Review of “The Amish Christmas Matchmaker” by Vannetta Chapman

Description

“She’ll find him a wife for Christmas…Which of these Indiana Amish Brides is next?

With her wedding business thriving, Annie Kauffmann could never leave her beloved Amish community. So when handsome Amish cowboy Levi Lapp tries to convince her father to move the family to Texas, she must put a stop to it. If Annie finds Levi a wife, he might forget his dream of moving…but can she keep from falling for him herself?”

My Review:

This is a lovely story about two Amish young people who have completely different dreams of the future.  Annie wants to stay in her Amish community for the rest of her life, and Levi wants to establish a new Amish community in Texas.  Despite the tension between them, they soon realize what the future could hold for them as a couple, if they can only find a way to reconcile their completely different outlooks for the future.

Annie and Levi’s courtship was entertaining.  Both were stubborn and and unmovable  as far as their goals for the future and were determined to have their own way.  The sparks flying between them made me smile.  I wasn’t sure how they would find their happily-ever-after, and had to keep reading to the end to see how the author would resolve the conflict.  This story is a good reminder to trust God to provide the way when He’s leading us to something new.  

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
