THEIR SECOND CHANCE
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Shelley Shepard Gray
Amish nanny Hannah Eicher never thought she’d see Rob Prince again. There was no way a relationship between her and the handsome English fireman could overcome her family’s objections—and their personal differences. But when he saves her from a sudden blaze, Hannah longs to see if they can turn holiday hope into a lifetime of happiness . . .
HIS AMISH ANGEL * Patricia Johns
She’s too outspoken to be a proper Amish wife. So as advice columnist “Miss Amish,” Maggie Lapp helps Amish and Englishwith their romantic problems. But when her tradition-minded former fiancé accidentally reveals her secret, Maggie will need more than a miracle to make things right—and find a perfect love for all the Christmases to come . . .
AN HEIRLOOM CHRISTMAS * Virginia Wise
Rachel Miller won't let her disability keep her from selling heirloom plants and proving she can be independent. She certainly doesn't need reckless Joseph Webber working at her greenhouse to pay off a disastrous Rumspringa stunt. But she and Joseph have more in common than they think—and their surprising holiday partnership might just blossom into forever joy . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In these touching novellas from a trio of bestselling authors, struggling couples rekindle their love as Christmas approaches. In "Their Second Chance," Shepard Gray tells the story of Hannah Eicher, an Amish girl who breaks off her relationship with Englisher fireman Rob Prince because of her parents' objections. But months later, just before Christmas, Rob saves Hannah's life when her apartment catches fire. Realizing they are still in love, the pair must decide if they can bridge their different worlds. In Johns's "His Amish Angel," outspoken Magdalena Lapp has been labeled unmarriageable by her conservative community. After the bishop discovers she is writing an advice column for Englishers, she is ordered to stop. But when she learns that Atley Troyer her first love and the boy who jilted her divulged her secret, he breaks her heart again. Ashamed of his actions, Atley realizes he must make amends. In Wise's "An Heirloom Christmas," two former schoolmates, the cautious Rachel Miller and reckless Joseph Webber, are forced to work together when Joseph is hired as a caregiver for Rachel's mother, who has been diagnosed with cancer. The two begin to see past their childhood missteps as they spend the holiday season in close proximity. Fans of the authors will relish these sweet tales of reconciliation.
Customer Reviews
Three sweet Amish novellas
An Amish Second Christmas by Shelley Shepard Gray, Patricia Johns and Virginia Wise contains three stories where couples are getting a second chance at love and life. Second Christmas is the day after Christmas where the Amish exchange gifts plus spend time with family and friends. I thought the stories were well-written with delightful and developed characters. They are uplifting stories with humor and sweet romance. I liked the feisty Maggie Lapp in His Amish Angel. She was not afraid to speak her mind and her column was a good outlet for her where she offered practical advice. We see how important compromise is to a relationship. I thought His Amish Angel was a unique story for Amish fiction. Their Second Chance is a thoughtful story where a couple is really getting a second chance. I liked that Hannah was breaking free from her family, but she was not disrespectful to them. I appreciated that there was an epilogue in Their Second Chance. In An Heirloom Christmas, Rachel grows heirloom plants. I could feel her passion for the project, and I like how she knew the history of the items she grew. The story also shows us that what we are looking for can be right there in front of us. Three heartwarming and charming stories that will leave you smiling (especially the end of An Heirloom Christmas). I look forward to reading more stories from these three authors.
