About the Book
Annie's life is deliciously full as the Christmas season approaches.
She helps her husband, Samuel, attend to the community's minor medical
needs. She occasionally assists Belinda, the local midwife, and most
days, she finds herself delivering the buggy to her brother Adam.
Annie’s sister-in-law Leah is due to deliver their first child before
Christmas morning, and Annie is determined to finish a crib quilt before
the boppli arrives. With six weeks to go, she should have no problem . .
. but God may have a different plan. Leah is rushed to the English
hospital when the infant arrives early, and Annie discovers the
Christmas quilt may hold a far greater significance than she ever
imagined.

My Review
This is a different Amish book with the fact that the home life is not very happy in Leah's life and it follows her pregnancy. I didn't realize the book would mainly be about Leah giving birth to twins and the many trials she experiences. In any case it was good to read the positive additudes and faith that the characters had throughout the book.
I rate it with 3 stars.
"I received this book from CFBA for free in exchange for an honest review."
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I hold a BA and MA degree in English, and I am proud to be represented by Mary Sue Seymour, AAR. I have published over one hundred articles in Christian family magazines, and have received over two dozen awards from Romance Writers of America chapter groups. I am honored to be a member of Romance Writers of America, American Christian Fiction Writers, and Faith Hope and Love.
I live and teach in the Texas hill country with my husband, cats, and a rather large herd of deer. Our four children have flown the nest; however, we are fortunate that they all live close enough to visit.
I have always felt that my faith was at the very center of who and what I am, and I am thrilled beyond words to be able to now write about something that is so near to my heart. At various times I have served as a pianist, teacher, church secretary, and worship team member. While living in the Dallas area, I served as an adjunct professor of English Literature at Dallas Baptist University. When we moved to a small town in Central Texas, I continued teaching for a few years, but I now write full-time and I play the keyboard in our church’s praise band.
My grandfather was born in Albion, Pennsylvania, and I am currently researching whether I might have Amish roots.
