The Brenneman household is preparing for a festive
Christmas by filling the bed and breakfast with their loved
ones. Traditionally, they never have guests during the
holidays, so it is the perfect time for a joyous family
gathering. However, they receive a letter that has been
delayed reserving a room during the week of Christmas. It
is too late to cancel the man's plans, so they will have an
extra guest to welcome. Not everyone is happy about the
unexpected guest, and things go downhill when another
visitor shows up unannounced. How will the family settle
in while making their guests feel welcome? Will their
Christmas gathering be ruined?
Levi Bender has been anticipating his time at the Amish run
bed and breakfast. He is prepared for it to be busy during
the holidays so no one will take notice of his comings and
goings. Unfortunately, there seems to be only one other
guest and his plans to blend into the background are
foiled. His already ruined plans are made worse when he
realizes that the other guest is very obviously expecting.
Her condition reminds him of all that he has lost and is
trying to run away from. Should he have stayed home for
Christmas? Was coming to the Brenneman inn a mistake?
Melody Gingerich is escaping for the holidays. When her
boss gives her a gift certificate for a bed and breakfast,
she decides to go during Christmas. After all, she is
pregnant, unmarried, and her family treats her like a
stranger. It will be nice to have a change of scenery even
if it is with a different set of Amish folks. She expects
to have a warm welcoming, but it is certain that not
everyone is happy to see her. Even the other guest is not
all too happy about the circumstances. Has she made a
terrible mistake? Was she better off staying at home?
Shelley Shepard Gray creates a charming Christmas tale.
She brings us back in contact with Anna, Katie, and Winnie
as they settle down for a family celebration, but this one
is filled with a couple surprises. The Brennemans know
that God would not send them something that they could not
handle. However, they were not quite prepared for their
unusual Amish guests - one that has a grumpy disposition
and one that is a straight out liar. With secrets and snow
aplenty, it is only a matter of time before God can work a
miracle within the bed and breakfast and He gives them a
Christmas that they are likely never to forget. GRACE
regales us with a heartwarming story that mirrors the very
first Christmas and reminds us of the true meaning for the
season.
It’s Christmastime at the Brenneman Bed and Breakfast, and
everyone is
excited about closing down for the holidays. But when two
unexpected
visitors appear seeking shelter, the family’s commitment to
hospitality
is tested. First Levi arrives, sullen and angry . . . but
insisting on staying for five days. Next Melody shows up.
She’s almost nine months pregnant, but won’t say a word
about why she traveled all the way from Kentucky by herself.
As the two strangers settle in, the Brennemans try to make
the best of an uncomfortable situation, except for Katie,
who and knows a thing or two about keeping secrets. She is
determined to learn the truth about these two strangers . .
. all while keeping her own secret safely hidden away.
All is revealed when a snowstorm traps them at the inn.
