One Child by Barbara Cameron.
The birth of one child forever changed the world two thousand years ago. On a snowy Christmas night in Lancaster County, another child changes the world for two very different couples.
My Review: I love a book that has three stories in one. Simply because when I finish one read I can go on to the next without looking for a new book. I love convenience! And I loved this book!
The first story is A Choice To Forgive by Beth Wiseman. This is the story of a young widow coming out of grief. Just when Lydia thinks her heart is healing in walks her ex-love, Daniel. There is mystery surrounding why he left and why is he back. Lydia's world is topsy-turvy. She secretly still loves Daniel but must find out the circumstances surrounding his leaving and no woman worth her salt would let a man (Amish or not!) get away with not dealing with the past and present. A great-tastic short story!
A Miracle For Miriam by Kathleen Fuller is about Seth who comes back to the Amish community to pick up the pieces of a "left-over" life. Not an easy feat! Especially when he has shattered the love of Miriam. I love Kathleen Fuller's writings and so I was especially partial to this story. I felt for Miriam and wished Seth had made wiser choices. However, this read was great for reminding me about God's love and mercies! A fabulous short story!
One Child by Barbara Cameron is a new author for me and this story was quite interesting as she mixed the English couple with an Amish couple . Having lost a child in miscarriage Sarah and her husband take in an English couple who are about to have a child. Sarah longs and hopes for a child of her own! A great lesson in waiting for God's best and in God's timing. Loved the story and had tears in my eyes by the end. A lovely short story!
Three stories, three authors and one 5 star fantastic read!
