Each story in this collection is full of emotion, faith, and the warmth of the season. Perfect for fans of Amish fiction and holiday tales, The Christmas Gathering will leave readers with a sense of peace, joy, and the magic of second chances. A truly lovely collection for the Christmas season.

The Christmas Gathering is an anthology made up of 3 Amish Romances.
A CHRISTMAS REUNION by Shelley Shepard Gray introduces us to Tricia Troyer, who has feelings for her cousin's English friend. Brandt Holden joins the Troyer family for their holiday gathering. As their feelings become evident to everyone, they have decisions to make. Can an Amish girl and an English boy have a future together? Maybe if there is a Christmas Miracle.
WE GATHER TOGETHER by Lenora Worth shares the story of Lucas Myer and Kayla Hollinger who meet each other while their families are staying at the same inn, one for a wedding and one for a family reunion. They fall for each other very quickly, but their families have been feuding for years. Can the plan they come up with bring their grandfather's back together and help them to forgive one another so they can be together?
HITTING ALL THE RIGHT NOTES by Rachel J. Good This story introduces us to Mark, an Amish man who loves music. When he chooses to go on the road with a band, he is banished by his family. A few years later, his manager absconds with their money and they are stranded. The rest of the group return home, but Mark cannot. He is offered a job teaching music at a youth center, where is meets a young woman who he saw at one of his events years earlier. Can he find his way back to his family, and will his super fan become more than just that?

I enjoyed all three of these stories that involve love, family, forgiveness, finding your way and of course Christmas. We Gather Together was my favourite of the group, probably because it is set at The Shadow Lake Inn, a setting from a previous trilogy that I enjoyed. It was nice to see the King family again. I liked how the two young people worked with the Kings and other members of their family to get their grandfathers to reconcile and forgive one another. A Christmas Reunion was my least favourite because it really didn't show how the relationship between Tricia and Brandt would work within the Amish beliefs. Hitting All the Right Notes was very believable and relatable. I felt bad for what happened to the band members, but you hear of that happening often in real life. I enjoyed how Mark dealt with his indecision about his family as well as having a possible relationship while struggling with his faith and path in life. There is quite a bit of Christmas in these stories with celebrations, food and fun.

This is a sweet collection of heartwarming stories perfect for any time of the year! My favorite of the three was the last one by Rachel J. Good. I was intrigued by Mark's past as an Amish rock and roll star in the region, and his current situation busking with a handicapped man. He's reunited with an elusive admirer Joline, who had been on her own journey of rebellion and faith-seeking. After reading this novella I found the original story of the Amish rock band and the community center Joline's family established with the help of a wealthy local patron. I really enjoy this author's writing style and her characters.

This book will get you in the Christmas spirit!
This sweet and lovely compilation is about love, faith and a chance for life filled with love and helping encourage others. Filled with inspiration and love. This is a must read. This book is filled with three short stories by three of my favorite authors.
Many thanks to the author, Kensington. Publishing and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of the book. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Three novellas set the stage for Christmas reading in this book by known writers of Amish fiction. Although each story is unique and different, each will prove to be more than satisfactory for readers of Amish fiction novels. Whether the story deals with love between an "odd couple" (Amish and Englisher), or a story of star-crossed lovers and a family feud, the Christmas element adds delight and joy to this collection.

This is a series of clean and sweet novels, with no overt violence, graphic intimacy, or strong language. Snuggle up with a cup of something warm and satisfying, a plate of goodies, and a woolly blanket and get ready to read!

I received this book from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

Three of my fave Amish fiction authors in one Christmas romance collection? Yes please! Each author writes with warmth and creates layered and heartfelt characters that you can’t help but love, and their individual contributions to The Christmas Gathering are no exception!

In The Christmas Reunion, author Shelley Shepard Gray takes us along on a fun holiday gathering of family and friends, with a mix of Amish and Englisch attendees and a lovely ‘Regency house party’ vibe in a contemporary Amish setting. One such mix of Amish & English is Tricia Troyer and her cousin’s buddy Brandt Holden – a guidance counselor who isn’t Amish, so you can imagine the complications this brings into any possible romantic relationship between them. I did find her family to be pretty laid-back about it for the most part, which was refreshing. And Brandt’s conversation with Tricia’s dad Mervin (“truly one of the strangest, most unexpected conversations he’d ever had in his life.”) is one of my fave moments in this collection! I loved that they’ve been friends and corresponding since last year’s gathering, because it gives their budding romance a foundation and backstory. Lots of fun to be had in this story, and hosts Abel & Annie Troyer make it all the more delightful. (I also think I caught a brief mention of my still-favorite Shelley Shepard Gray hero, Simon, too.)

