An Amish Christmas Match
Book Summary
Can one Amish woman give a struggling widower with five rowdy boys a helping hand—and chance at love—this Christmas season?
Phoebe Kropf knows everyone thinks she’s a bit odd—and more than a little accident-prone. She doesn’t understand why they fuss over her at home rather than see her as a bright, independent Amish woman. So when a friend asks Phoebe to help care for a house full of young men in nearby Sweetbrier Creek, she leaps at the chance to prove she’s more than her shortcomings . . .
Widower Seth Beiler is in over his head with his five orphaned brieder to care for and all the Christmas orders his woodworking shop needs to fulfill. When he asked for help with some cooking and cleaning, he wasn’t expecting a housekeeper as unconventional—or lovely—as Phoebe. Yet her warm care and holiday traditions win their hearts one by one. And soon the farmhouse finally starts to feel like home again. When the Christmas season and Phoebe’s time there is nearly at an end, will Seth convince her that the greatest gift would be her staying . . . as part of their familye? My Thoughts
An Amish Christmas Match by Winnie Griggs is a cute story. I enjoyed
getting to know Phoebe, Seth, Edna, and Seth’s brothers. I liked that the characters were realistic
with flaws. I felt for Phoebe who is
smart as a whip but feels dumb because she is unable to read. I can just imagine what school must have been
like for Phoebe. The opportunity to
work in the Beiler home will get Phoebe away from her well-meaning family and
give her a chance to prove she is an independent adult. It may help her gain some much-needed
confidence as well. Edna, Phoebe’s
friend and a Beiler’s relative, is a sweet and helpful woman (she is wily as
well). I liked reading about how the
Amish decorate for Christmas and celebrate the holiday. The story has humor, family,
friendship, romance, faith, and joy. I
am looking forward to reading the next book in the Sweetbriar Creek series. An Amish Christmas Match is a
sweet story with tumbling baked goods, boisterous brothers, orders galore, mouthwatering
meals, creating cards, helpful tips, and a happy holiday.
An Amish Christmas Match is available from Amazon* as well as other major retailers. An Amish Widow's Promise is the next book in the Sweetbriar Creek series and it will be published on April 29, 2025. You can find Winnie Griggs other novels here. Thank you for joining me today. Tomorrow I am a stop on the Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours for Essentials of Murder by Kim Davis. It is the first An Aromatherapy Apothecary Mystery. I am off to do hurricane preparedness outside (I have a couple more items to do). It looks like a Helene will be doing damage to the west coast of Florida (and I am in the "cone"). I need to remove anything outside that could become a projectile and move the grill. I am also downloading books to my ereaders and making sure that the ereaders are fully charged. I am glad that I got a grocery order on Monday that included bottled water. Please keep the residents of Florida in your prayers over the next couple of days. I hope that you have an uplifting day. Take care and Happy Reading!
