There is something about Amish fiction that gets me every time. I love to read about their family relationships and their struggles in the world we live in.
Susanna has loved Benaiah all her life. She longed for the day she would be his wife. Benaiah wanted to make this happen but he had responsibilities to his family and he wasn't sure how it would work out.
Prayer and patience were needed. Will things work out for them? Susanna was told to trust in The LORD. Only then would she learn HIS plans for her.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I was so upset at Susanna's father but saw that he also had plans for her. Great book. Christmas is in the title but this book is for all seasons.
I received this free to review.
About the Author
Amish fiction lovers responded positively and immediately to Laura V. Hilton’s debut novel, Patchwork Dreams, when she burst on the scene in 2009 with her unique series, The Amish of Seymour, set in the tiny town of Seymour, in Webster County, Missouri. Fans of the genre immediately recognized Hilton’s insider knowledge, not only of the Webster County community, but Amish culture in general. Her natural speech and writing patterns, she says, are uniquely “Amish,” acquired from her Amish maternal grandparents. The Amish of Seymour, includes Patchwork Dreams, A Harvest of Hearts, and Promised to Another. Her second series, The Amish of Webster County, is comprised of Healing Love, Surrendered Love, and Awakened Love. A stand-alone title, A White Christmas in Webster County, was released in September 2014. The Amish of Jamesport includes The Snow Globe,The Postcard and The Birdhouse. In spring 2016 she released The Amish Firefighter with the setting in Jamesport, MO, the same as for The Amish Wanderer.
Laura is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers and a professional book reviewer. Laura and her husband, Steve, have five children, whom Laura homeschools. The family makes their home in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas.
