First Light in Morning Star (Maidels of Morning Star #2) by Charlotte Hubbard


 

This book carries on the story of the group of maidels in the first Morning Star book.  The one featured this time is  Lydianne Christner. She is the new teacher at the newly built schoolhouse.  She used to work in the local furniture shop but recently applied for the open teaching position. Bishop Jeremiah Shetler, a widower, is taking a special interest in her.  All the maidels got together and came up with the idea of turning an old barn into a marketplace.  Now they all have stalls in the market as well as other local craftsman.  The proceeds go to the fund their church uses to help members that have medical bills or other needs and also finance projects such as the new schoolhouse.  Lydianne is also the bookkeeper for the market.  This is a fun story that takes up the tale of the basically the whole village of Morning Star.  I’m sure there will be more to the series.  Charlotte Hubbard has a knack for making these characters real and interesting and making the reader feel part of the whole group. 

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from NetGalley.  All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
