{Merry CHRISTmas everyone! Every Monday, Wednesday & Friday in honor of our Savior’s birth there’ll be a new Christmas book review! With a couple giveaways sprinkled in, it’s going to be so much fun! Let’s start!} 

About this book:

  “Sometimes the most unanticipated gifts are the most precious of all.
  In the Amish community of Bird-In-Hand, Pennsylvania, twenty-four-year-old Naomi King has had her heart broken twice, and she has all but given up on marriage and family.
  The she meets Caleb, a widower with an eight-year-old daughter.
  It’s the Christmas season, there’s magic in the air, and the deep feelings Caleb stirs in Naomi make her believe she may receive the gift of true love after all.

  Take a trip to Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, where you’ll meet the women of the Kauffman Amish Bakery in Lancaster County. As each woman’s story unfolds, you will share in her heartaches, trials, joys, dreams and secrets.

Most importantly, you will be encouraged by their hope, their faith, and the importance they place on their family.

My personal Rating-

While “Naomi’s Gift” was a novella, don’t let that stop you from reading it! It was a perfect length with such a sweet storyline!
