Snowstorms and babies bring couples together
in these two sweet Amish novellas.
In Vannetta Chapman’s Stranded in the Snow, widowed single mother Faith Yoder and her baby find temporary refuge from a snowstorm with Elijah King’s generous help. And in Caring for the Amish Baby by Carrie Lighte, after her trip south for the winter is delayed, Amish spinster Leah Zehr must work with Jonathan Rocke to care for her sick friend’s baby.
Stranded in the Snow by Chapman brought tears and smiles. I
felt the cold blowing snow and each emotion the characters were facing. Faith
and Elijah were true to life with their characteristics. There are some tense
moments but learning to see things differently can happen when others are
involved. I appreciate how the author brought the story together in a lovely
way without it feeling rushed in this novella.
Caring for the Amish’s Baby by Lighte had Leah and Jonathan caring
for his niece, due to her parent’s illness. Leah initial plans were for a short
visit with her best friend Leah but life happens. The unexpected time of being
together and recognizing a need brought a nice ending to the story that was
sorted unusual for an Amish man.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from one of the
authors and was under no obligation to write a positive review. I have
expressed my own opinion. I look forward to reading more Love Inspired Amish
stories by Chapman and Lighte.
