I really enjoyed this Christmas trio of letters. In the Amish Communities, phones are used sparingly and thus letter writing is very important. I love the idea of circle letters, where each writer adds their own letter to the ones in the envelope and sends them in. These letters are from three cousins who all share the news of a new romance. All three of these stories involve a widower and children. One is only looking for a nanny, not romance; the second has had to sell his farm and rent from a young woman and her father who has suffered a stroke, and have moved into the Daddy house at the back of the property; and the last is a young woman who is conned into traveling to a neighbouring community to babysit 7 children while their parents run a growing cookie business, all the while being set up with their uncle.
I enjoyed these novellas a lot. The characters were developed as much as possible in a short story and they were all very likable, even the rather rude uncle in the last story. It was wonderful seeing the feelings develop even while some of the characters or their family were trying to deny they were there. The children were all adorable, even though some were a bit incorrigible. Overall a wonderful read around Christmas time. All three authors did a wonderful job of merging these letters together to form a great book. The publisher, Kensington Books, generously provided me with a copy of this book to read. The rating, opinions and ideas are my own.

What a great combination of Amish authors, and loved these novella, just the right length to pull me in, and keep my attention.
With a general theme and relationship between each of these authors tell their own story, and with enjoyable results.
What they have in common is a circle letter, before the phone was affordable families and friends used these, and I remember my Mother-In-Law looking for hers to come from her college friends.
By the time I finished this book I wanted to continue with these now mutual friends, and hope to reconnect with these characters in future books.
Of course, I wondered if Felty Jr with be with us again, miss my Annie Bananie.

I'm enamoured with anything Patrica Davids so when I saw her name on the cover of this Christmas novella collection I just had to have it! (And isn't that cover so cheery and inviting?) I also enjoyed becoming more familiar with Sarah Price and Jennifer Beckstrand's storytelling. Love that aspect of novella collections -- the chance to be dazzled by new-to-me (or in this case, fairly-new-to-me) authors. Each brings their own unique style to this collection.
Davids and Beckstrand told humourous tales that had me laughing out loud while Price's contribution had a more serious undertone with a kind of Taming of the Shrew retelling. They all kept me spellbound and Susan Boyce's narration of the audible edition was a delight to listen to.

The Amish Christmas Letters by Patricia Davids, Sarah Price and Jennifer Beckstrand contains three intertwined Amish stories. Marybeth’s Circle Letter by Patricia Davids takes us to Sugarcreek, Ohio in late November. Marybeth Martin and her cousin, Wilma Martin have a matchmaking contest every year for the last ten years. The loser of the contest must host Great Aunt Ingrid for her annual two week Christmas visit. Marybeth has until Christmas Eve to make a match and win the contest. She has decided to find a wife for newcomer, Josiah Weaver, a widower with a four year old daughter, Simone. Unfortunately, Josiah is only interested in a caregiver for his daughter and not a wife. Will Marybeth win her contest or get a great gift for Christmas?
Love Delivered by Sarah Price which takes readers to Shipshewana, Indiana. Katie Mae Kauffman has been caring for her ill father for the last eighteen months, but she cannot handle the farm as well. Nathanial Miller is a widower with four children and is losing his farm to the bank. Bishop Brenneman has come up with the perfect solution. Katie Mae and her father will occupy the Dawdi Haus while Nathanial and his brood move into the farmhouse and work the farm. Katie Mae’s peaceful life is soon full of noise and disruptions, but she notices that her father loves seeing the farm full of life and spending time with Nathanial’s daughter, Becky. The seeds have been sown, but will they blossom into love?
Sealed with a Kiss by Jennifer Beckstrand sends readers to Greenwood, Wisconsin. Carolyn Yutzy is currently caring for Abraham and Mary’s large brood of seven children while they manage their popular cookie shop. Amid chaos, Abraham’s brother, Aaron arrives who is quick to criticize Carolyn. The pair need to find a way to work together and help the children who desperately miss their parents. Anna Helmuth is hoping her latest matchmaking efforts will results in a marriage between this unlikely pair. Christmas is a time for miracles.
The Amish Christmas Letters contains three heartwarming and entertaining stories. I found them to be well-written and engaging. My favorite story is Sealed with a Kiss by Jennifer Beckstrand. This humorous tale will have you giggling, and Anna’s famous potholders make an appearance. All three stories start out with a circle letter as each cousin updates the others on what is happening in their lives. It is a unique form of communication in this digital age, but a wonderful way to write one letter to multiple people. I am giving The Amish Christmas Letters 4 out of 5 stars. All three stories have romance, humor and holiday charm. Cuddle up in a chair with a warm blanket and read the three uplifting stories The Amish Christmas Letters.

