Four Heartwarming Novellas of Love, Faith and Christmas Miracles
With her recent sales milestone of more than 1.5 million copies sold, New York Times and CBA bestselling author, Cindy Woodsmall secures her place as one of the top authors in an ever-growing genre. Woodsmall has written more than a dozen Amish fiction novels and novellas since 2006 and has risen to become one of the most recognizable names in Amish fiction writing.
Her commitment to accuracy, fueled by her real-life connections with Amish Mennonite and Old Order Amish families, sets her books apart from many others. Her success is due in part to her sincere respect for the Amish culture and her ability to shed light on both the triumphs and failures of America’s “Plain People.” In captivating detail, she explores themes common to all cultures—coming of age, romance, and family—but does so against the backdrop of the Amish landscape.
In her latest novel, Amish Christmas at North Star: Four Stories of Love and Family (WaterBrook Press, October 20, 2015) Woodsmall joins forces with four other impeccable writers to a create charming story of four young lives, forever linked by a single night. Christian fiction authors Mindy Starns Clark, Emily Clark, Amanda Flower, and Katie Ganshert lend their voices to this stirring Amish Christmas novella collection.
On a wintery late November night in 1989, an Amish midwife delivers four babies to four mothers at an Amish birthing clinic. Almost twenty-five years later the three girls and one boy born that night are grown, and “Rebekah's babies,” as they have been called, are scattered and facing an unusual Christmas that may just reunite these four strangers.
North Star’s picturesque setting will transport readers into an enchanting world of snow-covered buggies, as the mystery surrounding these four characters unfolds. Amish Christmas at North Star is the perfect gift for the holiday season and a beautiful reminder of all that love and faith make possible!
