Amish Christmas at North Star: Four Stories of Love & Family by Cindy Woodsmall, Mindy Starns Clark (with Emily Clark), Amanda Flower and Katie Ganshert

★★★★★

One night four lives entered the world by the hands of an Amish midwife, just outside North Star, Pennsylvania. 

 
Rebekah’s Babies, as they are called, are now grown adults and in four heartwarming novellas each young person experiences a journey of discovery, a possibility of love, and the wonder of Christmas.

“Guiding Star” by Katie Ganshert: Curiosity gets the best of Englischer Chase Wellington when he investigates the twenty-five-year-old disappearance of an Amish baby. When he finds adventurous Elle McAllister in Iowa will his discoveries upend her world? 

“Mourning Star” by Amanda Flower: Eden Hochstetler slips from her parents’ fudge shop to investigate the death of her friend Isaac.  Who is guilty? Isaac’s handsome great nephew Jesse, an angry Englischer, or someone else?

“In the Stars” by Cindy Woodsmall: Heartbroken Kore Detweiler avoids North Star after Savilla Beiler rejects his love.  But when he is unexpectedly called to return home, he and Savilla must join forces to keep a family together.

“Star of Grace” by Mindy Starns Clark and Emily Clark: Andy Danner left North Star to join a new Amish settlement in Mississippi. His little brother devises a scheme to bring Andy home for Christmas and unwittingly unleashes the power of forgiveness in a reclusive widower’s life.

Amish Christmas at North Star offers a wonderful collection of holiday novellas from authors Cindy Woodsmall, Mindy Starns Clark (with Emily Clark), Amanda Flower, and Katie Ganshert. With mystery, romance, and cozy Christmas feelings, these four heartwarming novellas tell different and unique stories, each involving great characters, but all tie together quite nicely. Any reader of Amish fiction will want to be sure to pick up Amish Christmas at North Star in the approaching Christmas season. It’s an enjoyable read and I would recommend it.
