New Beginnings at Promise Lodge

Three sisters bought an old church campground and transformed it into an Amish community.  The sisters transformed the lodge into apartments and the cabins into homes they sold to other Amish families.  Frances Lehmann needs to sell her house to cover bills since her husband died.  Her daughter, Gloria, is very much against it and is very upset that her mom would think of such a thing.  Gloria is also a very spoiled girl who gets upset when a man she likes ends up liking someone else.

At the same time, Marlin Kurtz wants to start courting Frances, but his son vehemently disagrees with the thought of his father needing companionship.  Between Frances' daughter and Marlin's son, their romance is off to a rocky start, so much so that Frances asks him not to court her. 

Integral to the plot is the fall that Frances had in her house because she slipped on the shawl Gloria left on the newel post and sprained her wrists so badly she had to have them splinted for six weeks.  She could do nothing for herself, and Gloria was of little help, so the aid Frances needed fell to her other daughter Mary Kate or to Marlin. 

Somehow or other I've been listening to some reddit posts about entitled people, and Charlotte Hubbard has woven them into the storyline with aplomb.  She must have been listening to the same ones I have.  This is a fun story to read and doesn't take long at all.  Charlotte has woven a plot that is compelling and engrossing, which I engaged in with both feet. 

New Beginnings at Promise Lodge is a five star book, with two thumbs up, and a man who will take the good with the bad in life and make it all come up roses.
