An Amish Family Christmas is comprised of three intertwining novellas that take place in Paradise, Pennsylvania.
A Miracle for Miriam: Seth shattered Miriam’s confidence when they were 14. Five years later, he returns to their Old Order Amish community with a renewed faith in God. He is intrigued by Miriam, but she doesn’t know if she can trust him again.
A Choice to Forgive: Lydia (Miriam’s sister) has been widowed for two years. When her husband’s brother Daniel—who was Miriam’s first love—unexpectedly returns to Paradise, Lydia fears her attraction to Daniel will dishonor her husband’s memory. When she learns of the secret Daniel and her husband had been harboring, she must choose whether to forgive either of them.
One Child: Sarah & David lost the baby she was carrying one year ago. When a young Englisch couple is stranded at their house, the wife goes into labor. Sarah and David will have to rely on their faith and each other to save the young family.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Of the three stories, One Child was my favorite, though all were well written and entertaining. Each novella can be read in one sitting, making this a great book to pick up on a snowy evening. Also included are several authentic Amish recipes that I’m anxious to try!
I received a free copy of this book for review from Thomas Nelson.

Sounds like a great set of novellas! I like them for the fact that they are quick reads when you don't have a lot of time & you can get introduced to new-to-you authors! The fact that this is Amish is very appealing to me....and recipes! Oh yea, you got me hooked now :-)
