An Amish Christmas Star by Shelley Shepard Gray, Charlotte Hubbard, and Rosalind Lauer

 

💖💖💖💖💖

An Amish Christmas Star by Shelley Shepard Gray, Charlotte Hubbard, and Rosalind Lauer, a collection of three novellas focusing on faith, family, home, and love around Christmas. Each story is unique, the characters strong Amish facing challenges and the stresses of living in an English world.. Each story was different from the others and it is hard to see the stories end. These would all be great characters for their own novel. The first story is about two Amish people needing to get to certain destinations and their various rides give them definite problems along the way. As they travel together, despite many setbacks, they find their way home and to each other. The second story was about a young couple whose relationship is hindered by a Bishop whose own personal feelings cause problems for his congregation, including the couple. It takes a dream and a miracle to alter his outlook on life. The final story is about a newlywed couple whose life is disrupted by his job in another part of the state, keeping them apart until the magic of the holidays, friends and family find a way to provide a job for the husband in the community.

These are heart-warming stories full of hope, perseverance, love and faith, as well as reminders of what the holiday is truly all about, will put a smile on your face and joy in your heart. I highly recommend reading An Amish Christmas Star to other readers, and they can be read any time of the year, not just around Christmas.
