Publisher's Description
Rachel Milligan is caring for her seven-year-old niece, Holly, at her
home in Chicago when she receives devastating news: Holly's parents have
been killed in a plane crash. Because Rachel is Holly's only known
relative, she assumes that she will be her beloved niece's guardian.
However, custody is awarded to Lydia, a distant aunt who happens to be
Amish. Just a week before Christmas, Rachel takes Holly to the Amish
community in the hopes of persuading Aunt Lydia to relinquish custody.
Instead, Lydia sets out to teach Holly to live according to the Amish
way. As family secrets emerge and old wounds are healed, Rachel realizes
that she will do whatever it takes to ensure that Holly has the loving
family she needs.
Combining an Amish family saga with the
anticipation of Christmas cheer and the promise of a budding romance,
this newest Christmas story from beloved author Melody Carlson is sure
to please.
