A Haven For Christmas by Patricia Davids Review

 Hello Friends :)

I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you probably already know how much I love Amish fiction. It continues to be one of my all time favorite genres, and I'm always excited to get to dive into new stories within this genre.

A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of getting to read an Amish Christmas story by a new to me author, and today I can't wait to tell you guys all about it.

Keep reading for my full review.

A Haven for Christmas by Patricia Davids:



Source: Gift From My Hubby

Publisher: Love Inspired

Publication Date: November 1st, 2020

Genre: Christian Fiction/Amish Fiction

Series: North Country Amish


Synopsis:

An Amish widow. An Englisch cowboy. And a Christmas to remember.

An accident landing an Englischer on Becca Beachy's farm isn't quite the peaceful Christmas she expected. But with the widow struggling after an emergency, Tully Lange's help is a blessing. Now Becca's determined to give the cowboy a true Amish Christmas. But even as she falls for him, she knows their love is forbidden. Will this be the start of forever or the beginning of goodbye?

My Review:

This was my first experience with a novel by Patricia Davids, and I can guarantee it won't be my last. I truly adore Amish fiction, and I love finding new to me authors within this genre. A Haven For Christmas is a beautiful, heartwarming story about grace, faith and redemption, and it's exactly what I hope for whenever I pick up a novel about the Amish culture.

I really enjoyed how this one is about an Englischer who's struggling to find himself after being released from rehab, and ends up offering to give a struggling Amish widow and her family a hand on their dairy farm when he stumbles upon them by chance. It's a really unique plotline, and it kept me engaged entirely throughout.

Tully and Becca's story is swoon worthy, heartwarming, and faith filled, and is definitely a new favorite. I loved the emphasis on trusting God, even when it seems impossible to do so, and the lessons learned that only He can make all things work for our own good.

Final Rating: 4/5.

I truly adored this one, and I hope to read more titles in this series in the very near future.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...
