A Simple Amish Christmas by Vannetta ChapmanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Such a peaceful story about Christmas and the simplicity that should perhaps be the more common Christmas experience rather than the holiday-shopping-giving-rushing-around-frenzy that can be so common. Reading this while living 6,000 miles away from 'home' gave it a particularly strong appeal as I definitely related to the desire to be home where Christmas has always been celebrated with certain traditions that I desire and miss terribly.
