Christmas at Promise Lodge

Summary: "As the year draws to a close, the brand-new colony of Promise Lodge is thriving, a welcoming community that offers three Amish sisters a fresh start. And as Christmas approaches, gifts big and small are given with love. As Promise Lodges first wedding arrives, the evidence of a community building a foundation for the future is a cause for celebration. But the bishops narrow-minded wedding sermon doesnt sit well with the Bender sisters, the towns courageous founders, especially widowed Mattie Schwartz. She believes marriage and family arent the most important of Gods giftseven if she suspects her tender feelings for Preacher Amos Troyer run deeper than simple friendship. Amos hasnt given up hope that stubborn, spirited Mattie will change her mind about taking another husband, but when an accident threatens to change the course of his life forever, he wonders if the Lord has sent him a message. Hell need faith, hope, and charity to find the right pathand a Christmas blessing to convince Mattie to walk it with him."--From publisher.
