The Journey Back: Morning Star by Charlotte Hubbard- Goddess Fish Promos Book Review/ Giveaway

About the book
When four maidens join forces to turn an abandoned barn into an Amish marketplace, the unmarried women have community in mind. But their fledgling enterprise promises to reap surprising rewards for each in turn, including the gift of unexpected love . . .

For Regina Miller, the new Morning Star Marketplace is a chance to share her secret work with the world—without revealing herself. Old Order Amish forbid the creation of art without purpose, but without a husband, Regina has been free to explore the joy of painting in her attic. Yet when Gabe Flaud’s curiosity leads him to speculate that Regina herself is the painter, the full weight of their community’s judgement falls on her shoulders. When Gabe stands up to defend Regina, questioning the Order’s restrictions, he reveals his own guilty secret and is shunned along with her. Forced to turn to each other for companionship, the young couple must learn to balance their own needs with their deep faith … and a love that will show them all things are possible.

And I thought
I was so excited to get the offer to join this tour and read this book. I have never had the privilege of reading any of Charlotte Hubbard's books!
I was not disappointed. Getting in on book one of a new series was a delight.
Morning Star was a delight.
The characters were easy to like.
The story was intriguing.
But, I felt frustration with the way of the Amish faith and how people are shunned.
But, that is the way it is.
Charlotte Hubbard does an excellent job of giving the reader a story that grabs your attention. And a story that is filled with real life and gives the reader a real glimpse inside the Amish community.

I am looking forward to reading more in this series.

I received a complimentary copy.
My review will appear on retail sites and Good Reads.
