A Perfect Amish Christmas
Jennifer Beckstrand
Anna
and Felty Helmuth's grandson, Gideon, plans to spend Christmas on a
beach in sunny Mexico. But Anna is quite sure he'd rather be with them,

girl. Not only is Dottie Schrock an excellent quilter and baker, she's
having a party. There's just one complication--Gideon is not invited.
Dottie has her reasons, but Anna trusts that the spirit of
Christmas--and true love--will change her mind, and her future . .Jennifer Beckstrand
About The Authors:
Charlotte Hubbard sold her first historical romance in 1990, and she's been a slave to her overactive imagination ever since. As she writes, her stories invariably take on a life of their own, different from the way she proposed them: unforeseen characters and plot twists come along, and they keep her guessing right along with her readers! Charlotte has lived in the Midwest most of her life. When she's not writing, she loves touring historic homes, trying new recipes, crocheting, and playing with her Border Collie, Ramona. She's a Presbyterian deacon, sings in her church choir, and plays in the percussion ensemble. She's married to a fine man who--bless him--has never once suggested she get a real job!
Kelly Long was born and raised in North Central Pennsylvania. There was an Amish hitching post at the small grocery store in her town. She loves to write Amish romance and is the author of novel, Sarah's Garden, the novella Amish Christmas Expanded Edition with some other great Amish authors, Amish Love with Beth Wiseman and Kathy Fuller, and Lilly's Wedding Quilt--the sequel to Sarah's Garden. She lives in Atlanta with her husband and children.
Jennifer Beckstrand grew up with a steady diet of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen. After all that literary immersion, she naturally decided to get a degree in mathematics, which came in handy when one of her six children needed help with homework. After her fourth daughter was born, she started writing. By juggling diaper changes, soccer games, music lessons, laundry, and two more children, she finished my first manuscript--a Western--in just under fourteen years. Jennifer now writes Inspirational Amish Romance. The goal is to write uplifting, inspiring stories with happy endings and hopeful messages. If her books make readers want to give themselves a big hug or jump up and down for joy, she feels as if she has done her job. She is a member of Romance Writers of America and American Christian Fiction Writers and am represented by Mary Sue Seymour of The Seymour Agency. You can find her at:

My Thoughts On The Book: Christmas themed stories, movies, songs all draw me in like a spider into a web. However, these three Amish Christmas novellas were not the best I have ever read by any of these authors and not the worst by any means. The stories were sweet but seemed to lack depth as sometimes novellas do. I enjoyed taking time out of my day to read each individual Christmas story....but none of these made me want to drop everything I was doing just to read.