In this collection there are three cousins have a circle letter going around between them as they are scattered across the country. Each cousin adds to the circle letter after reading what the other two cousins have written. The cousins have a friendly matchmaking competition going on amongst them. However will they matchmaking competition be turned onto themselves this time?
Readers are going to have to read the collection to find out what happens!
Each author wrote about a different cousin in a novella-a short story- and a few of other characters make a cross reference in the other novellas. Exchanged letters and storytelling make up the storyline for each novella.
I loved this novella collection by these three authors. This writing style hasn't been done in before in a novella collection; don't let that discourage you from reading this collection because the exchanged letters and storytelling make for an easy reading.
I received a free copy from NetGalley. The only request was for me to leave an honest review about the book.

THE AMISH CHRISTMAS LETTERS consists of three wonderful novellas –MARYBETH’S CIRCLE LETTER by Patricia Davids, LOVE DELIVERED by Sarah Price, and SEALED WITH A KISS by Jennifer Bechstrand. All three have the common thread of the Amish circle letters written between cousins as a way to updated with events in each other’s life.
MARYBETH’S CIRCLE LETTER is the story of Marybeth Martin, 32 and unwed, who considers herself well on the way to being an old maid which she is at peace with.
Who is the better matchmaker – Marybeth or her cousin Wilma? Their friendly competition is how they decide who “entertains” Great Aunt Ingrid during her holidays visit to Sugarcreek enduring her dreadful fruitcakes.
Marybeth takes notice of Josiah Weaver, a widow still recovering from an accident with a young daughter, Simone, to tend to, in the grocery store. She thinks he could be the one to save her from Great Aunt Ingrid. However, she finds Josiah closed to the idea of a new wife, but he does need a nanny for three weeks to enable him to start a new job. A bargain is struck – free nanny service for three weeks provided he goes out once with a woman of her choice for the evening. They shake hands and the deal is sealed.
Are they both going to get more than they bargained for in this deal? Can Marybeth find just the right woman for Josiah or will she be her own competition? Can Josiah welcome another woman into his life or finally see the true woman in front of him? Can farm animals help make a piece of property a farm and heal a little girl’s heart in the process? Can one little girl be the glue that intertwines three hearts into one happy family? Where will Great Aunt Ingrid spend her time in Sugarcreek?
LOVE DELIVERED is the story of Katie Mae Kauffman although young she has had her share of hardships. She helped care for her ailing mother until her death. Then it was up to just her father to keep the farm going. After her father suffers a stroke and is confined to a wheelchair unable to communicate, it’s all on Marybeth’s shoulders – caregiver, maintaining a home and trying to keep the farm up. As much as she tried, she seemed to be slipping further behind with each passing day.
In steps Bishop Brenneman with his solution for not only her problems but those of another church member who is having a hard financial time. Katie and her father are to move into the dawdihause and rent out the main house to Nathanial Miller and his seven children while he does maintenance around the place and works the farm. In his opinion, a win/win for everyone. Katie is devastated, both for the move out of her family home but also because she doesn’t think highly of her neighbor. However, she knows there is no going against the Bishops request.
Katie Mae is determine to stay detached and she’s sure not going to be watching his children. Little Becky’s sweet lisp and enduring ways of bringing Abraham out of his shell works to melt her resolve and wiggle into her heart.
Can Katie Mae and Nathanial get past their preconceived notions of the other and learn about the true person? Will Abraham get the physical therapy he needs when the church says they don’t have the funds at present? Will Becky’s Christmas prayer come true?
SEALED WITH A KISS is the story of Carolyn Yutzy who goes to Greenwood, Wisconsin for six months at the request of Anna Helmuth to be the babysitter for her grandson’s seven children while the parents work trying to establish their new cookie business here at Christmas time.
The problem is the kids feel neglected by their parents, don’t want a babysitter and will do just about anything to bring attention to themselves. After all bad attention is better than no attention right? Carolyn has the patience of an angel determined to not let their antics get to her and try to show them that she’s there to help them and not to replace their parents.
In steps Aaron, a confirmed bachelor and the kid’s uncle, who thinks Carolyn is the worst choice in the world to be taking care of his little relatives. She messy and undisciplined allowing the kids to be unruly. No wonder she’s not married. In turn, Carolyn can hardly stand to be in the same room with Mr. Know It All Aaron who is so full of himself that there’s no wonder there’s no room for a Mrs. in Aaron’s life.
Will time and events show the true facts of who Carolyn and Aaron are to each other? Can Carolyn make Aaron laugh, realize that a little dirt never hurt anyone and what he’s missing in his life? Can Carolyn see Aaron through new eyes for the dependable, gentle, caring man he really is? Will a near tragedy bring them even closer together or will a misunderstanding drive them further apart?
The three authors that contributed to THE AMISH CHRISTMAS LETTERS managed to write three completely different stories but at the same time made one story morph into the next so smoothly you didn’t notice it wasn’t all the same writer. I loved learning about circle letters and how they work and loved how they worked into the three novellas. I would highly recommend this Christmas story for any time of the year reading to anyone that loves not only the Amish genre, but loves well written stories with heart.

