Hannah Lapp was born and raised in an Old Order Amish home, without electricity, a telephone, or the right to follow her heart. Without her parents’ knowledge, she’s been in love with Mennonite Paul Waddell for years. When he asks her to marry him, she accepts, even though to do so will cause her family to avoid her for the rest of her life.
Before Hannah and Paul reveal their relationship, tragedy strikes. In one unwelcome encounter, all that Hannah has known and believed is destroyed and she faces losing everything: her family, her fiancé, and even her faith in God.
When the Morning Comes is the sequel and continuation of the best-selling novel When the Heart Cries. Her relationship with fiance Paul Waddell in tatters, Hannah Lapp has fled her secluded Old Order Amish community in hopes of finding a new home in Ohio with her shunned aunt. Hampered by limited education and hiding her true identity, Hannah struggles to navigate the confusing world of the Englischers.
Will the countless opportunities in her new life persuade Hannah that her place is amongst the Englischers or will she give in to her heart’s call to return home and face the past?
Rumors and lies left Hannah’s life in tatters; can the truth possibly stitch it back together?
Having fled in disgrace more than two years earlier, Hannah finally has found happiness in the Englischer world, as well as love with Martin Palmer, a man with whom she can safely entrust her heart. But almost immediately after her arrival in Owl’s Perch, the disapproval of those who ostracized her reopens old wounds.
As Hannah encounters former fiancë Paul Waddell, truths unknown to her surface about the events during her absence and she faces an agonizing decision. Will she choose the Englischer world and the man who restored her hope, or will she return to the Plain Life-and perhaps her first love?
COMING IN THE FALL OF ‘09 ~ The Hope of Refuge, book one of a three-book Amish series titled Ada’s House.
BOOKPLATES ARE NOW AVAILABLE
Many of you have asked how to obtain autographed copies of my books. The usual answer has been for you to mail your book to me and for me to sign it and mail it back.
We now have a much easier method—FREE BOOKPLATES.
Bookplates are adhesive-backed stickers that I can sign and mail to you in a regular envelope with current letter-rate postage. Putting the sticker on the title page of your book makes it an autographed copy.
If you would like a free autographed bookplate, just send your request, along with a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE*) to:
Cindy Woodsmall
P. O. Box 1420
Flowery Branch, GA 30542
*SASE: A self-addressed stamped envelope is a business-size envelope with your name, address, and the proper postage on it. Please put the SASE inside the envelope you’ve addressed to me. Include a note with the number of bookplates you’d like. You may request up to ten bookplates. If a requested number isn’t provided, we’ll send you one bookplate. These are free to you, but not to me. So please order only as many bookplates as the number of my books you currently own. If you intend to buy more books as gifts, please wait until after your purchase before you order the bookplates.
A regular first-class postage stamp (currently $0.42) will cover up to ten bookplates. A first-class postage stamp will also be sufficient for mailing your SASE envelope to me. So you’ll need two envelopes—one addressed to me, one addressed to you—each with a first-class stamp on it.
*This is what the bookplate looks like—but the actual bookplate is sharper and nicer looking.
