A Kauffman Amish Christmas Collection

GIVEAWAY

CLIPSTON, AMY
A KAUFFMAN AMISH CHRISTMAS COLLECTION

In A Plain and Simple Christmas, from the author of the widely popular Kauffman Amish Bakery Series, shunned Anna Mae doesn’t receive the welcome she expects when she pays a visit for Christmas and her world begins to fall apart, leaving her to question her place in her family---and her faith in God.

Set in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Naomi’s Gift reintroduces twenty-four-year-old Naomi King, who has given up her dreams of finding true love. But when a young widower stirs surprising feelings in her, Naomi cautiously opens her heart to him and receives an unexpected response that once again turns her world upside-down.

My Review:

Naomi's Gift was released as a novella last year. You can read my review here: http://www.bestreads-kav.blogspot.ca/search/label/Clipston%20Amy 

A Plain and Simple Christmas is a moving coming home story. The perfect plot for a Christmas setting in my humble opinion. Clipston captures the emotions of her characters so well that they can't help but rub off on the reader so this is an angsty, infuriating but ultimately joyful read.
