I have always been a fan of the Amish & their religious beliefs, values, and strength. I had the privilege of reviewing this ebook free of charge thanks to Bookseeze in exchange for my honest review of the story.
The book is actually 4 stories by different authors combined into one. Each story easily flows into the next one and is somewhat predictable. I love how Innocent the love stories are, where the simple feeling of holding a mans hand can cause the butterflies in the belly.
From the Publisher:
Enjoy this Amish Christmas bestseller with an additional new novella from romance author Kelly Long.
"Christmas Cradles" by Kelly Long -- When Anna Stolis takes over for her aunt, the local Amish midwife in Paradise, Christmas night heats up with multiple deliveries, three strangers' quilts, and the help from resourceful and strong Asa Lapp, whose job it is to get Anna through a dangerous blizzard to complete her midwifery rounds.
“A Miracle for Miriam” by Kathleen Fuller: This Christmas, Miriam must decide whether to guard herself or accept the love of a man who once broke her heart.
“A Choice to Forgive” by Beth Wiseman: Lydia, a widow who has given up on love, is shocked when Daniel-- a past love-- returns to the Order, and her life.
“One Child” by Barbara Cameron: This snowy Lancaster Christmas Eve will see two couples’ lives changed by the birth of one child. Contributer Barbara Cameron is the author of fifteen novels and three nationally televised movies (HBO), as well as a recipient of the first Romance Writers of America Golden Heart.
My Take:
As I mentioned above the strories tended to be a little predictable, but I am not disapointed in the least. I also loved that the Authors seemed to have worked together to write the stories beacuse of how easily they flowed from one into the other as to the fact that all the characters always seemed to have overlapped in the book.
Its so heart warming to be able to read about the love and the struggles that the Amish faith experiences. I don't know about you, but their are days where I wish I had the simple life of now electronics Y the strong faith in our lord as they do. Personally, I wouldn't mind living among the Amish even if its for only one day.
