A Gift of Grace by Amy Clipston

Goodreads Summary:
Rebecca Kauffmans tranquil Old Order Amish life is transformed when she suddenly has custody of her two teenage nieces after her "English" sister and brother-in-law are killed in an automobile accident. Instant motherhood, after years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive a child of her own, is both a joy and a heartache. Rebecca struggles to give the teenage girls the guidance they need as well as fulfill her duties to Daniel as an Amish wife.

Rebellious Jessica is resistant to Amish ways and constantly in trouble with the community. Younger sister Lindsay is caught in the middle, and the strain between Rebecca and Daniel mounts as Jessicas rebellion escalates. Instead of the beautiful family life she dreamed of creating for her nieces, Rebecca feels as if her world is being torn apart by two different cultures, leaving her to question her place in the Amish community, her marriage, and her faith in God.

Wow, I recommend this book to anyone who wants to try and Amish background book or already knows they love the Amish background books. This book was so good that I could not put it down. Wow! I definitely give this book a 5, but if I were to do it on a 10 point scale, it would definitely be a 10. I could NOT put this book down and read it in two days and then I bought the rest of the series. I can't wait to get the 4th book in January, and I'm already reading book 2 of this series. Wow, I don't want to put the second book down either.

This story was cute and I liked it. I really enjoyed the 8yr old twins and their cow Sukie. What mischief these two girls would get in. But I loved the story and fell in love with Molly and the twins.
Home Again
I really enjoyed this story even more. Luke learned a lesson and learned how to defend himself. I loved the ending too. Cassie learns to love Gabe and let him support her. I really loved both these stories.

An Amish Christmas by Cynthia Keller

Meg Hobart has everything: a happy marriage to a handsome, successful husband, a beautiful home in Charlotte, North Carolina, and three wonderful children. But it all comes crashing down around her the day she learns that her husband, James, has been living a lie—and has brought the family to financial ruin. Penniless and homeless, the Hobarts pack up what little they still possess and leave behind their golden life for good. But it’s not the material things Meg finds herself mourning. Instead, she misses the certainty that she should remain married to James, who has betrayed her trust so thoughtlessly. Worse, she is suddenly very aware of just how spoiled her children have become. Meg wonders what her family has really sacrificed in their pursuit of the American dream.

A frightening twist of fate forces the Hobarts to take refuge with a kind Amish family in Pennsylvania, where they find themselves in a home with no computers, no cell phones, nothing the children consider fashionable or fun. Her uncooperative brood confined to the Amish world of hard work and tradition, their futures entirely uncertain, Meg fears she can never make her family whole again.

Celebrating life’s simplest but most essential values, packed with laughter and tears, this is a story of forgiveness and the power of love. You will never forget the special moment in time that is An Amish Christmas.

My review:
This novel is definitely worth the read. I really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. I wanted to read it to the end. I give this Novel 5 stars. I recommend this book to others who love Amish Novels.

I enjoyed this book enough to give it 3.5 stars I had a hard time reading it, but I did enjoy it more than I thought I would. I took a break from reading it, and when I came back to it I really enjoyed it. This was a good book. Slow getting into, yet very exciting to read.
