A Precious Christmas Gift

Just finished this book about an hour ago. I just love this author and on my way to reading all her books. I find her books are just so good, comforting and I feel like I am at home as I read them. You must try them! Patricia Johns is a fantastic Canadian author!

A Precious Christmas Gift by Patricia Johns
(Redemption’s Amish Legacies, 2)
Book 2 of 3: Redemption’s Amish Legacies
To make her hardest choice, this new mother must follow her heart.
’Tis the season of love, forgiveness…and goodbyes?
Unwed and heavily pregnant, Eve Shrock faces a difficult Christmas—soon her baby will arrive and be adopted by another Amish family. Though Eve finds
a friend in Noah Wiebe, the baby’s uncle-to-be, she can’t afford to fall for him. He might just make her wish for a future that seems impossible…one with her baby in her arms and Noah at her side.
This is Eve Shrock and Noah Wiebe’s story.
“You’re new around here,” he said. “Aren’t you?”
He was only being polite. Obviously, she was. He knew everyone in their Amish community, and he’d remember meeting a woman like her.
“Yah, just visiting,” she said.
The wind was bitingly cold this December morning, and Noah Wiebe hunched his shoulders against the probing chill as the Englisher snowplow ground on past Redemption Carpentry. The driver—a man in a baseball cap with cold-reddened ears—nodded at Noah in a silent mutual acknowledgment as the giant blade scraped across the asphalt, snow accumulating in a tumbling avalanche in front of the vehicle. Noah nodded back and headed across the street toward the town center roundabout where Redemption Carpentry had built a nativity stable to collect donations for a local family in need.
Wollie Zook’s family, more precisely. Noah had known Wollie since they were both boys, and they’d been good friends. Wollie left the community when he fell in love with an Englisher girl, and when their house went up in flames a week ago, he’d asked for help. He and his wife had four kinner, the youngest of which was still a toddler. He was doing his best to provide, and he had a decent job and some insurance, but he needed help to get through the Christmas season. Wollie had been talking to his parents about returning to the Amish life, but whether or not he could make that happen with an Englisher wife and children was anyone’s guess. This one had hit Noah hard—but no matter how much Noah liked to get things organized and into line, he wasn’t going to be able to help Wollie without the town’s cooperation. And Noah had a personal investment in bringing ex-Amish home again.
Noah carried a clapboard sign under one arm, and he stepped aside and politely nodded as an Amish woman with three little girls in tow passed him on the sidewalk. The clapboard had the times that the nativity would be open written in black paint so that passersby would know when to bring the donations that might be in danger of being stolen so that they could be brought back to a safe location. If the Zooks were going to get settled again, they needed everything from forks and spoons up to beds and furniture.
I highly recommend reading.
