An Amish Christmas: A Choice to Forgive/A Miracle for Miriam/One Child (Inspirational Amish Christmas Romance Collection) ReviewI have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about a book with Amish romances; it just seemed like a bizarre concept. I grew up in a state that had many Amish people, so I was familiar with seeing them from an early age, in different situations. Some were more restrained, some were friendlier than others, but they always seemed to be at peace. I know now that their peace and contentment comes from a deep commitment to God and to their way of life. What's really nice about these stories is that religious faith is a natural part of the stories, and a natural part of the character's lives. It isn't intrusive as it tends to be sometimes in other books. Nobody hits anyone over the head and starts preaching at them, because that simply is not the Amish way. They speak of God and they think of Him often, and they pray, because they have a personal relationship with God. He is a natural part of their lives, and it's refreshing to see that treatment. We see that our characters are real women with real lives and real concerns, hopes, and dreams. The stories are simple and easy to relate to. I liked the fact that all three of the main characters appeared in each others' stories in supporting roles, although I would have enjoyed learning more about what happened to Miriam, the ugly duckling, after she began her romance with Seth, and I would like to know more about her sister Lydia who was widowed three years previously, and then meets the love of her life again. The stories are handled with sensitivity and respect for the Amish, which was really nice. Of all the characters, I was the most taken with Miriam, who grew up feeling ugly and unwanted after an embarrassing incident in her school days. She wasn't ready to reach out or trust any man, even though she admitted that she wanted a husband and her own family. It was interesting to see how she learned to open up to Seth, her tormentor from eighth grade, and interact on a more adult level. I found the story believable and poignant. I loved the story about Sarah, struggling with recovering from a miscarriage at Christmas, the year before, and her unexpected visitors in a freak Christmas storm. The stories were lovely, and I found myself wondering about the three women after finishing each story. The three stories are all set at Christmas, in the same year, so we really don't get much of a progression of events after the stories for Miriam and Lydia end. I for one, would love to read more about the ladies. I found Lydia the least interesting of the characters, but I still enjoyed her rekindling a long ago romance, with her first love, Daniel, who had broken her heart many years before. The writing isn't great, but it is comfortable and will keep you interested and entertained. I would definitely read more stories by any of the three authors, and I wouldn't be averse to another one like this, where all three stories were continued. Frankly, I'm tired and bored with explicit sex and language, so it was refreshing to pick up a book where people are real, but not tiresome. These women feel like people you already know, or could easily be friends with, in your own world. The friendship they have with each other is something we would all love to have, but rarely do. Most of our friends just aren't that nice!
