World War II has recently ended and Rose Yoder should have been married to Jonathan by now but he ashamed their community when he voluntarily joined the military as a medic, a decision that went against the Amish pacifist way of thinking. Rose wanted a good Amish life, not a worldly one. How could Jonathan have turned his back on her and their future? But perhaps the recurring nightmare Rose has had much of her life holds the secrets to the reason she has broken things off with Jonathan. Can Rose trust Jonathan with her heart and her secrets?Jonathan knew he couldn't stand the Englisch gazes and comments and stand by and do nothing when so many other men were giving their all for the war effort. Even though the war is over, the results of his choice and the war itself may be with him the rest of his life.
Tricia Goyer has woven an Amish tale of love, faith, sacrifice, and forgiveness that is set in one of the most magical times of year--the Christmas season. It is full of surprises with the twists and turns that will keep you guessing. For an enjoyable afternoon read, pick up the new novella, A Christmas Gift for Rose, for your own reading pleasure or as the perfect gift. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the story felt complete even though short.
I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I was in no way obligated to leave a positive review.
