Beth Wiseman: When a personal crisis tested and strengthened her faith, award-winning journalist Beth Wiseman was advised by her agent to consider writing a Christian novel, particularly an Amish one. Encouraged by her agent’s urging, she began exploring the Amish lifestyle and soon developed a great appreciation for the more peaceful way of life. In 2008 Wiseman wrote her debut novel, Plain Perfect, featuring the Amish lifestyle within the context of a fictional love story. It was a bestseller, as have been all of the full-length novels and novellas she has written since.

They also have raised cattle, pigs, and chickens at various times over the years. The Fuller family would have gone into the goat business, but Kathllen had to draw the line somewhere.

Barbara Cameron: Barbara Cameron is the author of fifteen novels and three nationally televised movies (HBO), as well as a recipient of the first Romance Writers of America Golden Heart.
My Thoughts On The Book: This is the perfect book to snuggle up on the couch with on a nasty day. Once you begin the first novella it is impossible to put the book down until you have read the last word of the last novella. These are some of my favorite Amish authors and these stories are filled with Christmas tales, love, faith, romance, and the Amish way of life. If you are a fan of Amish stories then this book is a must for your library.
