Anna is very interesting. She is allowed to use a cellphone for her calls, but has to travel with a pony and buggy. The Amish women don't go for ultrasound scans so the midwife and her wisdom are hugely important. Anna is allowed to call the emergency squad if needed. Of course, in heavy snow, every kind of travel is problematic. Not the ideal time for romance, but Christmas has a way of bringing out the best in people.
While the Amish don't have a big entertainment over the feast, we see that the homes are cleaned thoroughly and natural greenery spread as decorations. The day after Christmas is called by the Amish, Second Christmas, a day for visiting family.
Jo Ann Brown takes up the storytelling with A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER. A shopkeeper finds a small child and young woman in the snow; the woman claims to have amnesia. What is Amos Stoltzfus supposed to do with them? He's not even respectably wed. The little girl says her name is Polly and the woman's name is Linda, and they are going to see Polly's grandparents. That's all she knows. Amos decides to bring them home to his mother. After all, he is obligated to help those in need. While this gentle tale is a way of exploring who we are; the sum of our memories, or our instinctive actions, or the reflection of other people's opinions; it is also a sweet romance.
AMISH CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS is understated and does what it says on the back. Anyone who enjoys the books by these fine romance authors will be keen to look for a copy in their stocking.
