Book Overview
This charming and gentle Christmas love story in the "swoon-worthy" (Woman's World) Berlin Bookmobile series follows a librarian determined to help an Amish bachelor woo his neighbor. A solitary sort, forty-two-year-old Atle Petersheim spends his time hard at work in his wood shop. But as the days get longer, he realizes just how lonely he's become. When his longtime crush, Sadie Mast, a widow and mother of three, asks him to help her build a room in their barn for her son, Atle can't say no. Eager to pursue Sadie at last, he turns to bookmobile librarian Sarah Anne Miller for courting advice. More than happy to help, Sarah Anne decides the best way to learn about love is through books--romance novels to be precise. Between completing holiday orders for her flourishing food business, helping Cale navigate a dramatic new relationship with his boss's daughter, and coming to terms with the trauma her late husband had inflicted upon her and her children--not to mention Atle showing up at her door with flowers--Sadie is in over her head. Though Atle's efforts are initially clumsy and his declarations a bit awkward, Sadie can't help but be charmed by her patient and kind neighbor. But is she ready for love? Another delightful romance about the "transformative powers of love, hope, and faith" (Publishers Weekly), A Christmas Courtship is the perfect holiday read.

Engaging Amish Romance
Published by Anne Rightler , 3 years ago
Shelley Shephard Gray is one of my favorite authors so I know when I pick up one of her books, I will be entertained! A Christmas courtship did not disappoint. It is another engaging story. With strong, likable characters, and a plot with a few twists, the story kept my interest from the beginning to the end. And to make the book even better there is not just one romance but two to follow. Teenagers just testing the waters of love and a widow being courted by a confirmed bachelor who has no idea how to court a lady--both sweet, endearing scenarios. I like the author's style and her honest and redemptive approach to realistic struggles that her characters have. Readers who enjoy Amish romance stories, especially one set during the Christmas season will not want to miss this one.
I was given a complimentary copy of the book from Simon and Schuster Publishing through Netgalley and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
