My Review:
A Simple Amish Christmas, is a soul stirring kind of book. I know for some June is just too early to even think about the holidays but I enjoy leaning towards that special time of year no matter if its June or December. Christmas is such a special time for the English family as well as for the Amish, their simple ways make me long to be one of them, sometimes. But many of us that are that way, can take our current surroundings and live just as simply even if we don't believe exactly as they do.
Being away from home, really gets you to miss it more and more---and this is where Annie Weaver finds herself. Just three swift years after leaving her parents home in the Amish community of Mifflin county to begin a life as an English girl indulging in her rumschpringe, a time to search herself and to see what she will discover. She misses the simplicity of home and all it has to offer, she also misses her family. soon the longing of home gives way to the need of getting their immediately when she receives a call that her father has been in an accident.
Upon returning home, Annie and Samuel are introduced and right away Samuel is taken with her. Realizing that her father's situation was a grave one, Annie immediately engrosses herself in his care, but all the while thinking about Samuel. It wasn't long until her bed ridden father was already trying to get her to start looking around at the men in town as possible suitors. But with her and Samuel's and their first meeting upon her arrival, she just knew he would not even be a possibility. Will these two be able to work out their differences and come together or will they fight the whole way up the aisle to matrimony?
