THE MIDWIFE CHRISTMAS SURPRISE - Marta Perry

Benjamin Miller declared his love for Anna Zook three years ago, then disappeared from her life when he left home the very next morning.  Now, he's come home to ask for his family's forgiveness, but what of Anna's?

Ben has made mistakes since he left home.  He was determined to see more of the world beyond his Amish life.  Now, his mother happily forgives him but his father is slower to absolve Ben's mistakes.  As for Anna, he hasn't yet asked her forgiveness; how can he when he has to resolve his recent past?

Anna is afraid to trust Benjamin, afraid to ask him why he left.  Perhaps he has no feelings for her after all, or maybe he left to be rid of her and the promises he made. Whatever the reason, Anna is wary of his return.

Christmas is upon the area as the Millers and Anna prepare for the holiday and the babies to be delivered.  Anna and Benjamin slowly find their way around their troubles to their future in this tender romance.

A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER by - Ann Brown

Amos Stoltzfus is closing up his store when a little girl enters and attempts to steal a loaf of bread.  Thinking she is hungry, Amos offers her the bread and a jar of peanut butter as she leads him outside the store to a woman who is hurt and confused.  The little girl tells Amos that her name is Polly and she says the woman is simply Linda.  According to Polly, she and her companion are on their way to meet with Polly's grandparents, but Polly does not know their names.

Linda is injured; her forehead is bleeding from an unknown injury.  She is aware of Amish protocol, but has no knowledge of her name or the relationship between her and the little girl who is called Polly.  Grudgingly, Linda allows Amos to escort her to his home where he lives with his mother.

The quest is on to find out who Linda is and where she and Polly were traveling.  Is Polly her daughter?  Amos has many questions, but he is unlikely to trust any woman after the last one made a fool of him in front of the entire congregation.  A romantic mystery ensues as Linda and Amos grow closer while searching for answers to Linda's predicament.

AMISH CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS is a delightful book containing two wonderful novellas from authors Marta Perry and Jo Ann Brown.  Don't miss this!