Lenora Worth’s We Gather Together takes us to a familiar setting for those who’ve read her Shadow Lake series, but it’s fine as a standalone. And even though I haven’t yet read those books, this novella piqued my curiosity to go back and meet the characters of the Shadow Lake Inn from the beginning. The Hatfield & McCoy vibes are strong between Lucas and Kayla’s families (which makes these two newly-smitten lovebirds Romeo & Juliet), and Worth tugs on the emotions as Kayla and Lucas find themselves falling in love despite their families’ feud. The Myers are at the inn for a family reunion, the Hollingers for a family wedding… but they’re all snowed in with some hot tempers and some growing romantic sparks. I loved Lucas and Kayla, and the characters of Shadow Lake Inn who step in to help save the day between these two warring clans. Along with the sweet & swoony romance in this story, there is a touching message of forgiveness, peace, and restoration just in time for the Christmas season.

Closing out the collection is Hitting All the Right Notes by Rachel J. Good, a story I loved just as much for its character development and unexpected plot elements as I did for the romance. Not only does this novella take place over the span of a few years (which isn’t easy to pull off successfully with a shorter word count, but Good definitely uses it to the story’s advantage), it also follows an Amish boy’s love of music from sneaking listens of his neighbor’s garage band in childhood to being in a popular rock band as a young adult. Along with Mark, we also meet Jolene – a daring young Amish woman who yearns for more knowledge and experiences outside the restrictions her family has put in place (fun fact – Jolene’s parents will be familiar to readers of Good’s Surprised by Love series). My favorite part of this story – well, besides the ever-delightful Mrs. Vandenburg, is that it’s less a tale of these two restless souls falling in love (though the romance IS very sweet) and more one of these two restless souls finding redemption, peace, and purpose with God. Because of how it spans several years, we really feel like we know Mark and Jolene by the end, and I love stories that do that for me.

Bottom Line: Wrap up in a cozy quilt, grab a mug of hot chocolate or warm cider… and maybe a sweet baked good or two, and settle in for three novellas that surround you with faith, family, Christmas, and of course love. Each story in The Christmas Gathering surprised me in some way with plots and characters that aren’t ‘typical’ for the genre: a big Amish house party (complete with an elaborate scavenger hunt), feuding Amish families, and an Amish rock band. I really enjoyed the unexpected plots/characters and the engaging writing voices of all three authors. Shelley Shepard Gray, Lenora Worth, and Rachel J. Good all craft excellent stories, and this sweet collection will give you a wonderful taste of their individual styles if you have somehow managed not to read any books by them yet. A lovely choice for getting in the Christmas spirit!

(I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book

Three wonderful and warm encouraging stories that will put you in the Christmas spirit. Each Author did a excellant job of writing their stories, you won't put the book down. A Christmas Reunion, We gather together, and Hitting all the right notes all have the sweet romance we all desire with the importance of faith and family at Christmas time.

Rating: 3 stars ~ Genres: Amish, Christmas ~ Pages: 286 ~ Publish Date: 24 Sep 2024

A CHRISTMAS REUNION by Shelley Shepard Gray ~ Rating: 4.5 stars

I loved this novella. It made me chuckle. Smile. It has all the things that make a pleasant story good. Did I have issues? Yeah, I did. The acceptance of Tricia’s parents of Brandt (an Englisher’) was a little too smooth. The Amish proverb given before this first story applies very well. “Pleasant days are just ordinary days made better by good people.”

WE GATHER TOGETHER by Lenora Worth ~ Rating: 2.5 stars

A short story has to have good characters and a meaningful plot. This one had too many characters. And when that happens, the plot gets lost. And with no story — well, I was glad it was a novella.

HITTING ALL THE RIGHT NOTES by Rachel J. Good ~ Rating: 3 stars

Here’s where my personal knowledge bangs against the plot … the part where Andrew is offered a job teaching piano. I have had two major careers in my life and one is a piano teacher. Just because you can play piano beautifully does not mean you can teach it. I had good teachers. A couple of awful ones. Who didn’t know HOW to teach so most of what I learned was wrong. I was a good teacher, a very good teacher but I worked hard at it and studied how to teach music concepts rather than just notes.

