This volume includes three stories of love, family, and faith—the greatest gifts of the season:
A Sleigh Ride on Ice Mountain by Kelly Long
For solitary toy-maker Sebastian Christner, hiring Kate Zook as his new housekeeper is simply the right thing to do. Now she can support her special-needs brother. But one taste of her independent spirit is showing him undreamed-of holiday joy—and making him long to give her a home for always . . .
A Mamm for Christmas by Amy Lillard
Bernice Yoder has far too much to do to entertain holiday dreams. Even if she can help Jess Schmucker outwit his three mischievous young daughters, it's impossible to imagine the handsome widower can see her as anything but a scolding schoolteacher. He never guesses how a magical Christmas Eve will open his eyes to love or how Der Herr will awaken their faith and hope.
An Unexpected Christmas Blessing by Molly Jebber
As much as Charity Lantz's children need a father, the young widow isn't sure her new neighbor Luke Fisher can ever be the right choice. They're having more disagreements than snowflakes in December. Besides, he's never given a sign he wants to be more than friends. Can Gott show them a way past their misunderstandings to a forever love?

Three blended Amish families celebrate Christmas in this warmhearted romance anthology. In Long’s “A Sleigh Ride on Ice Mountain,” orphaned Kate is struggling to raise her disabled young brother. Gentle toy maker Sebastian offers Kate a job—and a lifeline. In Lillard’s humorous “A Mamm for Christmas,” three spirited sisters decide that their schoolteacher should be their new mother and insist that their widowed father marry her. Jebber transports readers to a small community in early-20th-century Ohio for “An Unexpected Christmas Blessing,” in which a widowed mother with two young children is drawn to her charming but secretive neighbor. Filled with traditional Amish romance elements, the tales cover a variety of themes while remaining true to the spirit of the holiday. -

This trio of wintry heartwarmers--along with a mug of hot chocolate and a crackling fire--are guaranteed to get the season off to a great start. A reserved master toymaker with a hidden past is attracted to his housekeeper in Long's poignant, legend-touched "A Sleigh Ride on Ice Mountain"; three creative sisters go to extremes to bring their dad and their teacher together in Amy Lillard's affectionate and hilarious "A Mamm for Christmas"; and a young widowed mother struggles between her feelings for her handsome new neighbor and a longtime friend who wants to marry her in "An Unexpected Christmas Blessing," an absorbing historical by Molly Jebber. VERDICT Children's laughter, heaven-sent prayers, and the scent of snow rise from the pages of this touching anthology that should please fans of Amish romance and attract new readers to the subgenre. Long, Lillard, and Jebber live in Northern Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, and Ohio, respectively.
