What a sweet and beautiful read! I thoroughly enjoyed this story so much!.
I loved watching Phoebe come into her own person.. What a sweetheart..I was honored in getting to know her. My heart went out to this special lady.
I couldn't put this book down until Phoebe told me her story..
I also loved in getting to know Seth's family too. Lots of hurt pasts going on here but it takes a special God to help us make it through our journey as did they
It is a Christmas story and one I definitely felt like a part of. A season of love, good cheer and celebration of Gotte's love (Jesus' birthday of course).
This novel offers hope, love and a special dallop of romance and 2nd chances. Well done!
I didn't want this story to end. I don't like saying goodbye.
This will be going on my shelf of favorites.
5 stars from me for keeping me invested in this story
Such a delightful read! I highly recommend
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

The young Amish woman, Phoebe, knows everyone thinks she is a bit odd. After all, she can't read or write and is a bit clumsy. We do learn the most likely reason for her issues.


Widower Seth Beiler is in over his head. He has his five orphaned brothers to take care of, along with his business and their farm. He had someone helping him until she broke her wrist; now, he needs another housekeeper.

Phoebe is asked to come help out at Seth's farm, and despite her misgivings, she takes on the job.

This story is set just after Thanksgiving and during the rest of the Christmas holidays. While Phoebe is taking care of the brothers, she gains a lot of confidence and brings a lot of joy to this family. During these few weeks, Phoebe and Seth learn to care about each other, yet they don't show it until it is almost too late.

This excellent novel is filled with humor, joy, and a big helping of learning about Amish life. I'm looking forward to reading the next novel in this trilogy (?), and I'm assuming that it will be about the next oldest brother, Levi.
