Title: Amish Christmas Blessings
Authors: Marta Perry & Jo Ann Brown
Publisher: Love Inspired
Release Date: October 18, 2016
Genre: Amish Fiction (Novellas)
A special 2-in-1 story to celebrate the holidays!
The Midwife's Christmas Surprise by Marta Perry: Three years ago, the
man Anna Zook hoped to marry left her and their Amish community for the English
world. Now devoted to proving her abilities as a midwife, Anna has given up on
marriage and children for herself. But when Benjamin Miller returns, now a
changed man, can delivering a Christmas baby reunite these two hurting hearts?
A Christmas to Remember by Jo Ann Brown: When a little girl leads shop owner Amos
Stoltzfus to an Amish woman in distress, he rushes them to his family's farm.
"Linda" has no memory and doesn't know if the sweet child is her
daughter or even her kin. As Christmas arrives and Linda's identity is
revealed, will Amos be able to claim his holiday guests as his own?
The Midwife's Christmas Surprise touched on lost love and forgiveness, while A Christmas to Remember is about generosity, hospitality and mainly finding love unexpectedly. Both are easy to read and quick romantic stories, but packs in much more than the number of pages it suggests. It's surprising how it delved on some serious issues in such a short amount of time. And that is a testament to the good writing by both authors. I did not find one area that had be questioning nor editorial issue. It was simply an enjoyable read.
