Book Overview
ECPA BESTSELLER - For fans of holiday romances and Amish life comes a new Christmas tale of surprising expectations and discovering miracles. Old Order Amish Ivy Zook is wrestling with her need to shed her community's ways so she can grow the business of her dreams: planning parties. As long as she's stuck living without modernization, she can barely get her business on its feet. But if she leaves too soon, she'd cause trouble for her sister, Holly, who is planning her wedding to Joshua Smucker. All of their plans become twice as complicated when an old car crashes into the storefront of Greene's Pharmacy, carrying a Swartzentruber (ultra-conservative sect) Amish man, Arlan, and his very ill sister. The Zooks take in Arlan and Madga, tending to the woman's illness and Arlan begins helping around the family farm. Ivy and Arlan are on different tracks, one wanting to leave her community and the other to return to his. But both young people are trying to discover what God has in store for their futures and what miracles might lie around the corner this Christmas season.

Great story!
Published by Gail , 4 years ago
It took me a few chapters to get into this book but I stuck with it and am so glad I did. It’s the first time of hears of the Swartzentruber Amish sect. The kindness of the Zook family to this young woman in desperate need was beautiful. If you are young then it will seem awful that parents would make such harsh and unfeeling decisions for a bad decision their daughter makes. But if you grew up in the 40’s, 50’s or even 1960’s this was real. I love how this young woman was provided for through others that love Christ and put others needs above their own. This is a beautiful story of Gods faithfulness and provision. I didn’t know there was a first in this series. I would gave liked to have read that also. However, this is a stand alone book and the story is great by itself.
