Gingerbread Wishes

As Thanksgiving approaches, Becca Troyer finds herself overwhelmed with an abundance of winter squash and pumpkins that she isn’t a bit thankful for. Desperately trying to sell them at a farmer’s market so she won’t have mountains to can, she’s surprised when a mime drops to his knee in front of her and proposes marriage.

Yost Miller is helping the volunteer firefighter raise funds at the city park when he notices his long-time crush Becca selling vegetables. Drawn across the grass, he spontaneously proposes marriage. But afterward, Yost isn’t sure how to proceed to show her that his feelings are real.

Just as he begins to find solid footing, confidence is yanked away, leaving him floundering. Will he lose Becca to another man? Or will this Thanksgiving be a season of blessings and wishes come true?

Thanksgiving Strangers

Faithe Beiler believes God wants her to feed the poor at her family’s restaurant, but when she mistakes Crist Petersheim for a homeless man and gives him a free breakfast, he’s offended. Yet he can’t help being intrigued by this pretty waitress with a giving heart.

Crist blames God for the tragedies in his life, so the last thing he wants is to get involved with an Amish girl, who trusts God in all circumstances. He fears for Faithe’s safety, though, when she invites every homeless person in the neighborhood, including drug dealers and criminals, to a free Thanksgiving dinner. Street savvy, Crist risks his life to protect her from danger.

As Crist’s heart softens toward God, Faithe finds herself falling him. Then she discovers his deception, and her world is shattered. Can she ever trust him again?

The Thanksgiving Frolic

Monroe has the prettiest girl and the fastest horse— but pride goes before a fall.

Monroe’s girlfriend, Rosemary, and her family organize the Thanksgiving Frolic, a service project to help Amish folks who have fallen on hard times. Monroe wants to go along but his dad won’t let him. Furthermore, Monroe’s dad thinks Rosemary’s family should clean up their own messy farm before they try to help others. Will the contrast between Monroe’s and Rosemary’s families end their relationship for good? Rosemary’s grandpa tries to offer words of wisdom, but people don’t take him seriously. The Thanksgiving Frolic heats up to a fever pitch, before a moment of silence changes everything.

My Thoughts:

These three novellas were written by authors who are extremely talented and are quickly earning a place on my "must read" list of books of the Amish Genre. All three stories give you those warm, fuzzy feelings of thankfulness, family  and love, that Thanksgiving is all about. 

Each author writes in his/her own unique style that immediately immerses you in the tale and keeps you there throughout. Although each is a standalone, the carry over is the feeling of family  and forgiveness and love. We are quickly made aware that we must be thankful in all times, the good and the bad. The reader can easily identify with the realistically and well described characters. That, to me, is what makes a book a good one!! I walked alongside these dear people as they experienced life as it really is. Yes, they may be the Plain People, however they encounter the hardships and trials of life just as you and I do. 

The plots move steadily and quickly. There are just the perfect number of twists and turns to keep the reader totally engaged. How situations are dealt with leaves one inspired. How can I live my Christian faith as these people did?? God has blessed us with so many things for which to be thankful, but do we always remember them?? It is so easy to dwell on the bad times! These authors do an excellent job of reminding us to appreciate what we have, not what we wish for. Trusting that God has a plan for our lives is the key. Being thankful for it is our choice!! 

Well done, Laura, Rachel and Thomas!! Absolutely loved this five star book!!