Overall rating: 3 stars ~ not a great recommendation. If you do decide to read this Christmas trilogy, read #2 first followed by #3, and finish with #1.

So many sweet Christmas stories! I love compilation books that all move off of one theme, Beautiful stories of love, and of the birth of the Savior.

“The Christmas Gathering” features three Amish Christmas Romances by Shelley Shepard Gray, Lenora Worth, and Rachel J. Good

A CHRISTMAS REUNION by Shelley Shepard Gray

Englischer Brandt Holden is thrilled to be spending Christmas with the family of his Amish friend Mark, especially Mark’s cousin Tricia. The two have been writing to each other since last Christmas and are clearly attracted to each other but there’s one huge issue – Mark is not Amish and cannot marry Tricia unless she leaves the Amish faith. Will their love conquer all?

I usually like Shelley Shepard Gray’s works but this was my least favorite in this collection. I think it might have worked better as a full length novel where we could see the romance between the two develop from their first meeting, through their letters, and then to their next meeting. Also, I thought the Amish were way too accepting of the developments in the story. I did like some things like the scavenger hunt but even that could have been developed more.

WE GATHER TOGETHER by Lenora Worth

Lucas Myer and Kayla Hollinger meet when both of their families are staying at the same inn and become quick friends and perhaps a bit more. However, their relationship seems doomed because of a longtime feud between the two families. Lucas and Kayla have a week to reconcile their families and hopefully embark on a future together but it will take a Christmas miracle to pull it off!

This was my favorite of the three stories! It was fun, it was cute, it was romantic, and even a touch humorous. I love Lucas and Kayla as a couple and I loved the efforts of the two of them to bring their families together. Again, because it is a novella, the romance seemed a bit rushed (taking place over a week) but I still very much enjoyed it.

HITTING ALL THE RIGHT NOTES by Rachel J. Good

Years ago, Mark left his Amish family for a career in music. He had some success, but his luck changed and now he needs a job. He not only finds a job but a romance with Joline, an Amish girl who has been a fan of his for years. Mark needs to search his heart in order to do the right thing but will Joline be part of his plans?

I enjoyed this novella which was a bit different than most Amish romances. It is short but actually takes place over a number of years and we get to see Mark and Joline develop as characters. Their romance was nicely done and not too rushed except maybe for a bit at the end. Still, I really enjoyed this story.

“The Christmas Gathering” is a nice collection of stories that are perfect to read during the holiday season.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley.

A good book of three great authors. I enjoyed this book, each story was written wonderful and sure to put you in the Christmas mood. I have read each of these authors before and always love their books, so it was great reading a book with the three together each writing their own story. Thank you to Netgalley for the chance to read this book.

I love a good Christmas gathering. In this book, we find three. Each of the these authors are a joy to read while the stories left me ready for the "magic" season. God's blessings abound as each story outlines forgiveness, understanding and miracles from the season. I received a copy through Netgalley. A review was not required.

This 3 novella collection centers around the Christmas holidays:

A Christmas Reunion by Shelley Shepard Gray--Tricia Troyer is excited to spend the Christmas reunion with her family and just as excited to see Brandt Holden. Their connection is obvious to everyone. However, they come from different worlds, with Brandt living as an Englisher and Tricia living in an Amish family. Can they find a way to bring their worlds together?

We Gather Together by Lenora Worth--When Lucas and Kayla meet on the shores of Lake Erie, they discover an old family fued. Their grandfathers once fought over the same woman, resulting in wounds that never healed. Lucas and Kayla decide to create opportunities where the families can interact, but it seems to just create a deeper divide. Will they succeed or will the family feud continue on to Lucas and Kayla as well?

Hitting All the Right Notes by Rachel J. Good--Four years after leaving the Amish for his music career, Mark returns to his hometown when the band manager disappears. Suddenly broke and homeless, Mark finds himself teaching music at a teen center where he runs into an old fan... who quickly becomes a new flame. However, Joline has a rebellious streak of her own and has a lot of growing up to do before entering a relationship. Can these two work through their past? Or will their old rebellion destroy their future?

All three novellas are clean, short, and heartfelt. They are brief for small chunks of time, making them an easy holiday read for the busy season. Characters are not fully developed, but that's to be expected with short stories. So going into this book with the right mindset is important. Readers do have to suspend some disbelief when it comes to the Amish elements of these stories. The Amish invididuals in these novellas are often unrealistically forward and outspoken. However, the second novella by Lenora Worth was definitely my favorite and seemed to be the most focused on the themes of holidays and romance. A quick holiday read for savoring the season.

