My Review:  
This is a beautiful collection of Christmas-themed stories written by three favorite Amish authors.  
These stories are as sweet as the Christmas season itself, and I enjoyed reading each one of them.  By the time you finish this book, you’ll wish you could enjoy one of Rebecca’s delicious Christmas cakes or Lizzie’s beautiful cupcakes. Although the characters deal with difficult issues in each of the stories, each one highlights the power of faith in dealing with heartache and tragedy. I loved the characters in each story and how the community rallied around to help in any way they could.  If you love reading Amish fiction, or enjoy books with a faith-themed story, you’ll enjoy reading this collection.

Please note: There is a mention of child and spousal abuse in the story by Loree Lough. It’s handled appropriately, but if this is a trigger for you, please be aware of this before you read the story.


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