One night four lives entered the world by the hands of an Amish midwife, just outside North Star, Pennsylvania.
Rebekah’s Babies, as they are called, are now grown adults and in four heartwarming novellas each young person experiences a journey of discovery, a possibility of love, and the wonder of Christmas.
Guiding Star by Katie Ganshert
Curiosity gets the best of Englischer Chase Wellington when he investigates the twenty-five-year-old disappearance of an Amish baby. When he finds adventurous Elle McAllister in Iowa will his discoveries upend her world?
Mourning Star by Amanda Flower
Eden Hochstetler slips from her parents’ fudge shop to investigate the death of her friend Isaac. Who is guilty? Isaac’s handsome great nephew Jesse, an angry Englischer, or someone else?
In the Stars by Cindy Woodsmall
Heartbroken Kore Detweiler avoids North Star after Savilla Beiler rejects his love. But when he is unexpectedly called to return home, he and Savilla must join forces to keep a family together.
Star of Grace by Mindy Starns Clark and Emily Clark
Andy Danner left North Star to join a new Amish settlement in Mississippi. His little brother devises a scheme to bring Andy home for Christmas and unwittingly unleashes the power of forgiveness in a reclusive widower’s life.
My thoughts:
Filled with inspiration, intrigue, and romance, Amish Christmas at North Star is a wonderful collection!
While Woodsmall, Clark, and Flower are beloved authors of Amish fiction, this is Ganshert’s first foray into the genre. What a marvelous addition she is! Her story, Guiding Star, was my favorite of the collection, and I hope she will bring us more Amish stories in the future.
Although they share a common thread, the four novellas are unique, and I delighted in the charm of each one. These ladies are gifted storytellers and their stories of discovery engaged and entertained! I loved Amish Christmas at North Star and can’t wait to share this treasure with family and friends this holiday season!
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts expressed are my own.

When I was in 5th grade we made a Santa Claus Castle at school. We used boxes and whipped up ivory snow soap to make a frosting like consistency and then we frosted the boxes and put on decorations. Once the soap set up, it was beautiful. We had a drawing in class the day of our Christmas program and the person that won could take the castle home after the program that night. We all picked numbers and then our teacher drew a number from the box of numbers she had. The number was 13. Guess who had that number! I was the happy winner. Every year at home after that, we made a Santa Claus Castle. What fun we had!
Blessings!

I love Christmas stories! My mother and I started a tradition years ago of reading only Christmas-themed novels from Thanksgiving until 12/26. The Amish theme will only make it better.

I’m already in the mood for holiday fiction. I’ll even go as far as to confess that I started listening to Christmas music last week (don’t judge me).
For this title I am especially interested in to read Katie Ganshert’s take on Amish Fiction.
