Summer of Secrets

Charlotte Hubbard’s ‘Summer of Secrets’ is the first book in the Seasons of the Heart series. Located in Willow Ridge, Missouri, the Sweet Seasons Bakery Café in this quaint Amish community honors the traditional ways of life. God gives us love, and summertime is a time for fresh starts for Rachel Lantz. She can’t wait to tie the knot with the attractive carpenter Micah Brenneman, her childhood sweetheart.

But Rachel’s future becomes uncertain when an enigmatic Englischer shows around, claiming to be the long-lost sister of Rachel and her twin Rhoda. Rachel and Micah discover that even when God’s purpose is unclear, it will always bring them back to one another as arguments erupt and the days grow hotter. A touching story for readers who enjoy Amish Christian literature and Beverly Lewis.
