Summary:
Christmas Eve baby: It's a Christmas Eve to remember when a laboring mother-to-be shows up at the King sisters' Shadow Lake Inn amid a snowstorm. Midwife Sarah King and her three daughters go into action, while the men of the family search for the woman's husband. And with faithful hearts and helping hands, this magical night may unite a brand-new family just in time to share a Christmas blessing. Best Christmas Program Ever: On Emily Flaud's second day of work at the Green Valley Farmer's Market, two hungry children in tattered clothes snitch some cheese samples--and Emily's heart. Her co-worker, Hosea King, is less beguiled. He is still grieving the loss of his wife and daughter two years before, especially as Christmas approaches. But when the children are in need of adoption, Emily longs to become their mother--in a prayer that includes Hosea . . . Loving Luke: Wanted: Amish Mail Order Groom. Must be excellent with kinner. Recently widowed, Grace Fisher must be practical. She has a general store to run and needs a gentle man to help raise her kinner. But when Luke King appears, Grace sees a scruffy man who looks far from husband material, while Luke sees a woman who deserves better than he. Yet with faith, each may gain the courage to see beneath the surface--and create a family for many Christmases to come . . .
