Amish Celebrations: Four Novellas by Beth Wiseman
3.0
Amish Celebrations is a collection of four novellas by bestselling author Beth Wiseman. Each of the novellas are geared around a celebration of some sort and explore life within the Amish community. The four novellas are: The Gift of Sisters, A New Beginning, A Perfect Plan, and A Christmas Miracle.
The Gift of Sisters explores a story of twin girls Hannah and
Rachel who are approaching their 16th birthday—a time when they will be allowed to break free a little and enjoy their rumschpringe.
A New Beginning brings us Rebecca and Noah, a couple in love and about to be baptized. A few weeks before the ceremony, Noah decides to spend one last night enjoying his rumschpringe—which leads to him doing something which causes Rebecca to reconsider his proposal.
A Perfect Plan follows the story of Priscilla and Chester. Priscilla has been in love with Chester since she was sixteen years old. When Chester pops the question on her 19th birthday, the wedding plans can begin!
A Christmas Miracle brings a story of one little Amish girl’s Christmas wish. Mary’s daughter broke the rules to ask Santa to bring her mama help for Christmas. Mary is an exhausted mother of five at the ripe old age of just twenty-seven. Married since eighteen, she wasn’t quite prepared for motherhood—and her exhaustion and frustration are sending her in a downward spiral.
I thought that all of these novellas were very well written. It was easy to understand the characters and their situations. The characters in these novellas had real life “baggage” which affected their day-to-day lives and decisions they had to make.
Thank you so much to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson & Zondervan Publishing for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
