The Gift By Shelley Shepard Gray




New York Times Bestselling Author Shelley Shepard Gray gifts us with a special Christmas story about love and blessings in this next book in her Amish of Hart County series.
The Schwartz family is happy to be spending Christmas on their new farm in Hart County. But when Susanna Schwartz hears gunshots that causes her buggy to overturn, and then her little sister falls through a wooden bridge into the icy creek, it becomes clear from these dangerous “accidents” that someone wants them gone.
Neil Vance has been heartbroken ever since his parents lost their family farm. He knows it’s not the Schwartz family’s fault, but he can’t help but be resentful. Until he meets Susanna. She is kind-hearted and bold, and Neil can’t stop thinking about her pretty green eyes.
Neil thinks the accidents are just that, but Susanna’s father is convinced the Vance family is responsible. Susanna refuses to believe Neil would do anything to harm her. She’s fallen in love with him and knows he is a good man. But her family is ready to pack up and move, and time is running out to uncover the truth before someone gets hurt…or worse.

My Thoughts...
 
This is book 3 in The Hart of Amish County.
It's the perfect book for this time of year. You get the best of both worlds in this one book Amish and Christmas.
Romance, a little bit of a mystery, and Amish living. You can't go wrong.
 Now about the mystery, I can't wait for you readers to let me know what you think about who was behind all of these accidents. 
Gray, has out done herself on this series. Now this can be read as a stand alone but I really recommend the whole series. It's her best series to date. You won't be sorry.
I gave this book 5 stars. I HIGHLY recommend it.
The Mary Reader received this book from the publisher for review. A favorable review was not required and all views expressed are our own.
