My Review:

First, I have to say this:  I almost always refuse to read a book that has anything to do with a “millionaire” in either the storyline or title.  However, I knew that if Vannetta Chapman wrote this book it would be an entertaining one, so I made an exception to my rule.  

And I’m glad I did!  I absolutely loved the character of Becca Schwartz in this book.  Becca is spunky; cares deeply for her family and friends; is a generous person and always ready to share what she has—-but she’s also filled with curiosity.  If there’s a mystery to be solved, she’s going to solve it.  So when Daniel, their new neighbor, seems to be hiding something, Becca’s doing everything she can to find out what he’s hiding.  Daniel does not want anyone in this Amish community to know he’s a millionaire, so he buys the worst farm in the area.  Daniel, however, has underestimated Becca.  As circumstances keep bringing them together, Daniel and Becca both have much to learn about how they view themselves and allowing God to direct their paths.

This sweet Amish romance will make you smile.  As you finish, you may find yourself looking around to see how you, like Becca, can share the blessings that God has given you. This is the perfect book to read during the Christmas season, but it has a message for us to remember all throughout the year.

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