The Amish Christmas Secret

GIVEAWAY


CHAPMAN, VANNETTA
THE AMISH CHRISTMAS SECRET

A struggling Amish woman. Her mysterious new neighbor. And a secret that could change everything...

Becca Schwartz's curiosity is going to be a problem. When Amish secret millionaire Daniel Glick moves to Shipshewana for seclusion, he doesn't expect his pretty new neighbor to ask so many questions. Or to be so generous, despite her family's poverty. As Daniel falls for Becca, his secret looms between them. This Christmas, can he finally give her the truth...and his heart?

My Review:

This is one of my favourite Christmas reads this year. It's funny and thoughtful and full of faith and showcases the true meaning of Christmas in such an inspiring way.

I absolutely adore Becca though Daniel doesn't take a shine to her right away. " Becca Schwartz was free-spirited, energetic, and irritating." (p 32) Honestly, I laughed so much over those very Becca qualities and the situations they put her in. And poor long suffering Daniel who just wants to be left in peace. Ha! That's not happening ever since he moved next door to the spirited Schwartz clan and it's joke-spewing patriach! 

It isn't every day I get to read an Amish millionaire story...well, I don't think I ever have before The Amish Christmas Secret and I'm impressed by the ingenuity of pairing extreme wealth with plain living. As you can imagine, there are all kinds of pitfalls which Chapman delves into with insight and compassion. On so many levels -- both from Becca's 'impoverished' perspective yearning to make life easier for her family and Daniel's harsh experience with how sudden wealth can have a negative impact. Lots of food for thought.

A charming holiday romance full of laughter and faith and the joy that comes from keeping Gotte at the heart of it all.

    One of my favorite authors! Can't wait for the opportunity to read Becca and Daniel's story. Just the cover alone makes me want to read "THE AMISH CHRISTMAS SECRET". It just screams Christmas with the country setting, the snow and the basket full of apples ready for some baking for goodies to share.

    Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to win a copy!

    Yay! A favorite of Kavs. That's always an incentive to read. I've read two books of the books in this series and loved them.