*Disclaimer: I received a free copy of the book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

The Christmas Gathering is a collection of three novellas by three popular Amish fiction authors. Each story contains a story of hope and love at Christmas time. Follow three couples as they discover a new life and a new love. You will laugh and enjoy it. All three were sweet!

This set of three novellas is a great way to put yourself in the Christmas mood. They are sweet encouraging stories. Faith is a strong theme throughout demonstrating the strength of Amish families.
A Christmas Reunion, written by Shelley Shepard Gray is about an Amish family, the Troyers. They are unique in that they associate closely with non Amish friends, or Englishers. Mark Troyer invites his friend, an Englisher, Brandt, to spend Christmas with them. I had to forget what I know of the Amish that live in my area. My limited knowledge of the Amish is that they like to keep separate from the Englishers. The Troyers also have relatives who are Englishers. Brandt has discovered a new faith in God and his family has distanced themselves from him because of it. The closeness of Mark’s family and their acceptance of him brings him peace. Mark’s cousin, Tricia and Brandt develop a close friendship as they celebrate the season together. Will her family approve of their newfound relationship and will they be accepted?
The second novella is We Gather Together, by Lenora Worth. This story is about a large Amish family reunion held at an Inn owned by an Amish family. Lucas and his family are there for their family reunion while Kayla and her family are there for her sister’s wedding. Problems arise because of an old family feud between the two families. The two grandfathers courted the same girl. When she made her choice, the feud began between the one time friends. Kayla and Lucas try to bring the families together and their friendship grows. They both depend strongly on their faith in God. Can they overcome and resist being drawn into the feud?
Hitting all the Right Notes by Rachel J Good, is the third and last story of this collection. Mark, a young Amish boy, loves to listen to his English neighbors, the Musselmans, when they play their instruments and sing. As he grows older he helps Mrs. Musselman, now a widow, with various chores. Unknown to his parents, she gives him music lessons and he discovers he is very talented. Mark’s Amish friends are from the “wild” young men who don’t conform to all the rules. Some drive cars and have cell phones. They decide to form a band and call themselves, ”The Amish Rebels”
Joline is a young Amish woman who also is drawn to the English music. She comes from a large family and is responsible for looking after her siblings. She has made friends with some Englisher girls and they take her to hear Mark’s band. Mark’s parents find out about his activities and are shocked and disappointed. When he refuses to stop, they kick him out. He ends up staying at the center where Joline works. One by one, Mark’s friends decide to join the Amish church and drop out of the band. Joline fills in as a band member and their friendship grows. When it becomes clear that she will not give up singing, her family sends her to live with a relative. Will they find their way back to each other?
This is an easy and lighthearted collection.

A Christmas Reunion by Shelley Shepard Gray

Shelley Shepard Gray’s novella in The Christmas Gathering anthology is A Christmas Reunion. In A Christmas Reunion Englischer Brandt joins his Amish friend Mark for a Christmas gathering. Unbeknownst to most of the group, after meeting at last year’s Christmas gathering, Brandt and Mark’s cousin, Tricia (who is also Amish) have been writing each other for the last year. With each letter, Brandt and Tricia have gotten closer. Looking forward to reuniting at Christmas, Brandt and Tricia are using the gathering to consider taking their friendship to the next level so that they can be reunited forever.

Shelley Shepard Gray has become an instant go-to Author for me for anything she writes, especially when it comes to Christmas books. A Christmas Reunion is a sweet read. I loved meeting Brandt and Tricia! I thought it was an interesting twist that Brandt and Tricia had “secretly” been writing one another. I loved the other characters in the story as well–especially Uncle Abel and Aunt Annie. I loved the aspect of the Christmas Scavenger Hunt and how Uncle Abel and Aunt Annie created a new one every year. I want to do Uncle Abel and Aunt Annie’s Christmas Scavenger Hunt myself! A Christmas Reunion is a sweet story from beginning to end. While A Christmas Reunion was a complete story for The Christmas Gathering anthology, as a reader I was wanting more of Brandt and Tricia’s story–wanting more of a glimpse of how their friendship evolved during the letter writing phase and wanting to know what’s going to happen to their relationship after the story is over. Even though I want more of the story, it doesn’t take away from A Christmas Reunion being an excellent story and edition to The Christmas Gathering anthology.

