About the Book
Book: Hannah’s Quest
Author: Jodie Wolfe
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
Release Date: July 13, 2025
Hannah Moore escapes the overbearing grip of her relatives and forges her own way in Shippensburg, PA, far away from their clutches. Despite Hannah’s sheer determination, she finds life on her own daunting as she loses job after job. Unsure where she fits in, Hannah wonders if she’ll ever be good enough. She feels as if God has forsaken her and questions if she will ever find a place to belong. The last thing she needs is an ignorant shop keeper constantly questioning her abilities and standing in her way. Hannah will take almost any position available so as not to return to the place of her upbringing.
Luke Weiser has one goal in mind—finding a way to save his grandmother and restore her health. Only trouble is, she has other ideas about what is best for her. Gran longs to see Luke’s return to faith in the Lord, but he blames God for his grandmother’s sickness and the tragic events of his childhood. After the death of his mother, followed by his father’s abandonment, Luke refuses to trust his heart to anyone, and certainly not a wife. When Hannah keeps popping up in the hardware shop where he works, Luke is forced to think twice about his convictions.
Can two bruised hearts follow their personal quests and discover healing in the process?

More from Jodie
It’s been such a joy to set a series in the town where I graduated from college almost 40 years ago. I’m so thankful my husband suggested it, as it’s been a lot of fun digging into the history of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding area during the 19th century. Before this series, all my other books had settings in the Mid-west—Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.
When I started writing the first book, Abigail’s Pursuit, quite a number of years ago, I never intended to create a series about prodigals, let alone experience the pain of it in my life… but God knew what the future held. While each of the books in this Time to Come Home Series revolves around the common theme of a prodigal, each of the tales is a stand-alone. My prayer is for those who have children who have wandered away, or perhaps were once prodigals themselves, or even others who enjoy Christian historical romance with strong spiritual themes—that each of these groups find encouragement through reading this series.
Hannah’s Quest was exciting to write as I incorporated information about one of the oldest continually run hardware stores in PA that is still operating to this day, even though it’s changed names various times through the years. I hope you’ll enjoy stepping back in time to a small town in south-central PA where faith and family are celebrated.
Interview with the Author
What was your hardest scene to write?
My hardest scenes to write in Hannah’s Quest as well as the other books in this series is the scene where the prodigal character comes to their senses and return home. Three years ago, my husband and I were faced with having an adult prodigal son of our own. So, when I’m writing scenes about the prodigal returning home, it’s hard to not get emotional when we haven’t experienced it ourselves yet.
What is your favorite childhood book?
It’s not just one book, but the entire Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. They are what got me interested in writing.
What comes first, the plot or characters?
I think it’s been different for each book that I’ve written. More often than not though, I have an idea for a plot before the characters begin to take shape in my mind. 😊
Who is the author you most admire in your genre?
I can’t limit it to one. 😊 The books I always purchase and keep on my shelves are by Mary Connealy, Karen Witemeyer, and Jen Turano.
What do you like to do when you are not writing?
When I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time with my husband. I also like walking, reading, and knitting.
