Naomi has begun to believe that she isn’t meant to find love, but she might receive more than she has ever hoped for this Christmas.
Twenty-four-year-old Naomi King has all but given up on marriage and children. As Christmas approaches, Naomi is certain that her life will be spent as an old maid, helping with the family’s quilting business and taking care of her eight siblings. Then she meets Caleb, a young widower with a 7-year-old daughter, and her world is once again turned upside-down.

Ever since she practically threw herself at two young bachelors in her Amish community of Bird-in-Hand, PA, 24-year-old Naomi King has sworn off getting married. When a sad young girl shows up at her mother's quilting booth, Naomi aches to help her, even more so when the girl's widowed father appears with that same sad look. Caleb has returned home for the first time in many years and finds himself attracted to the young woman his daughter finds so appealing. But is Naomi willing to try love again? VERDICT This novella is full of warmth and love, just what you want at Christmastime. Fans of Clipston's "Kauffman Amish Bakery" series will enjoy getting reacquainted with favorite characters. Fans of Beverly Lewis and Wanda E. Brunstetter will also find this title delightful.
