Mattie Riehl was hoping to give her husband, Sol, the Christmas gift they have both longed for--news that a baby was on the way. But as usual, she is disappointed. The holidays bring an acute awareness to Mattie that her dream of a big Amish family isn't likely to become a reality. Will those empty chairs at the table ever be filled?
Then a winter storm raging outside blows an impatient young woman and her husband into the Riehl home on Christmas Eve--and into a much slower pace of life.
Both couples are about to find out if they can weather the storm--and if miracles still happen at Christmastime.
This heartwarming story about two couples from totally different worlds will touch home with many about what is really important, not only at Christmas but all year long. We all can take something positive from the simplistic lives of the Amish.
When loss and struggling relationships have them questioning God's love and presence, they find themselves forced by a snowstorm to come to terms with the true meaning of the Christmas spirit.
In this adventurous page-turner you will experience encouragement, forgiveness, and God's perfect grace.
