Publisher's summary

Naomi's Gift by Amy Clipston:

Naomi has started to think that she isn't meant to find love, but she might receive more than she ever hoped for this Christmas. Twenty-four-year-old Naomi King, who has been burned twice by love, has all but given up on marriage and children. As Christmas approaches - a time of family, faith, and hope for many others - Naomi is more certain than ever her life will be spent as an old maid, helping with the family's quilting business and taking care of her eight siblings. Then she meets Caleb, a young widower with a seven-year-old daughter, and her world is once again turned upside down.

An Unexpected Joy by Ruth Reid:

Abigail has driven other suitors away, but can Micah find a way to show her he cares? Abigail Kemp has managed to frighten off everybody who's ever driven her home from a singing. Sure she will live to be an old maid, Abigail starts saving her money to buy a horse so she can at least have some independence.

Micah Zook is looking for a caregiver for his grandmother, and Abigail needs a new job. He never expected that Abigail would talk so much...or that his grandmother would keep finding ways to set the two of them up. Despite Abigail's constant chatter, she and Micah become friends - until Micah makes a decision that leaves Abigail feeling betrayed. With Christmas in their midst, can Micah find a way to reconcile with Abigail and to reveal what's on his heart?

A Christmas Visitor by Kelly Irvin:

Frannie Mast returns to Bee County for Christmas, but her heart stays back in Missouri with an Englisch farmboy. Frannie knows her parents have the best of intentions when they send her back to Bee County, Texas, to live with her aunt Abigail and her husband, Mordecai. After all, she knows nothing can come of a relationship with Rocky, the handsome but Englisch farmer boy back in Missouri. It's best to put those feelings aside, no matter how hard it is. But all bets are off when Rocky follows Frannie to Texas to plead his case. Could he be the Christmas gift to end all gifts?

Delightful!

I was pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed listening to each story in this book. I am an avid reader, but never really considered the Amish community to be of interest to me, till I read and listened to the "Plan Fame" series by Sarah Price. Truthfully, I am enthralled by their simplicity, local customs and belief system. Thank you Audible for providing this type of material for your customers.

Almost great.

Stories were pretty good, but should explain Amish phrases and terms. In the last story the narrator mispronounced words!!

Loved all 3 heartwarming stories!

I loved each and everyone of these stories I got so caught up in the characters and in their lives. I just couldn’t wait to hear what would happen.!

Couldn't take it

I tried really hard to get through the first story, but the narrator was so bad and the story so boring with mundane details that I couldn’t take it anymore! I’m returning it!

Enjoyable wholesome stories

Really enjoyed these stories specially the 2nd one. Tired of all the negativity on TV, conversations with others and everywhere I decided to give books like this a chance and so glad I did! A nice way to escape all the craziness in this world and dream for a little bit :) Good for the mind and soul.

Enjoyable

There is nothing but good feelings about each story. An enjoyable Christmas treat considering the times we are in.

Extraordinary

The narrator rocked this book! Love all three stories and would listen to them again.
