The Christmas Gathering by Shelley Shepard Gray, Lenora Worth, Rachel J. Good

This book contains three separate stories of  Amish holiday time.  They are sweet stories and each is different than the others.  I enjoyed each of the stories.  The stories were all good and I think my favorite was The Christmas Reunion.  In some ways reminded me of family holiday get-togethers and there is often a "stray" person as a guest.  In this case it was a non-Amish young man and how he related to the family members.  The second story was about a long-standing family feud of two Amish families.  It's interesting how it continues through time until...a new romance blossoms between the feuding families.  The last story was about "Rebel Amish" and the problems that occurred as a group of young Amish youth start a band, which is not abiding by the Amish rules.  I enjoyed all the stories and they were fun holiday reads. 

I received an ARC of this book from one of the authors.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

An Amish Christmas Table : Four Amish Christmas Sweet Romance Stories Tracy Fredrychowski et.al.

This book consists of four novellas revolving around Christmas.  These are perfect for the upcoming Christmas season and really for any time of year. I read Tracy Fredychowski's novella entitled Love beneath the pine.  Loved this story as it reminded me of being a caretaker, and yet still remembering to care for yourself, physically, spiritually and other ways, as well and to allow others to help you. Sometimes we are so involved as caretakers we forget we can't always do things alone. The antique table that Isaac restores, is a beautiful part of the book as it tells the story of times and people in the past. It's beautiful and a sweet story.

Amish Love Letters by Shelley Shepard Gray, Charlotte Hubbard and Rosalind Lauer

This book consists of four wonderful novellas.  It was such a good book and the three stories were each very different and do not relate to each other.  The novellas were written by very talented authors and I loved each of these stories.  The first deals with a very difficult situation and things which needed to be taken care of.  It was a realistic view of some not so perfect family issues.  

The second story entitled S.W.A.K., takes place in Promise Lodge which there are several books about. I have read the Promise Lodge series and love them.  This story was no exception.  I really enjoyed this story.  I enjoyed how Eddie came to help work on repairs for the Tornado damaged lodge. 

The last story was about a young widow who is navigating life without a husband and wondering what the future will bring as her parents try to set her up with someone.

Each story revolves around love letters written between two people.  This was a very sweet Amish book and the stories are well written and all very engaging.  You won't want to put the book down.
