Despite Abigail’s constant chatter, Micah realizes he’s beginning to care for her—until he makes a decision that leaves her feeling betrayed. With Christmas in their midst, can Micah find a way to reconcile with Abigail and to reveal the true feelings of his heart?

A Delightful Story

I love feel good stories, and this is a good one! Great characters. The narrator did some voices well and some rather silly. But I like the sweetness she gave the main character.

Very Sweet Story

What a nice story. It’s the shortest of all the Amish love stories I have read, and I wasn’t sure how the author would make it work, but it turned out to be wonderful. In the beginning I thought the narrator was speaking a little fast, but she turned out to be fine and did a good job. I like this author very much. She is able to capture the sweetness and innocence I appreciate so much.
