An Amish Christmas Match by WInnie Griggs

 💖💖💖💖💖/5




An Amish Christmas Match by Winnie Griggs, book one in the Sweetbrier Creek series, tugs at your heart, holding you hostage until the very last page; I could not put down, reading it in one day. Phoebe Kropf knows that everyone feels she is a bit odd and accident prone. Her mother is not comfortable letting her work in her kitchen. When a chance to prove she is competent arises, she jumps at the chance. Seth Beiler is in over his head between Christmas orders for his shop, taking care of their farm, and caring for his five younger orphaned brothers; who can be quite the handful.

 

Phoebe is quite intelligent, having learned how to cope because of her inability to read. Unfortunately, she is criticized and made to feel stupid because others did not understand her disability; including her mother. The opportunity to work in the Beiler home will get Phoebe away from her well-meaning family and give her a chance to prove she is an independent adult. It may help her gain some much-needed confidence as well. Edna, Phoebe’s friend and a relative of the Beilers, is a sweet and helpful woman.

 

It was heartwarming watching Phoebe become stronger, confident, and independent as she helps Seth and his brothers live together, while still being themselves. Phoebe and Seth learn together and grew together while finding love in the most unexpected places.

 

I enjoyed this story with its humor, family, friendship, romance, faith, joy, tumbling baked goods, boisterous brothers, orders galore, mouthwatering meals, creating cards, helpful tips, and a happy holiday.

💖💖💖💖 /5   Snowball Unwrapped by Kristen McKanagh, book four in the Snowball series, isn’t so much about Snowball the resident cat, it’s about the budding romance assisted by the imaginative and crafty cat. Snowball, you see, has a gift no other cat has: the gift of matchmaking.
