Meg Hobart has everything: a happy marriage
to a handsome, successful husband, a beautiful home in
Charlotte, North Carolina, and three wonderful children. But
it all comes crashing down around her the day she learns
that her husband, James, has been living a lie—and has
brought the family to financial ruin. Penniless and
homeless, the Hobarts pack up what little they still possess
and leave behind their golden life for good. But it’s not
the material things Meg finds herself mourning. Instead, she
misses the certainty that she should remain married to
James, who has betrayed her trust so thoughtlessly. Worse,
she is suddenly very aware of just how spoiled her children
have become. Meg wonders what her family has really
sacrificed in their pursuit of the American dream.
A frightening twist of fate forces the Hobarts to take
refuge with a kind Amish family in Pennsylvania, where they
find themselves in a home with no computers, no cell phones,
nothing the children consider fashionable or fun. Her
uncooperative brood confined to the Amish world of hard work
and tradition, their futures entirely uncertain, Meg fears
she can never make her family whole again.
Celebrating life’s simplest but most essential values,
packed with laughter and tears, this is a story of
forgiveness and the power of love. You will never forget the
special moment in time that is An Amish Christmas.
