Barbara Cameron brings us two heart-warming Christmas
novellas in TWICE BLESSED. In HER SISTER'S SHADOW, Katie
and Rosie Stoltzfus are twenty-three-year-old identical
twin sisters. Both are still single and work part-time in
town at a local store. However, their personalities are far
from being the same. Katie is very outgoing and has no lack
of young men asking to see her. Rosie is extremely shy and
not nearly as talkative as Katie. That's why Katie is so
surprised when newcomer Jacob Miller notices Rosie first
and wants to get better acquainted with her. Katie has a
special man friend in her life, but she's not sure he's the
one for her. Daniel just doesn't meet all the
specifications Katie has given God for a husband. Rosie
believes that God always has a better plan than she could
come up with. How do you know when you've found the man God
has in mind for you?
Barbara Cameron briefly introduces the Fisher twins in HER
SISTER'S SHADOW. In HIS BROTHER'S KEEPER, Mark and Ben are
also identical twins and both bachelors, although Mark is
engaged to marry Ruth. But the two are as different in
personality as night and day. On the way home after making
some furniture deliveries in their buggy, Mark and Ben are
run off the road by a truck. Ben only sustains a broken
arm, but Mark is in a coma and has had to have his spleen
removed. Neither brother has identification on them, so
Ruth identifies them at the hospital. However, she does so
incorrectly. She thinks that Ben is Mark because he is
wearing a pair of gloves she knitted for Mark. Ben goes
with the mistaken identity because he secretly is still in
love with Ruth. They were dating before the more
charismatic Mark wooed her his way. Ruth isn't sure in her
own mind which brother she really loves. What will happen
when Mark wakes up?
TWICE BLESSED will truly bless your heart with a double
portion of love, laughter and adventure. Ms. Cameron
incorporates some characters from other Amish stories she
has written in this same setting. She paints these Amish
young people as progressing into the twenty first century
in many ways, yet staying true to their Amish culture and
beliefs. Ms. Cameron also explores the special relationship
between twins and how connected they are, even when they
don't seem to be much alike. There are many delicious
sounding confections and relishes mentioned throughout the
story, and Ms. Cameron includes recipes for several of them
at the end. Pick this one up for a quick, fun Christmas
read you are sure to enjoy.
About Her Sister’s Shadow Katie and Rosie Stoltzfus work part-time in an
Amish store and part-time in Two Peas in a Pod, their own business raising
vegetables and fruits and canning them for sale. Although they are identical
twins, their personalities are very different: while Katie has always been more
outgoing and attractive to boys, Rosie has always felt in her sister’s
shadow. It will take an unexpected business opportunity and one very special
man to help Rosie see that she’s a unique woman of her own. About His
Brother’s Keeper Ever since they were boys, Ben Fisher has trailed after his
brother, Mark. Ben has always envied Mark because he’s always been more
adventurous, but he\'s even more jealous now that Mark is engaged to Rachel,
a woman they both love. When a terrible accident on Christmas Eve results in
their mistaken identity, Ben suddenly has an opportunity to create the life heâ
€™s always wanted. While everyone believes he is his brother, who’s still in
a coma, Ben finally has a chance with Rachel. But how can he realize an
opportunity for real happiness if it means deceiving his kin?
