MY THOUGHTS.....
Charlotte Burkhart is a 43 year old widow searching for a purpose in her life. Her daughter has married, her widowed mother-in-law is engaged, and Charlotte feels so alone. It isn't until an "English" baby is left on her doorstep that Charlotte realizes how badly she needs to feel wanted and needed! Perhaps this baby and marriage to Glenn Esh is what God has planned for her!
A New Love for Charlotte is a thought-provoking story about middle-aged people searching for love and happiness, and as much as I liked Charlotte, I couldn't understand how she could consider marrying Glenn. It was apparent to me that her neighbor Paul Brenneman was her perfect match but their friendship obscured her from seeing what was so obvious to others. It was baby Amber, however, that made this such a special story. Author Amy Lillard captures the absolute joy that comes from nuzzling a baby's neck and smelling its sweetness, and I was totally wrapped up in Charlotte's dilemma. She loved and wanted this baby and she was sure she could be a good mother to Amber, but what chance was there that a middle-aged Amish widow would be allowed to adopt an English baby?
This story made me cry, it made me smile, and it left me feeling warm and fuzzy! If you are looking for a heart-warming romance filled with hope and faith, you will certainly enjoy A New Love for Charlotte.
