Publisher Description
Her relationship with fiancé 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. Back in Owl’s Perch, Pennsylvania, Paul is wracked with regret over his treatment of Hannah. Fearing for her safety, he tries to convince Hannah’s remaining allies–brother Luke, best friend Mary, and loyal Matthew Esh–to help search for his love. Hannah’s father, however, remains steadfastly convinced of her sinful behavior. His blindness to his family’s pain extends to her sister, Sarah, who shows signs of increasing instability. Convinced her former life is irreparably destroyed, Hannah finds purpose and solace in life with her aunt and in a growing friendship with Martin Palmer. 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 her past?

Quotes

“Cindy Woodsmall writes real—real people, real conflicts, real emotions. When you open her book, you enter her world and live the story with the characters. When the Morning Comes is a journey of discovering faith, of overcoming trauma, of learning to depend on God’s sustaining strength. I eagerly await installment three of the Sisters of the Quilt Series!”
— Kim Vogel Sawyer, author of Where the Willows Grow and Waiting for Summer’s Return -
“Through Amish and Mennonite characters in tension with their contemporary world, Cindy weaves the fabric of all faith communities hoping to be relevant to the world around them—and each other—while not losing the strengths of their forefathers and foremothers. When the Morning Comes is a fine rendering of struggle and joy that resonates long after the last words are read.”
— Jane Kirkpatrick, award-winning author of the Change and Cherish series

" I recommend all of Cindy Woodsmall's books. "

" Couldn't set it down, had to find out what happened next! "
— Mom, 2/15/2014 -
" Still didn't know that this was a trilogy. Was so mad that there was another cliffhanger I almost threw the book across the room. Still a good book. "
— Rachel, 2/15/2014 -
" The ending definatly makes you want to read the next one! "
— Darcie, 2/5/2014 -
" I surely learned more than I've ever known about the Amish people. This is why I was interested in the book in the first place. It was hard to get into and remember all the characters, but that's just because I haven't read the first book! I was quite disappointed that I have to wait for the next book to come out to find out what is going to happen. Near the end of the book I really got into it and am glad I didn't take it back to the library as I had planned when I was having difficulties with the characters. A good read if one is interested in the Amish and their lives. "
— Laura, 1/30/2014 -
" Could have been a lot better, but now I HAVE to read the last one to find out what happens. Of course everything will turn out perfectly, as usual. Sigh... "

— Annmarie, 1/18/2014 -
" I loved it. I really felt the author did a good job putting the reader into the Amish setting and lifestyle. You definitely have to read the whole series to be satisfied with the books. "
— Brittany, 1/16/2014 -
" I enjoyed the continuation of the story. It ends with Hannah leaning toward a decision that I don't want her to make, so I finished it a little frustrated. So for that reason I didn't love it quite as much as the first one. But it's still worth reading. I can't wait to read the next one. "
— Susannah, 1/10/2014 -
" Follow up to When the Morning Cries ... a bit predictible "
— Pondsitter, 12/27/2013 -
" Read this to finish out the trilogy and feel better about Hannah's ending but this series is too depressing for me. Watching how Hannah was punished by everyone in her life for her rape was very hard. "
— Traci, 12/15/2013 -
" Hannah Lapp tries a new start after she is ostracized by her Amish family. She goes to live with an Aunt and learns that she loves the medical field, but she isn't sure what lifestyle she loves- the English way of life, or the Amish. "

" Interesting look at an Amish girl living with the English. It left you needing to read the next book as it didn't really end. "
— Kathy, 5/8/2013 -
" I enjoy reading about people who are able to get over their past and make something of their lives. Looking forward to Book 3 "
— Kellie, 1/20/2013 -
" Again, this story drew me in and I had a hard time putting the book down, though I wonder how realistic these Amish characters are. Would an Amish woman so easily adapt and fit into the 'Englishers' world? "
— Faith, 10/10/2012 -

" Mrs. Woodsmall did not abandon her style or the quality of her writing. I read this book in 2 days. The review above makes the book sound mundane and trite. I don't think it is. "