The three novellas in The Amish Christmas Letters center on the primary characters being cousins in each tale and writing circle letters to one another. Each novella is filled with laughter, tears, romance and some adorable children that made each story.
Patricia Davids penned Marybeth’s Circle Letter that explored the contest she had with her cousin Wilma in being a matchmaker. Marybeth taking a job as a nanny so she made another match before Christmas may just be the best match ever.
Loved Delivered by Sarah Price brought Katie Mae Kauffman and Nathaniel Miller being given a proposal about their farms by the bishop. Katie caring for her father, a stroke survivor, and a farm needed some renewal life to it. Will a small child brightened Abraham Kauffman’s life?
Sealed With a Kiss by Jennifer Beckstrand has young Carolyn Yutzy’s caring for children who’s parents are to busy working to see to their needs. Anna and Felty grandson, Aaron misunderstanding of them sending Carolyn to Greenwood to help his brother caused a lot of remarks that were hurtful. Who’s going to see the light first—Abraham, Aaron, Carolyn or Anna and Felty?
This collection of novellas is perfect to read during the busy Christmas season.

Usually when I read a collection of novellas by different authors, one stands out from the rest. But in this collection, all were equally well written, quite enjoyable, and tied together for a cohesive novel. All three involved Amish women, called upon to care for children who needed extra understanding and care. Some had experienced loss in their young lives; others were feeling neglected and unloved. How each of these women solved the problems of their young charges and found some romance along the way is wrapped up like a Christmas gift in this lovely collection. I also liked the way author Jennifer Beckstrand brought in characters from her other novels. It was nice seeing them again! I haven’t read enough of the other authors’ work to know if they did the same thing, but I intend to delve into their works to find out. Recommended for readers of Amish fiction.

The first story with Marybeth had to be my favourite out of the three. The other two were okay. I did enjoy the letter writing part as l like to send letters and cards myself. Nothing beats something hand written to cheer up someone's day l feel.

