When the Morning Comes (Sisters of the Quilt, Book 2)

How very refreshing to come across a writer like Cindy Woodsmall, who is able to create characters and storylines that are totally absorbing to the reader without the addition of smut and profanity. I read her first book in this series, went right out and got the second, and can't wait till the third! In my opinion, her books are right up there with the works of Beverly Lewis. I am now a fan!

While I am by no means a professional writer, I know what I like, and I am just blown away by Cindy Woodsmall's books. When The Morning Comes is the 2nd book in her Sisters of the Quilt series, and I snatched it up the day it hit the shelves.
Ms. Woodsmall's writing grabbed me by the heart, and I cannot seem to put her books down until I am finished with them. She tells a very powerful story, and I for one am waiting impatiently for the last of this series!

I loved this book every bit as much as the first one in the series. I bought it as soon as it came out and it's a real page-turner. You can't help but think about Hannah and the people left behind in Owl's Perch even when you're finished with it! Love love love this series and am waiting for Ms. Woodsmall's next volume!!!!

Hannah is a victim of rape and pregnancy in a tight Amish village. The officials have turned against her and her family sided with them. Heartbroken and distraught, Hannah decides to leave her finance Paul who also doubts her story, and begin life anew with a shunned aunt several hours away whom she has never met.

As difficult as her new life is, her Aunt is very ill and loves her unconditionally, taking her in and assisting with her change of name, education, driving and integration.

Enter Martin. A handsome, older Englisher man who was raised by the shunned aunt drops into Hannah's life and is quite unwelcome and unliked by her. She is determined to stay focused on her nursing education and caring for her dearly loved aunt.

Meanwhile, Paul is getting on with life, both of them assuming way too much, leading to misunderstanding and pain. Her Amish mother and sister long for her greatly and there is a split in that humble household. As the book ends, both Hannah and Paul are making new lives for themselves in two very different worlds... but have they stopped loving each other?

A work of art from this author. BOOK THREE PLEASE....

I love this book and this new writer! I happened upon the first book by chance and couldn't wait to buy the 2nd one....now frustrated that I have to wait for the 3rd. Best new author I've read in a long time!
