Amish Christmas Kitchen 

September 3, 2019

As the weather grows cold and the nights grow long, the cheer and warmth of the Christmas season is one thing all readers can find comfort in. This collection from bestselling Amish fiction novelists Leslie Gould, Jan Drexler, and Kate Lloyd finds the beating heart at the center of the holiday and offers three novellas that celebrate family, faith, and especially the sights and smells of a bustling holiday kitchen.

Leslie Gould tells the

story of how, in the wake of a heartbreaking loss, a young Amish woman finds unexpected comfort and hope in a yearly baking tradition surrounding the local Lancaster Christmas market. Jan Drexler offers a sweet tale of a shy Amish woman who decides to use her gift for sweets to woo a local Amish boy with her beloved Christmas cookies. And Kate Lloyd offers a heartwarming tale of a woman's unexpected discovery about the truth of her past, and the warm and welcoming Amish family table she finds herself invited to on Christmas.

My thoughts: this is a collection written by three lesser known but very talented authors

 centered around Christmas baking. I enjoyed all three of the stories greatly but the third

 one was my favorite since it defined the norm and went into first person in a unique 

storyline. I enjoyed all three of them greatly and a various things the Amish women 

managed to get involved in sometimes accidentally sometimes on purpose. I highly 

recommend this book for any time of the year but it is centered around the Christmas 

season and Christmas baking. This would be a great book to have on season for next 

year it's one you might want to read or reread over and over and over again. I was

 given a copy free and all my opinions are my own.
