The Amish Christmas Letters

Beschreibung

With Christmas around the corner, it's time for Amish families to include holiday greetings in their circle letters, each writer adding to a growing collection as it travels on to the next. In this delightful trio of stories, three cousins scattered across the country share their blessings-and reveal news of romantic surprises . . . To win a friendly annual competition, matchmaker Marybeth Martin must bring one more couple together by Christmas. Her only prospect is a man more interested in a nanny than a wife-until his little girl shows him the light. . . . Struggling farmer's daughter Katie Mae Kauffman discovers that she and a local widower and father of four can harvest more crops-and profits-together than separately. But she'll have to put pride aside to make room for unexpected love. . . . Corralling an unruly brood of seven is not babysitter Carolyn Yutzy's first choice for celebrating the season-but the sparks between her and their unsentimental yet irresistible uncle may be a gift neither was counting on . . . Now, one by one, each resourceful young woman will have a holiday to remember-and to write home about . . .
