The Amish Christmas Promise
ππππ/5
The Amish Christmas Promise by Amy Lillard, is a heartwarming story about loss, healing, keeping a promise, inspiration, shunning, and forgiveness. Mattie Byler is pregnant and widowed, with two little girls and a farm to take care of. One day her late husbandβs twin brother, Samuel, appears at her door; claiming that he had made a promise to his brother that he would look after his wife if anything happened to him. In Samuelβs mind, that meant he needs to marry her. Unfortunately, he has been shunned and has been living among the English. At first Mattie doesnβt want anything to do with him, but she reluctantly allows him to do work around her farm. Slowly they form a friendship, with Mattie realizing sheβs falling in love with him and Samuel has fallen in love with her. Before anything more can happen, Samuel needs to confess his sins to the community and return to the church; something heβs been struggling with. I highly recommend The Amish Christmas Promise to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
