How fun I had visiting four different bakeries while I learned how some of the the Amish managed to run them.  (A favorite place of mine!)  These four novellas are written by four well known authors and all the stories do not disappoint.

In the process of baking cookies and cakes, I enjoyed how they all included a love interest and clean story among friendships and families surrounding the Thanksgiving and Christmas season.  After dealing with their problems it was heartwarming to see how they were resolved.

This is a very enjoyable read and so perfect for the Christmas season!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. No review was required.

A sweet collection of Christmas stories all with settings in an Amish bakery. The stories give readers a chance to sample different author's style of writing. Each story gives a glimpse into Amish life and family. It's fun to read about how each Amish community has their own rules and ways of life. Highly recommended!

What a sweet group of stories! From cookies to Christmas cheer to finding love and more, each story is full of friendship, love and Christmas joy. I enjoyed reading these stories. Each author has a unique way of writing and sharing. I received a complimentary copy of this book. No review was required.

This has to be the finest grouping of authors for a Christmas novella that I can remember. Each story had me forgetting the 95° July temperature of today and had me focusing and imagining the sights and smells of the holiday. Each story brings hope, forgiveness, and love...perfect sentiments of the season. This would make a great holiday gift. I know I am purchasing it for our library!

An Amish Christmas Bakery

What a charming Christmas collection of four Novella by four different authors. All four of these novellas were well written and well developed. This collection is about cookies, meaning of Christmas, love, christian fiction, and forgiveness. I really enjoyed this collection of wonderful novellas.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book by NetGalley and the Publisher, but as not told that I had to give a positive review. All opinions are my own.

3.5 stars

This is a charming novella collection, perfect for the upcoming holiday season. (I read this in the middle of summer, and it was a welcome, though brief, reprieve from the summer heat and humidity.) All four authors are well-known in Christian fiction for creating strong characters, charming settings, and heartwarming scenes, and this collection is no exception. All of the stories were wonderfully detailed, and the authors do a great job of making the reader feel a part of the story. The stories help the reader remember the true reason for the season. I enjoyed the discussion questions, as well, which would make this a nice book to use for a book club. If you're looking for a book that's a sweet, quick read and easy to fit into a busy schedule, this is one to check out.