The Amish Christmas Letters is a heartfelt Amish anthology that swept me off my feet. I loved the characters.
Marybeth is a single Amish woman trying to win a bet from her cousin. The loser has to house their mean relative. Only this bet ends up leaving Marybeth falling deep in love with the man she's helping. As she works as a nanny, Marybeth gets to know the man she's setting up...maybe, she will end up winning the Christmas met in more ways than expected. The man she's trying to set up with a date, is strongly against marriage. But spending more time with Marybeth, the idea of marriage starts to look better. Then, there's her cousin Katie.
Katie is a young unmarried Amish woman. Her father had a stroke and that left everything up to Katie to do. Doing women's work in the house and keeping up with the farm, proves to be more than Katie can handle. Her Bishop notices it and sets a plan in motion. Little does Katie, her father, and the man with his kids know, but all of them will end up helping each other. At first, their resist the help and each other. But with a little more time, they each start to see the other one in a new light. From sassy and strong willed to becoming more than friends, these two were fun to follow.
Last, there was Carolyn. She was blindsided into babysitting for seven unruly kids. This one touched my heart even more so. The kids were misbehaving constantly, yet as soon as the parents entered into the scene, it was easy to see why. The children wanted their parents' attention. Neither parent was giving their kids any attention. Their mother ignored their bad behavior. Their father refused to believe his kids were being bad. Both parents were to blame. At first, the children's uncle thought it was Carolyn's fault. Thinking she was a bad babysitter, the uncle tried to get her fired. But he was wrong. Carolyn gave the kids more attention and love than their own parents. Soon or later, the parents would have to do something...In the meantime, Carolyn and their uncle keep bonding over the mishaps. Maybe, they will get their Christmas gift after all.
Overall, these three stories were sweet. I couldn't stop reading them. The plots were fast. Plenty of action, intrigue, and romance to keep me interested. Themes such as faith, family, and love were shown. Obedience and respect were other lessons in this Amish journey. I recommend this collection to all readers.

The Amish Christmas Letters is a great collection of three short stores set around Christmas. The three cousins are writing a circle letter between them, telling their own Christmas time adventures. I really loved how all three authors kept the stories true to their writings while encompassing them into one corresponding letter.
In Marybeth’s Circle Letter by Patricia Davids, Marybeth and her cousin have along standing bet that they can matchmake better. This leads to the end of year loser having to host their aunt. Marybeth is afraid that this year she will lose, and she hates nothing less than the thought of her aunt. She concocts a plan to offer nanny services to Josiah in return he will go on a date with the lady of her choice. Josiah doesn’t like the agreement, but he desperately needs help and he reluctantly agrees. This was a very sweet story about finding love in unexpected places.
In Love Delivered by Sarah Price, Katie Mae has been caring for her ill father and trying to keep the farm afloat. Her neighbor, Nathaniel Miller, has been struggling as well since the loss of his wife and the bishop thinks that he has the solution to both their problems. When Nathaniel and his children rent the main house and help with the farm, Katie Mae doesn’t know if she can stomach it, but God knows what we need even when we can not see it. This was a great story about healing.
In Sealed with a Kiss by Jennifer Beckstrand, cousin Carolyn has taken a job as a nanny on the recommendation of our favorite matchmakers, Anna and Felty Helmuth. While Carolyn is struggling to make sure the children are taken care of while their parents are overworked and stretched too thin, the children’s uncle Aaron shows up. Aaron, who seems like he might be textbook OCD, thinks he knows what is best. When the two pair up to take care of the children, maybe Anna and Felty are going to get what they planned. However, when disaster strikes, can they have a happy Christmas after all. This was possibly my favorite but simply because I love Anna and Felty and anything that they have their hands into.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from netgalley.com and Kensington Books in return for my honest opinion. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Marybeth is afraid that this year she will lose, and she hates nothing less than the thought of her aunt. She concocts a plan to offer nanny services to Josiah in return he will go on a date with the lady of her choice. Josiah doesn’t like the agreement, but he desperately needs help and he reluctantly agrees. This was a very sweet story about finding love in unexpected places.
In Love Delivered by Sarah Price, Katie Mae has been caring for her ill father and trying to keep the farm afloat. Her neighbor, Nathaniel Miller, has been struggling as well since the loss of his wife and the bishop thinks that he has the solution to both their problems. When Nathaniel and his children rent the main house and help with the farm, Katie Mae doesn’t know if she can stomach it, but God knows what we need even when we can not see it. This was a great story about healing.
In Sealed with a Kiss by Jennifer Beckstrand, cousin Carolyn has taken a job as a nanny on the recommendation of our favorite matchmakers, Anna and Felty Helmuth. While Carolyn is struggling to make sure the children are taken care of while their parents are overworked and stretched too thin, the children’s uncle Aaron shows up. Aaron, who seems like he might be textbook OCD, thinks he knows what is best. When the two pair up to take care of the children, maybe Anna and Felty are going to get what they planned. However, when disaster strikes, can they have a happy Christmas after all. This was possibly my favorite but simply because I love Anna and Felty and anything that they have their hands into.

