THE AMISH CHRISTMAS SLEIGH is a collection of three novellas by
some of today's favorite Amish authors.
A SLEIGH RIDE ON ICE MOUNTAIN by Kelly Long is the story of Sebastian and
Kate. Kate's parents were killed in a buggy accident and she is taking care
of her younger brother, Ben. He has special needs. When she meets
Sebastian, he offers her a job as his housekeeper and wants Ben to be his
apprentice in his toy making business. Sebastian has a big secret though,
and when Kate finds out, her whole world is turned upside down.
A MAMM FOR CHRISTMAS by Amy Lillard is super funny. The girls had me
laughing out loud. Their mother died a year ago and the girls want a
Mamm for Christmas. How they go about it is so cute and funny. Their
Dad picks one woman and the girls aren't having any part of that! The girls
come up with a plan to get their school teacher, Bernice, back out to their
house so their dad can fall in love with her. He is hurting and is very lonely.
Jess feels he is ready to fall in love again and share his life with a new wife
and Mamm for his girls. Do you think it will work out with either woman?
AN UNEXPECTED CHRISTMAS BLESSING by Molly Jebber is the story of a man
running from his past who meets a family that is hurting from the loss of
their husband and dad. The children are looking for a father figure in their
lives and Luke fits that perfectly. The only problem is that their mom and
Luke fight more than being neighborly to each other. Can they get past
their differences to become a family? Charity would love that but Luke has
never said or done anything that indicates he wanted to be more than friends
with her.
Love, family, forgiveness, hope, and faith are what these three stories are
all about. A sleigh is involved in each of the stories. THE AMISH
CHRISTMAS SLEIGH sure does put you in the Christmas spirit. Love
comes when you least expect it and shows up when you aren't even
looking for it. Each of these couples learn that firsthand. Grab a cup of
coffee, your favorite blanket and get on the couch with this book. After I
finished, I wanted to get out my Christmas decorations and start decorating
the house. I found all the characters in each of these stories were well
developed with heart-wrenching storylines.
Through the snowy night, silver bells ring cheerfully, heralding a season of secret gifts, unexpected chances, and love's sweetest journeys . . . A SLEIGH RIDE ON ICE MOUNTAIN by Kelly Long For solitary toy-maker Sebastian Christner, hiring Kate Zook as his new housekeeper is simply the right thing to do. Now she can support her special- needs brother. But one taste of her independent spirit is showing him undreamed-of holiday joy—and making him long to give her a home for always . . . A MAMM FOR CHRISTMAS by Amy Lillard Bernice Yoder has far too much to do to entertain holiday dreams. Even if she can help Jess Schmucker outwit his three mischievous young daughters, it's impossible to imagine the handsome widower can see her as anything but a scolding schoolteacher. He never guesses how a magical Christmas Eve will open his eyes to love or how Der Herr will awaken their faith and hope. AN UNEXPECTED CHRISTMAS BLESSING by Molly Jebber As much as Charity Lantz's children need a father, the young widow isn’t sure her new neighbor Luke Fisher can ever be the right choice. They’re having more disagreements than snowflakes in December. Besides, he's never given a sign he wants to be more than friends. Can Gott show them a way past their misunderstandings to a forever love?
