Custard Pumpkin by Claire: Old Timey Holiday Kitchen Book 34
Their
joint cause allows them to drift apart. Can a mystery create a bond of love
between them?
For Claire's small German village,
it is a black summer. Typhoid hits the townspeople and surrounding farms with a
vengeance. With Claire's parents dead, she struggles to know how she will
survive.
When a call for volunteers goes through her part of Germany—a chance to settle
in Michigan and Christianize the local tribe—she seizes the opportunity. She
hopes to forge a new future--one filled with possibility rather than
starvation.
As a single woman, she must travel
as the unpaid servant to the only other couple going from her village, the
young preacher Hans Mueller and his wife. Unfortunately, Claire's prospects
change radically when the man's wife perishes in the epidemic. The reverend
offers marriage as a way for Claire to travel with him. Reluctant but
determined, she agrees.
She and her husband arrive in a new land carrying their old grief. Hans has not
left behind his grief for the wife he so recently lost. He throws himself into
the work of building the settlement for their community. Claire is at a loss on
how to be a wife to a man who does not want one. Instead, she spends her time
with women from the Chippewa tribe.
Mischief and then outright vandalism threatens the settlement. Are the
Chippewa—the people Claire views as friends—responsible? What can stop the
sudden surge of hate that springs up in the missionary community founded to
spread the love of Christ?
Finally, Claire and Hans are united in a way not even marriage had brought
about. They are determined to discover who wants to drive away the German
immigrants, but at what cost? Perhaps one or both of their lives.
Discover
how custard pumpkin plays a role in not only bringing peace and forging a bond
between the Chippewa and the settlement but also winning the heart of Claire’s
groom. Sink into a comfy spot and enjoy this sweet historical romance today.