The Amish Christmas Letters is a collective effort by Patricia Davids, Sarah Price, and Jennifer Beckstrand. Each one of these novellas shows the unique writing styles of each of the authors. I enjoyed each novella very much. Each story held a connection to the others.
Marybeth's Circle Letter written by Patricia Davids is so very heartwarming. I could feel the joy of Simone each time Marybeth brought a new animal for her enjoymet. The journey to Simone's heart and her trust was very long but Marybeth doesn't abandon the quest. The journey to Josiah's heart was also a difficult one but Marybeth wasn't headed in that direction. The author has done an amazing job with her characters and the plot to this story. This is a wondetful story at anytime of the year not just Christmas.
Love Delivered is an amazing love stiry written by Sarah Price. When two people who are indifferent to each other are thrown together there is all kinds of turmoil. Travel this road with them to see just how they overcome their differences. I really enjoyed the relationship between Abraham and Becky. It was heartwarming to watch threir relatioship grow. The author has doe a woderful job showing us howto overcome wrongs and build great friendships no matterthe age.
Sealed witha Kiss is a turmoil filled story written by Jenifer Beckstrand. My heart went out to Carolyn from the first chapter. She was not only up against a tribe of uncontrollable children but also a nosey, bosdy uncle. Her journey never gets better or so it seems. The author has delivered another amazing story filled with love, anguish, tolerance, and strong faith. I was in stitches at times, tears at other, and happy at the end.
Each of these novellas has a hidden meaning but I am sure you will figure them out. This book is a great collection of Christmas stories but I think they could be read at anytime.
Congratulations to all three authors for their amazing contribution to this book. I highly recommend it to everyone. Iwas not given a complimentary copy of this book to read and review. I was not approached by anyone to post a favorable review. I do wish I could have posted seperate reviews for each story so I could give each author a grwat review of their own.

In this collection of three stories from three wonderful writers of the Amish romance genre we meet Marybeth Martin in Marybeth's Circle Letter. In order not to host her Great Aunt Ingrid she must match one more couple before Christmas. Her target is Josiah Weaver, a widower who is in need of a nanny but can that person also be his next love? In Love Delivered by Sarah Price we meet Katie Mae and her father who is wheelchair bound. Due to the unfortunate circumstances their farm is suffering. The bishop has a plan but will Katie Mae accept the help? In Sealed with a Kiss by Jennifer Beckstrand we get to catch up with Anna and Felty from her Huckleberry Hill series. Anna has sent Carolyn to be a babysitter for a large family that is too busy to see to the needs of their children. Will Carolyn fall in love with their uncle or will she run away in frustration?
All three stories start out with a letter known as a circle letter. Person A writes a letter to all and mails it to person B. Person B reads letter A, writes letter B and sends letters A and B to person C. The letters continue until it gets back to the original person who takes out the old letter of theirs and repeats. What an interesting way to communicate not involving electronic communication. I still believe old fashioned letters are the best kind.
This is the perfect book for a cold winter's night of reading in anticipation to Christmas. The stories are romantic and sometimes full of laughter. You will find yourself immersed in the beauty of the Amish and cheering each woman on in her quest for fulfillment.

MARYBETH’S CIRCLE LETTER: Marybeth needs to match a couple before Christmas in order to win a competition. The only man in the running wants a nanny, not a wife, until his daughter shows him what he’s missing.
LOVE DELIVERED: Can a farmer’s daughter struggling to stay afloat and a widower with four children and problems of his own each set aside their pride and come together to the benefit of their families?
SEALED WITH A KISS: A babysitter to seven unruly children is surprised to find sparks flying with their uncle. Could he be the Christmas gift she wasn’t expecting?
I enjoyed THE AMISH CHRISTMAS LETTERS, a collection of three novellas. The first was my favorite, followed by the second. I was least fond of the last one and felt like it didn’t vibe well with the others. I loved the connection of letter writing throughout the book. I wrote many letters to family and pen pals when I was younger. The book made me feel very nostalgic about this. Unfortunately, over the years, I lost much of that practice and transitioned to briefer notes in cards for birthdays and holidays rather than multipage letters that weren’t prompted by a special occasion. This book has motivated me to get back to that as it’s so nice to receive a handwritten letter. I liked the writing of THE AMISH CHRISTMAS LETTERS and was satisfied by each novella’s heartwarming ending.
I’d recommend THE AMISH CHRISTMAS LETTERS to fans of Amish stories or those looking for a heartwarming holiday read.

