It will take an Amish miracle to save Christmas for the Willow Springs Children's Home orphans.
When presents are stolen right before the annual Christmas benefit, Lydia Troyer and Aaron Shetler join forces with Detective Lewis Powers to unravel the mystery. The town's Christmas spirit is tested by strange events that leave the community ready to cancel all holiday festivities.
When prominent Amish businessman Milo Glick goes missing, it will take special detective skills to discover the truth behind his sudden disappearance. As the closed-lipped Amish community hinders Detective Powers' efforts, he is forced to employ Lydia, Aaron, and one special Labrador named Yankee to help solve the case. Will their discovery put them at odds with the traditions of their beliefs, or will they bring a newfound hope to the true meaning of Christmas?
Christmas should be a time for joy and hope, but for fourteen orphaned children, all is lost unless Lydia can find a way to give them more than they could hope for this holiday season.
The Orphans’ Amish Christmas is an Amish mystery novella that introduces you to the Willow Springs Amish Mystery Romance Series. If you like secrets, disappearances, plot twists, and sometimes murder, then you'll adore Tracy Fredrychowski's small-town whodunnit Amish mysteries.
The Orphans’ Amish Christmas by Tracy Fredrychowski is a tale that mixes a mystery alone with the true meaning
of Christmas. I thought the story was
well written with realistic characters.
I enjoyed getting to spend time with Lydia, Aaron, Aaron’s sweet
daughter, and Lydia’s dog, Yankee.
Thanks to the case of the missing gifts and the disappearance of their
benefactor, Milo Glick, we get to know Detective Powers. The story has a touch of romance. I would have liked to have read Lydia and
Aaron’s story (how they came to be together) before this novella. I enjoyed following Detective Powers as well
as Lydia and Aaron as they set out to find Milo and the missing gifts. It was an interesting mystery. I enjoyed how the true meaning of Christmas
was explained. I could understand why
Aaron’s daughter wanted a Christmas tree at home. I liked Aaron’s explanation as to why the
Amish do not have Christmas trees. The
story has a heartwarming ending.
