An Amish Second Christmas by Shelley Shepard Gray, Patricia Johns and Virginia Wise contains three stories where couples are getting a second chance at love and life. Second Christmas is the day after Christmas where the Amish exchange gifts plus spend time with family and friends. I thought the stories were well-written with delightful and developed characters. They are uplifting stories with humor and sweet romance. I liked the feisty Maggie Lapp in His Amish Angel. She was not afraid to speak her mind and her column was a good outlet for her where she offered practical advice. We see how important compromise is to a relationship. I thought His Amish Angel was a unique story for Amish fiction. Their Second Chance is a thoughtful story where a couple is really getting a second chance. I liked that Hannah was breaking free from her family, but she was not disrespectful to them. I appreciated that there was an epilogue in Their Second Chance. In An Heirloom Christmas, Rachel grows heirloom plants. I could feel her passion for the project, and I like how she knew the history of the items she grew. The story also shows us that what we are looking for can be right there in front of us. Three heartwarming and charming stories that will leave you smiling (especially the end of An Heirloom Christmas). I look forward to reading more stories from these three authors.
