned by her community. Certain she can only wish for things she cannot have, Rhoda must remember that all things are possible with God, and nothing is stronger than the power of love.

Charlotte Hubbard sold her first historical romance in 1990, and she's been a slave to her overactive imagination ever since. As she writes, her stories invariably take on a life of their own, different from the way she proposed them: unforeseen characters and plot twists come along, and they keep her guessing right along with her readers!
Charlotte has lived in the Midwest most of her life. When she's not writing, she loves touring historic homes, trying new recipes, crocheting, and playing with her Border Collie, Ramona. She's a Presbyterian deacon, sings in her church choir, and plays in the percussion ensemble. She's married to a fine man who--bless him--has never once suggested she get a real job.
Don't miss this series Season of the Heart all three books are 5 star books.
Love is the greatest gift of all... I must say that Charlotte has been compared to Beverly Lewis and I have to say Charlotte's books are much better.
I love these books they are centered around Sweet Seasons Café. Super Christmas book, one to be read while wrapped in your favorite quilt while enjoying a cup of hot chocolate.
Come go back to Willow Ridge with me in this fantastic read.
I highly recommend this book. I give this book 5 stars.
I was given a copy of this book by the author for my honest review.
