Christmas Wish

Amish novelist Linda Byler spins a heartwarming tale set in Amish country at Christmastime. 

Annie and Fannie are ten-year-old twins and the youngest of twelve siblings. Life is busy with so many living under the same roof, and though the twins love their family, they often feel overlooked. It's no fun being bossed around by older siblings and Mam is often stressed and always strict. As Christmas approaches, the twins have the added burden of practicing for their little Amish school's play, but what they're really passionate about is getting a pony or horse. Oh, what they would give to have a horse of their own to ride and groom and care for. It's all they can think about. Well, that and the way their thirty-year-old brother Mike is swooning over fancy Miriam. Will he ever get up the courage to ask her to be his girlfriend? 

Delightfully sweet and brimming with the details of Amish life, this Christmas tale will leave readers smiling over the simplicity of Amish culture and the complexities of families and romance that transcend every culture.

Author Linda Byler is an active member of the Amish church and writes all her novels by hand with a pen and notebook. She offers a unique and fascinating look into Amish history and culture.