So overall it was okay. I like how each story is connected because each of the main charcters are part of a circle (chain) letter. One thing I didn't like was each story involved a woman taking care of kid(s). Normally I don't mind that. But change it up a bit. One story can be a babysitter and father. Another how about a pen pal romance, etc.
Marybeth's Circle Letter 4 stars
This was my favorite of the three. I read it at a time I really needed it. And the epilogue was great!
Love Delivered 3 stars
At first I wasn't interested in this one but it did get better. Some things weren't explained though. Also letters weren't a part of the story. You got one in the beginning and that was it. This was the one I most looked forward to because Sarah Price is one of my favorite Amish fiction authors and it just didn't live up to what I know she writes.
Sealed With a Kiss 2 stars
The biggest disappointment of the three. I like this author too. I didn't find it realistic. The story was just stressful.

THE AMISH CHRISTMAS LETTERS
Patricia David’s. "Marybeth’s. Circle Letters "
Circle letters was a nice way of staying in touch, but also that they each got the same news, was so important. Marybeth feels it was a God given talent to be a matchmaker. A contest till Christmas Eve between her and Wilma who would win. Surprising of who the match turned out to be, delightful.
Sarah Price. "Love Delivered"
Bishop telling Katie she can’t continue caring for her invalid Dad. The land would take care of a family, that is now in despair. To Nathaniel with four children, and Katie and her Dad would be living in the grandparents house. Drastic measure for both, they can’t seem to say anything to one another without it seeming like insults. What was the Bishop thinking, a terrible
arrangement, and with the children, in a new place.
Jennifer Beckstrand. Sealed With A Kiss
Carolyn offered to stay for six months, what was she thinking of. Those nine year old twin boys were a natural disaster. Uncle Aaron, comes in, and saying she doesn’t know how to babysit. Was Anna thinking something else when she suggest that she go and help Abraham and Mary’s kids. Natural disaster, were funny, but the clean up wasn’t.
A delightful, heartwarming set of three stories readers will want to read.

Three wonderful (long) novellas:
1) "Marybeth's Circle Letter" by Patricia Davids.
In one of her circle letters, Marybeth writes, "It always amazes me how men can say one thing and mean another." I chuckled out loud when I read this.
2) "Love Delivered" by Sarah Price.
My quote from this one is "There is nothing better than the feeling of annoying an annoying person." I admitted to myself that this is true.
3) "Sealed with a Kiss" by Jennifer Beckstrand. There wasn't a specific quote that I highlighted by I love Jennifer's books and writing style.
So what does it take to get 5 stars on three-book package:
1) No errors. No typos.
2) No "maybe I better re-read that. It didn't make sense."
3) Great characters that engage you and make you WANT to turn the page.
4) Descriptive settings.
5) Good writing without being repetitive.
6) Good Beta Readers followed by good editors.
While these stories are based during Christmas, this is such a good set of them that you can go ahead -- read it now. And then RE-READ at Christmas. BTW, I read all three within a few days. I had other things to do and didn't KNOW I was going to lose the two weeks before Christmas to illness.

I enjoyed reading each novella in this book! It certainly put me into the Christmas spirit. Marybeth, Katie Mae and Carolyn, cousins who live in different parts of the country, each have their own love story, and they share their experiences through each story by writing letters to one another and their friends as well. I love how family and children are important parts of each story, and how each woman, in her own way, discover the struggles and triumphs of taking care of someone else's children. Each woman discovers love along the way, though the journey to their happily ever after was full of many obstacles, through their faith in God, they were able to over come the trials and find happiness. I love the idea of Amish Circle Letters, in that you always get news from home or wherever your family lives. With my family spread throughout the country and other countries, it would be a wonderful way to keep in touch, especially with love ones who don't use social media. This book would make a very nice Christmas gift!

I have read literally dozens of these Amish Romance novella collections. In spite of the fact that they are always pretty predictable, and you can always count on Happily Ever After for all, I enjoy the storytelling in these kinds of stories. If they have good —preferably original—plots and the storytelling is good, I usually enjoy them. The Audible version was fairly well done although the narrator made all the Amish folks sound like they had Irish accents. (My husband and I were both listening, and arrived at that conclusion independent of one another.) I do kind of wish that some of the authors would not use characters from their own series in these collections because it makes me confused with where the stories fit in relation to the series. I haven’t read the “Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill” series, but I had just purchased the whole series on Kindle and Audible, and so I wasn’t sure I was happy about the characters of Anna and Felty being included in the 3rd story. Still the story was good.

