Hannah's time of healing


This review is from: When the Morning Comes (Sisters of the Quilt, Book 2) (Paperback) is the sequel to When the Heart Cries. When book one ended with poor forsaken Hannah, weak from delivering her stillborn baby girl, I rushed to the library to find the sequel. I had to know what would happen between her and her fiance Paul. My heart was broken for the main character as she was wrongly accused and deserted by family and community. From an old letter found in her father's room, Hannah learned of Aunt Zebeth, though the family never acknowledged her existence. She sets out to find her long lost relative. Through a series of divine appointments Hannah finds her aunt and she starts to heal. Cindy Woodsmall's insight into the Amish communtiy comes from her close friend, Miriam Flaud, a woman immersed in the culture of Old Order Amish. However, it seemed Hannah was mighty quick to shift from her Amish ways to her new lifestyle. Cars and cellphone and a spunky attitude gave me pause. Thankfully the third book in the series set the world aright.
