A Simple Christmas Wish By Melody Carlson GIVEAWAY!

Rachel Milligan is caring for her seven-year-old niece, Holly, at her home in Chicago when she receives devastating news: Holly's parents have been killed in a plane crash. Because Rachel is Holly's only known relative, she assumes that she will be her beloved niece's guardian. However, custody is awarded to Lydia, a distant aunt who happens to be Amish. Just a week before Christmas, Rachel takes Holly to the Amish community in the hopes of persuading Aunt Lydia to relinquish custody. Instead, Lydia sets out to teach Holly to live according to the Amish way. As family secrets emerge and old wounds are healed, Rachel realizes that she will do whatever it takes to ensure that Holly has the loving family she needs.

Combining an Amish family saga with the anticipation of Christmas cheer and the promise of a budding romance, this newest Christmas story from beloved author Melody Carlson is sure to please.

I have read all of Melody's Christmas books so I could not wait for this one.

In my opinion this is by far the best, not sure if it is because Amish books are my favorite or if it has the best ending. I could not put this book down I loved little Holly to death and her Aunt Rachel was the greatest.

You do not want to miss this fantastic Christmas book.

I gave this book 5 stars and I highly recommend this book.

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.
