With gentle charm and genuine emotion, Charlotte Hubbard brings readers the first in a new spin off series set in the same delightful little Missouri town as her successful Sweet Seasons Amish romances. These stories, focused on the simple gifts of life and faith, and tied together by an Amish crafts shop of the same name, will appeal to readers searching for a return to a simpler way of life and a sweet, heartfelt romance.

Housed in a rustic red barn, the Simple Gifts crafts shop celebrates the talents of the Amish of Willow Ridge–and the faith that inspires them. For the acceptance of simplicity opens the path to love.

As far as Edith Riehl is concerned, the newborn twins thrust suddenly into her arms are a heaven-sent gift. Unable to conceive, she longs to be a mother with a home of her own. She’s going to abide by her promise to handsome Asa Detweiler to take care of them while he looks for their real father. And even if her domineering dat Cornelius refuses to countenance Asa’s suit, she can only pray the bachelor’s honesty and persistence will uncover the truth–even as he’s kindled an impossible hope for a love of her own …

Asa can’t understand why anyone would think he would be so dishonorable as to father babies and then abandon them. He’s determined to clear his name–but Edith’s caring ways also inspire him to help heal her wounded spirit and earn her trust. And in the face of heartbreaking deception, he and Edith must find the strength to understand, forgive … and claim their own hearts’ joy.