Three Amish women in danger of becoming old maids write circular letters among themselves. One live in Indiana, one in Ohio, and the third in Wisconsin.
Marybeth likes to play matchmakers and she has added incentive to make a match before Christmas. If she doesn’t, she’ll have to host cantankerous Aunt Ingrid. Marybeth just doesn’t anticipate falling for her victim.
Katie Mae isn’t doing well at taking care of her stroke-stricken father and running the farm by herself. Her bishop prompts her to rent the farm to that awful Nathaniel Miller. Turns out, he’s not so bad, and his little girl works miracles with Katie Mae’s dad.
Yes, Carolyn wanted adventure, but babysitting seven children who want their parents, not her, is too much. The children’s uncle has firm ideas about cleanliness and diet, and thinks Carolyn is a terrible babysitter. Carolyn ends up teaching him a few things about life.
These three novellas are sure to bring smiles to your day.

The Amish Christmas Letters Book was amazing! Has three different stories,that intertwine I could hardly pull my self away to get anything done It was that good. It is about families staying connected through letter writings, telling everyone what they are doing in their daily life. the good and the bad. It made me cry , laugh and feel for these characters and what they were going through. It is about helping others in their time of need. it is about families. The stories are Marybeth's Circle Letter by Patricia Davids, Love Delivered by Sarah Price and Sealed with a Kiss by Jennifer Beckstrand. It also had some match making involved. I was able to get this from the Library . Now I want to buy it when I can afford too. Thank you so much ladies for sharing your talents with us in writing these Amish books.

The Amish communication system is great. I had not thought about circle letters until this book. 3 cousins who are all unmarried Marybeth, Katie Mae and Carolyn. Each is put in a position of meeting a man who may frustrate them but eventually turns into something more. They are all faced with challenges that they didn't think they needed someone. The Men all will find they have great women. At the end of each Novella they update the letters with all the current events of each woman. I have a large family and this makes me want to do this with my grandchildren just for the experience of teaching them to write letters. Thank you ladies for such a sweet book. I received this book as an ARC from net galley for my honest review

A little something for everyone in this sweet Amish Christmas book.
It's sure to get you in the Christmas mood and can be read in all Christmas futures!
I love the Amish way of doing things and that includes letter writing. I'm amazed at how fast word travels through the Amish grapevine so to speak.
We seldom write letters in today's world since technology is much faster of course!! But I like to think it's the thought behind the letter writing or card sending that counts.
There were some scenes in this book that made me laugh out loud!! I love when a book can do that!
This book was so delightful that I couldn't put it down I truly enjoyed this and I'm recommending it
My thanks to Netgalley. NO compensations were received and all opinions are my own.

This book was composed of 3 stories that were told via a circle letter. Circle letters are explained at the end of the book. For the Amish, one starts a letter, sends it to the next person, who reads and then adds a letter of their before sending to the third. When the letter returns to the first person, the original letter is replaced with a new one. This permits multiple members of the community to keep up with the news of others. The stories themselves are always sweet but predictable with a love story theme. Good escape read.

This book has three novellas set in different Amish communities that are connected by the main characters who have a circle letter. Circle letters are a way for family to stay in touch in the Amish community. One person writes a letter and sends it to the next who writes another letter, and so on. The main theme in these stories are young women helping widowers who then fall in love. I especially liked the first story. The daughter didn’t speak at first and it reminded me a bit of the movie Corrina, Corrina. A quick and easy read by some well known Amish authors. Recommended for teens and above.

I requested a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley because I never want to miss a chance to visit Jennifer Beckstrand's fabulous characters, Anna and Felty Helmuth. While they weren't in this one very much, it was enough, and I enjoyed reading another hilarious result of Anna's crazy matchmaking attempts. I also really enjoyed learning about the idea of Amish circle letters from this collection. I think it's such a cool idea, and it was a very clever way for these authors to connect these three novellas.
