An Amish Gift: A Novel

From the author of An Amish Christmas and A Plain & Fancy Christmas comes a heartwarming novel of marriage and family, new beginnings and poignant homecomingsâ€”just in time for the holidays.
Â
After her husband, Shep, loses his latest job, Jennie Davis is grateful to be in a car en route to beautiful Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Shep has inherited a house from a distant cousin, along with the cousinâ€™s long-established bicycle shop. The move gives Jennie, Shep, and their two children a welcome chance for a fresh start.
Â
While Shep dives into his new venture at the bike shop, Jennie carefully restores their broken-down house. She loves being a stay-at-home mom but yearns to find some fulfillment outside of her familyâ€”particularly as they struggle financially. On morning walks, she forges a friendship with her Amish neighbor, Mattie Fisher, who opens up about her modest way of life. Mattieâ€™s unswerving good character in the face of adversity encourages Jennie to seek practical solutions to her own difficulties. A passing remark by Jennieâ€™s son transforms desperation about their finances into inspiration, leading her to embark upon a candy-making enterprise.
Â
Soon, Jennieâ€™s newfound purpose collides with Shepâ€™s growing stress at work and long-simmering tensions between husband and wife rise to the surface. As the holiday season approaches, their family is challenged as never beforeâ€”until an unexpected visitor arrives to give Jennie the greatest gift of all.
