Take a trip to Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, where you'll meet
the women of the Kauffman Amish Bakery in Lancaster County.
As each woman's story unfolds, you will share in her
heartaches, trials, joys, dreams ... and secrets. You'll
discover how the simplicity of the Amish lifestyle can clash
with the 'English' way of life---and the decisions and
consequences that follow. Most importantly, you will be
encouraged by the hope and faith of these women, and the
importance they place on their families.
Naomi's Gift re-introduces twenty-four-year-old Naomi King,
who has been burned twice by love and has all but given up
on marriage and children. As Christmas approaches---a time
of family, faith, and hope for many others---Naomi is more
certain than ever her life will be spent as an old maid,
helping with the family's quilting business and taking care
of her eight siblings. Then she meets Caleb, a young widower
with a 7-year-old daughter, and her world is once again
turned upside-down.
Naomi's story of romantic trial and error and youthful
insecurities has universal appeal. Author Amy Clipston
artfully paints a panorama of simple lives full of complex
relationships, and she carefully explores cultural
differences and human similarities, with inspirational results.
