    About this ebook

    Enjoy a simple Christmas, sweetened by love, in historical communities of plain faith people. Four romances develop among the Ohio River Valley Quakers of the mid-1800s. Two Mennonite couples face influences from outside their old traditions. Two Amish couples from the early 1900s are affected by world events. And in an Amana community, childhood sweethearts are reunited. Each story also includes a recipe for a sweet traditional treat.

      This book has something for anyone who likes a good clean Christmas story, with a bit of romance thrown in.You are in for a real treat, only have a little bit of time for reading, there are nine novellas here, and you will be finishing one and ready to start another in no time.These are plain people, Amish, and Mennonite, a few Quakers and then we also have an Amana Colony, made me wish there were more.Be ready for snow, of course Christmas time, and there are some real blizzards our folks have to contend with. Come and enjoy a refreshing adventure.I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour and was not required to give a positive review.

      Awful. The story by Jerry Eicher the Amish couple who wouldn’t marry due to the war was horrible. So stupid.
