    About this ebook

    As the only girl in a family of eight, Katie Swartzentruber has been left in charge of her family’s bakery while her mother recuperates from surgery. At first, Katie doesn’t think tending to the bakery alone will be difficult. She’s worked alongside her mother for years. But Christmas is coming, and with the holiday comes a flood of patrons, both regulars and tourists. When Katie becomes overwhelmed with the orders she is receiving, she is tempted to move her Old Order family into the modern world by purchasing propane ovens to help with the workload. She finds help from an unexpected source—childhood friend Henry Hershberger, who has harbored a secret crush on Katie for years. He’s been afraid to tell her how he feels, but he’s sure that this Christmas is his moment. As the demands of the bakery only get more intense, both Katie and Henry have to decide what really matters . . . and find the courage within themselves to go after it.

      The four stories in this new book are written by four different authors and even though they are all different, they are all centered around Amish bakeries and they all have the common themes of love, friendship, and the importance of family. I appreciate that there are discussion questions at the end of each novella and I liked that I could choose to read one story at a time, as my schedule allowed. I will admit, however, that I found myself wanting to keep reading because all of them are so good!An Amish Christmas Bakery is a wonderful collection of inspirational Christmas stories and it will put you in the holiday spirit long before the days actually come. These four novellas stress the need for hope and joy and they all share the true reason for celebrating the season known as Christmas! I received a complimentary copy of this book but I wasn't required to write a positive review. These are my honest thoughts.
    • 5/5
      This was probably one of my favorite anthologies I have ever read. Each of the four stories in this book were all from some of my favorite Amish fiction writers. Each story was as good as the one before it.Cookies and Cheer by Amy Clipston was wonderful. Alyssa and Kyle must each remember what the Christmas season truly represents again.Loaves of Love by Beth Wiseman is the next book and also wonderful. Katie must learn that going a bit modern isn’t always what is best.Melting Hearts by Kathleen Fuller is fantastic. Both Mattie and Peter learn that not all “friends” tell the truth.Cakes and Kissed by Kelly Irvin was one that made me laugh and cry. Martha and Ambrose learn that differences don’t always matter. These were all fantastic Amish stories. I received a copy of this book from the author for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
    • 4/5
      These four novellas, as the title implies, all have to do with baking. Sometimes overwhelmed with the demands of the season and their jobs, it was interesting to read about how these Amish women coped . . . and how they didn’t! There were some life lessons to be learned along the way, that’s for sure and certain. All these authors have written enjoyable tales of inspiration, with just the right touch of romance thrown in. There were some problems to solve, but that just made the endings sweeter.