We Gather Together by Lenora Worth

Lenora Worth has been on my TBR list for a long time and I’m thankful that I was finally able to read her work in The Christmas Gathering anthology by way of We Gather Together. We Gather Together tells the story of a long standing family feud between the Myer and Hollinger families. Unbeknownst to both families, the Hollinger’s scheduled a Christmas Wedding at the Shadow Lake Inn while the Myer’s Family scheduled a Family Reunion at the Shadow Lake Inn. When Kayla Hollinger and Lucas Myer meet, they each find a instant friend that slowly turns into something more. Lucas and Kayla know that their friendship cannot continue unless both families can forgive and trust. Teaming up, Lucas and Kayla come up with ideas to get their families together in hopes of reconciling.

I love We Gather Together by Lenora Worth from beginning to end! I love the family feud aspect to the story, because, to me, it gave Kayla and Lucas’ story a type of Romeo and Juliet spin to it. I love how the theme of forgiveness and trust and how important those attributes are are woven through out the story. I love how Kayla and Lucas did their best to follow what they believe God wanted them to do and follow God’s Word. I love meeting the King Sisters and their families (and I am looking forward to reading their stories). The King Sisters and other family members always seem to be around to offer sage advice and Godly Wisdom to Kayla and Lucas and help them out when they needed it. I love the powerful story and lesson of forgiveness and trust that We Gather Together gave The Christmas Gathering anthology.

Hitting All The Right Notes by Rachel J. Good

Rachel J. Good hits very unique notes with her contribution in The Christmas Gathering anthology with Hitting All The Right Notes. Hitting All The Right Notes is the story of Amish Rocker (yes, you read that right–Amish Rocker) Mark of the hit group Amish Rebels, a band that consists of young men that are on their Rumspringa before they decide to join their Amish Community, and Joline, a Amish Groupie who is the Amish Rebels No. 1 fan and has a musical gift herself. While the music the way the Amish Rebels create it went against Amish rules, singing in and of itself wasn’t bad–but putting it before God and what His Word says is. The Amish Rebels and Joline during this season of their lives, fail to see the heart of the matter until what they have held dear regarding music begins falling apart, causing them to see clearly what God meant for them all along.

Rachel J. Good’s plot in Hitting All The Right Notes was genius, not to mention very unique for the Amish Genre! I have never read a plot like it in Amish fiction before! I wasn’t sure what to expect from Hitting All The Right Notes and if I would consider it a full novella, but it exceeded my expectations. Hitting All The Right Notes covered a lot of ground for a novella to where it felt like it was a full fledge story at times. I love Mark as a character and my heart broke for him as he struggled with love for the music he made and the love he developed for God and his Amish Faith. With Mark’s struggles at the same time came Wisdom and Strength to do what he believed what God wanted him to do. I must admit at the beginning, when I met Joline, she got under my skin a little bit because, to me, Joline came across as very immature for her age and, later on, portrayed stalker-like tendencies when it came to Joline constantly trying to be around Mark. As Joline grew, I myself, grew to like her. I’m thankful that Joline opened up her heart to God and saw how she was coming across to others. I love how Joline and Mark saw what God was trying to show them in how to live and treat others and how the theme of honoring family and forgiving others was woven through out the story. Despite my hesitations with parts of the story, I love Hitting All The Right Notes and it’s characters–especially Ms. Vandenberg (read A Christmas Gathering to find out about her). Rachel J. Good’s Hitting All The Right Notes is a wonderful story in The Christmas Gathering anthology.

The Christmas Gathering (As A Whole)

I really enjoyed The Christmas Gathering from beginning to end! Shelley Shephard Gray, Leonora Worth, and Rachel J. Good each wrote a unique and wonderful story. I love the twists that the Authors brought to their stories and the Amish Genre. I love how each story is full of characters that are real, spunky, and have flaws. I love how each story brought out different Biblical Themes that we all learn and deal with in our lives–Trusting God for the Plans He has for us, Forgiveness, and Honoring Our Families. If you are looking for a fun Christmas read to read during the Season, then I highly recommend The Christmas Gathering by Shelley Shephard Gray, Leonora Worth, and Rachel J. Good! I cannot wait to see what these Authors create next!

Have you read The Christmas Gathering? What did you think of these stories?
