A Christmas Gift for Rose by Tricia Goyer
Zondervan | September 24, 2013
About the Book
Born in the midst of the hardships of The Great Depression, Rose grew up in Berlin, Ohio, in the arms of a loving Amish family. But she is overwhelmed by self-doubt when she learns the truth of her birth. She was born Englisch and abandoned when her family moved West in search of work.
Was she meant to be Amish or would she have been better off growing up with her own kind—Englischers? And was her intended's gift of discovering her birth family given out of love or fear?
Inspired by a true story, A Christmas Gift for Rose is a heartwarming novella of sacrifice and deep love.
Why I Can't Wait to Read It
I'm a huge fan of Tricia Goyer. In fact, her Amish novels were some of the first I ever read and the ones that finally convinced me that there were at least a few Amish stories that I would enjoy. :) I'm looking forward to reading her latest and love that it's inspired by a true story!
