2.5 Stars for this Amish audio book.

[Pamela Pavkov · Rating 5 out of 5]

One Child is a sweet story of offering kindness to strangers written by Barbara Cameron. The author truly tugs at the readers heartstrings in this story. The characters are very likeable and realistic. I enjoyed this story for so many reasons.

When a young English couple finds themselves stranded in a snow storm they seek shelter from an Amish couple. The English couple are expecting their first child and are very excited. Sarah and David offer shelter to this couple but they bring back sad memories of the loss of their baby a year earlier. When events causes the young woman to go into labor Sarah is forced to deliver the baby. The emotions really come forward but Sarah and David's strong faith helps them through. What happens next is truly a gift from God.

I was not given a complimentary copy of this book to read and review. I was not approached to post a favorable response. I have rated this story with five stars for meeting my expectations of a wonderful story. All opinions are my own. I highly recommend this story.

Congratulations to Barbara Cameron on writing this inspiring story for her readers enjoyment.

Do not worry, have faith in God's plans for you. What will happen, will happen and God will see you through.

Be happy with what you have as it is all a gift from God.

Sarah and David have become two of my favorite Amish characters. Hope to see them again.

An English man and woman, pregnant with their first child, become stranded in a snow storm and seek refuge at the nearest Amish house. Sarah, who miscarried last year, and her husband David, take the strangers in, and it is quickly apparent the two couples live in different worlds. Things quickly become harried when the young woman goes into labor and Sarah must deliver the child, a child she wanted so badly.

I have never been pregnant, much less miscarried, so while I have never experienced it, I imagine its devastating to recover from, not that you forget, just move past it sort of speak. Well that is what Sarah is trying to do, as well as her husband David, when they get trapped during a snow storm, with a man and his pregnant wife...what happens is a miracle for both couples.

This book really reminded me to step back and enjoy the simple things in life. Sometimes us "Englishers" become too involved in things that truly don't matter . Time to put away the electronics and enjoy human interactions
