Patricia Davids swept me into this book almost from the first page. I have always enjoyed reading her books and A Haven for Christmas wasn’t a disappointment to this reader. This story had a different twist to it because the author introduced a cowboy from Oklahoma to be one of the main characters. He soon won over the Amish people of the community with his cowboy tales and his good humor. I thought all the characters were very likeable and I enjoyed it when Davids bought back a few from an earlier book in the series. It was nice to catch up with everyone from The Teachers Dilemma. The story was filled with the Christmas Spirit as the Characters baked cookies and went Christmas caroling.
Tully Lange is a recovering alcoholic who has just lost his job and has been evicted from his apartment. He’s on his way to Caribou Maine to visit his friend Arnie Dawson when he hits a calf out on the highway. He’s a former cowboy from Oklahoma and he knows cattle. He stops to rescue the calf and it’s mother follows along as he walks to the nearest farm. When he gets there he meets Becca Beachy and learns that five more cows have gotten out. After they get all the cows and work on the calf Tully decides to stay at the farm to take care of the calf. Then things seem to happen that keep Tully at the farm. They need his help and he needs a place to stay and three meals a day. The author has written a beautiful story about a man who is always joking and making people laugh because he is hiding from his hurting life. With the Amish he finds people who care for him and offer him friendship . He feels like for the first time he is part of a family. This is a very heart warming story that I’m sure you will love. I know I did.
I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy Amish Fiction with a touch of romance. Also to those who love to read Christmas fiction.

A Haven for Christmas by Patricia Davids
(North Country Amish Book 3)
Can love bridge these hearts from worlds apart?
An Amish widow. An Englisch cowboy.
And a Christmas to remember.
An accident landing an Englischer on Becca Beachy’s farm isn’t quite the peaceful Christmas she expected. But with the widow struggling after an emergency, Tully Lange’s help is a blessing. Now Becca’s determined to give the cowboy a true Amish Christmas. But even as she falls for him, she knows their love is forbidden. Will this be the start of forever or the beginning of goodbye?
This is Becca Beachy and Tully Lange’s story.
“Did Rosie have her bobbli last night?”
Becca Beachy pinned her daughter’s white kapp to her thick red hair, then tweaked the seven-year-old’s nose. “Nee, she did not. Do you think I would keep it a secret if your new calf had arrived?”
Annabeth couldn’t hide her disappointment. “Daadi thought she might, and he knows everything about cows.”
“I’m sorry to do this to you, Tully. I hope you know that.”
Tully Lange stared at the eviction notice he had just been handed by the kid who managed the apartment building. His rent was two weeks past due, but he had hoped to get a month’s extension. So much for hope.
Things weren’t going his way. He’d lost his job as a night watchman on Monday when the owner of the corner pawnshop where he worked died. Tully hadn’t found another job yet, but he was looking. The high point of his week had been a lukewarm Thanksgiving dinner at the local soup kitchen the day before yesterday. And now this. Happy holidays. It was enough to drive a sober man to drink.
I highly recommend reading.
A Haven for Christmas by Patricia Davids is a wonderful well written 5 star book.
I am looking forward to reading more books by Patricia Davids.
