CHRISTMAS IN SUGARCREEK was my first book by Shelley Shepard
Gray but it will not be my last. This is the romantic love
story of Judith
Graber, the obedient daughter and Ben Knox the town bad boy.
Ben left
town two years ago and has come back to Sugarcreek to sell
his parents
home and then move on. At least that is what he is telling
himself! Then he
runs into Judith. He has always admired Judith and all that
she has. Her
family, her beauty, her faith. He has always felt he isn't
good enough to
even be in her company. Then one day, while he is back in
town, Judith's
father asks him to work In his store until Christmas. Now
this is where
things get interesting between him and Judith. He has
always cared for
Judith, but won't admit it for fear of opening up his heart
and being hurt.
They both fight their feelings for each other but, they
can't ignore them
either.
You will also meet Judith's younger brother, Caleb. He is
sweet on
Rebecca, but is torn with the signals she is sending him.
She has a secret
she doesn't want Caleb to know. While Rebecca has strong
feelings for
Caleb she is embarrassed by how bad things are in her home
since her
father was laid off. Caleb refuses to let go and with
persistence, finds out
what is really going on with Rebecca.
The third couple in CHRISTMAS IN SUGARCREEK are Robert and
Lilly.
Lilly was an Englisher and Robert, Amish. He leaves the
Amish faith to be
with Lilly and they join the Mennonites. They are both
making sacrifices
and are learning how to act in their new lives but, Lilly is
struggling. She
tries to be the good and practical wife to Robert but winds
up burning
almost every meal and feels,she is not enough for what
Robert needs and
deserves. She is worried that Robert will regret leaving
his Amish faith to
be with her.
CHRISTMAS IN SUGARCREEK is the fourth book in Shelley
Shepard Gray's Seasons in
Sugarcreek series. You do not need to read the first
three books to enjoy
this one. I think once you read this one, you, like me, will
want to read them
all. I found myself totally wrapped up in all the
characters lives and
couldn't wait to see how it all ended for them. CHRISTMAS
IN SUGARCREEK will pull at your
heart strings and will keep you turning the pages.
Judith Graber has always been the obedient daughter. Over
the years, she's taken care of her younger siblings, helped
around the house, and worked in her family's store. But now
Judith feels overworked, overlooked, and underappreciated,
especially as the holiday season approaches.
Everything changes when her father hires Ben Knox.
Ben Knox is the "bad boy" of Sugarcreek. Two years ago he
left town under a cloud of shame. Rumors circulated that his
rumspringa had been filled with more than the usual harmless
explorations.
Sparks fly between Ben and Judith. But the last thing Judith
wants to be is one more girl who falls under Ben's
spell—while Ben wants Judith to realize there's more to him
than his reputation. Could this Christmas season bring love
and a new life for the unlikeliest pair in Sugarcreek?
