Book Description:
A proposal out of obligation
Could become a promise of love…
Pregnant Amish widow Mattie Byler is stunned to find her late husband’s shunned twin brother at her door. Samuel Byler is back to fulfill a promise: to marry Mattie. Only he’s not the rogue Mattie remembers. This Christmas, he’s determined to do right by her and the community. Saying “yes” feels impossible. But if Samuel's vow won’t heal her grieving heart…maybe his love can.
My Thoughts: Tugs at Your Heartstrings
Wow! Mattie and Samuel's story is absolutely wonderful! In it you have two people that are brought together by a loss, and each one is dealing with it in their own way. Mattie deals with it by insisting on proving how strong she is and that she doesn't need to depend on Samuel. Samuel deals with it by trying to do all he can to help Mattie while making up for what he's been through and to keep the promise he made. As they deal with it in their own way, they don't seem to see how much of a bond it creates between them. However, with the help of some very special sisters and a cute little goat, that bond just might grow into something special.
The Amish Christmas Promise is truly a beautiful story. Throughout the story you will find love, faith, redemption, forgiveness and healing, and that combination will surely tug at your heartstrings.
I received and advanced copy of the book. However, all comments and opinions are voluntary and completely my own.
