Weddings at Promise Lodge by Charlotte Hubbard
Book Excerpt:
When Rosetta sat down at the eck table beside Truman, the
light in his eyes made her hold her breath.
“Honey-girl, if your new bishop allows us to marry, when do
you want to tie the knot?” he murmured as he grasped her hand. “I fell
head-over-heels for you the moment I met you last summer, making dinner in that
big kitchen—”
“Jah, the way to a
man’s heart has always been through his stomach,” Rosetta teased. Her heart was
hammering in her chest, and she suddenly felt like a tongue-tied teenager. It
still surprised her, the way Truman made over her and waxed so romantic,
considering he was somewhat younger than she was.
Truman smiled. “I have no fears of going hungry after we
marry,” he murmured, rubbing his thumb over her hand. “But my clock’s ticking.
I’m thirty and I want a family—and I can’t wait to watch you grow big with our
children, Rosetta.”
Rosetta held her breath. She, too, had dreamed of mothering
a large family, but the years after losing her first fiancé and then caring for
her aging parents had slipped by. Even though God granted children to women who
were older than she, at thirty-seven, Rosetta was concerned about getting such
a late start. “My clock’s ticking, too,” she murmured. “I—I hope I’ll be able
to have healthy, normal babies—”
Truman squeezed Rosetta’s hand, gazing at her until her
worries disappeared. “We’ll do our best,” he stated. He smiled playfully.
“Maybe we should slip away and start practicing right now—and keep at it until
we get it right.”
Rosetta felt her face flushing. Truman’s way of making her
feel desirable was only one of the reasons she loved him. “We’d better speak
with Monroe soon,” she teased. “And gee, since the tables are already set up
for a crowd—and we’ll still have lots of food—maybe he’d marry us tomorrow.”
Truman picked up his fork. “That would suit me fine,
time-wise, but you deserve better than someone else’s leftovers, Rosetta. We
should have our own special day. Soon.”

Author Bio:
Many moons
ago—like, in 1983 while she was still a school librarian—Charlotte Hubbard sold
her first story to True Story. This launched her into writing around seventy of
those “true confessions” stories over the years, and she’s been a slave to her
overactive imagination ever since. Over the course of her writing career, she
has sold nearly 50 books—most recently, Amish romance series she’s written as
Charlotte Hubbard or Naomi King.
Charlotte lived
in Missouri for most of her life, so her Amish stories are set in imaginary
Missouri towns. These days she lives in St. Paul, MN with her husband of 40+
years and their Border collie, Vera.
