Book Review: Christmas in Apple Ridge

I live only hours from Amish country in Ohio, so I love curling up with a good Amish novel. This weekend, with the first snow flurries of the year, I got to savor the three stories in this book... which in itself was a pleasant surprise, because I thought it was one book--then I discovered it was THREE books in one! I had already read "The Christmas Singing", so reading the other two stories put that one more into context (although all three books can be read alone).

Each story shared a glimpse into the lives of the Amish men & women, taking you from moments of laughter to times of relating to heartache. And in story, you got to travel the road of healing and redemption, of course wrapped in a love story. These stories are perfectly paired with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, and usually make me want a piece of apple pie somewhere along the way. 

If you enjoy reading Amish fiction, this book(s) would be a great addition to your reading time!
