Amish Christmas at North Star
On the November night of a record setting blizzard, Amish midwife Rebekah Schlabach delivered four babies in one night-three girls and one boy. When a young writer finds a 25 year newspaper article in his mom's attic retelling the story of "Rebekah Babies," he decides to track down Rebekah and all the adult children born on that night. It was a delightful turn of events when Chase and bumps into 25 year old Elle McAllister searching for her birth mother among the Amish Community of North Star. Guiding Star, Mourning Star, In the Stars, and Star of Grace-Four stories by four extraordinary writers connect the lives of the children born on that night. I love Amish stories and especially Cindy Woodsmall because there is no foul language and sexual content. Woodsmall takes special care to be authentic and accurate in her writing of the Amish. This heartwarming collection was so interesting because they were tied together by the Prologue and Epilogue written by Katie Ganshert.
