Christmas at Pebble Creek, book #25

 



Sorry Vannetta, but this one was a snooze fest.  The only thing good about this was that i figured out how to ready my Kindle books on the computer at work (on my lunch break) ~ ask my how! :)  But really, I knew it would be short, it was only 25 pages, but I literally read it in 20 minutes or less.  And there was no conflict, no turmoil, no nothing .... <yawns>

Heavy snow blankets the southwestern Wisconsin Amish community as nineteen-year-old Grace Miller closes the schoolhouse for Christmas break. She’s looking forward to having extra time to help the family prepare for the holiday, and she is hoping to get a few more drawings in of the beautiful, snowy Pebble Creek landscape. Her courtship with Adam Lapp is going on six months, and Grace can’t wait to give him his present: a blue-and-brown buggy blanket she crocheted for him. Yes, this Christmas is going to be especially joyful. Yet, amid the cheer of snowshoe outings, church potlucks, and holiday festivities, Grace is given a bittersweet reminder of the Christmas story. Grief is present with celebration, and though the future is rarely certain, she is given a heartwarming glimpse that God knows our needs before we do and will provide.

I've already started my next one and it looks much more promising!
