My Take on the Book
What I found interesting about these stories was that they were loosely connected, but they they could easily be read by themselves. Each of the stories give you a glimpse into the Amish culture and values as well as they provide the reader stories that are timeless Christmas classics. Many remind me of stories you would find in Hallmark Movies. I am not saying this in a negative fashion, but they read much like the way that Hallmark Movies do, and in the end there is redemption in most cases.

Each of the stores show strong female characters that are on very different journeys. Each has struggles, but each also finds resolution in the end. 

All three of the books are inspirational Christmas stories and quick reads. You will truly find these books to be ones that you will want to share with others in the future!
