Kensington Books publishes a wide variety of books that appeal to a wide audience. The Amish books they publish are some of the best Amish books on the market. That's why I asked to read An Amish Second Christmas. It is a collection of three novellas that detail the lives of three Amish couples with rocky starts to a relationship.
My favorite one in this collection is the second one--"His Amish Angel." Maggie is one opinionated, outspoken Amish Lass who writes a column in the local newspaper called "Ask Miss Amish," where she tries to use Amish wisdom and beliefs to solve English-world problems. Somehow her bishop finds out and forbids her to continue writing.
Her ex-fiance, Atley, is the one who spilled the beans to the bishop, because the bishop is his uncle. She feels this act is the final betrayal in their relationship, but unbeknownst to her, he goes to his uncle and has him read what she's written and shows him how she's telling the world about the Amish life and how that can solve problems for misguided teens and young adults. One of the things Maggie and Atley need to learn is the art of give and take to make a happy home for both of them.
This is a five star collection, with two thumbs up, and an angel Christmas Ornament for your tree. I appreciate Kensington books for providing the galley I read through NetGalley.com. It's a great read for these chillier nights with a soft blanket and a hot drink.
