A Gift Worth Waiting For
By Tracy Fredrychowski
This story is part of the “Amish Christmas Miracles” collection
My Review:
What a sweet story! As I read the first few pages, my heart went out to Amanda Beiler, the main character in this story. Amanda’s mother has just passed away, and Amanda is now the sole caretaker of her seven younger sisters. As Amanda looks toward her future, she feels her dream of marriage and a family of her own is slipping away. Her faith is shaky, and life seems sad and uncertain. Adam Weaver, Amanda’s neighbor, is still grieving the loss of wife and child, but as he sees Amanda’s struggles, he feels compelled to help Amanda’s family in any way he can. I enjoyed following the growing friendship between Amanda and Adam, and seeing them both come to realize that God had wonderful plans for their lives that surpass what they could imagine.
Although this story is shorter in length, it’s full of hope, faith, and love. It’s perfect reading for the busy Christmas season and turning our thoughts towards God’s goodness to us.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are

About Tracy Fredrychowski
Tracy Fredrychowski is a country girl, author, homesteader and everything simple living. She has a passion for writing about the simpler side of life, much like the life she lived growing up in rural Pennsylvania.
Her life has always been intertwined with the Amish, and it’s only fitting that she has a genuine passion for their simplicity, sense of community and God-centered lives.
Growing up in Northwest Pennsylvania she spent her childhood immersed deep in Amish Country. The clip-clop of horse and buggy woke her each morning as Amish men drove past her childhood home on their way to work. As a young woman, she was traumatized by an Amish murder that involved a family member and changed her life forever.
Even though she currently lives in South Carolina her travels take her through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin’s Amish Country every year. During those stops, she researches the communities she visits and prides herself on writing Amish fiction that truly represents the Amish culture. She considers herself very fortunate to have made friends in those communities and values the information they share and wants nothing more than to represent their lifestyle as accurately as possible.
