I thought this book might be a little juvenile, but it wasn't. A quick read, this is more of a novella than the typical longer length novel. But it tells a full story without dragging things out. Well balanced.

I enjoyed this book from the moment I started reading it until I finished the last page. I've read several books about the Amish and this one is another one that helps me to strengthen my faith in God.

Sarah Beachy is at a crossroads in her life, hanging on to her childhood as she's unsure about the responsibilities of entering the adult world. She's witnessed the hurt that her mother has experienced in losing her older brother to the English world, and this has made her cautious about becoming a wife and mother. But Adam Troyer is desperate to get married and can't understand why his beau is happy to remain at in her parents' home, working at the local inn. So both Sarah's family and Adam are worried when she sets off to Cleveland to visit her older brother and decide whether the life of an Amish mother and wife is best for her. But Sarah soon discovers that life in the city isn't as rosy as her brother made it sound, and her journey makes her realise what she really wants in life.
This was the perfect Christmas novella; the return of a prodigal son mixed with the coming of age of a young woman. It only took me a few hours to read this book but it really warmed my heart and put me in the Christmas mood. Ellis crafted her characters wonderfully and I loved reading about Sarah and her family, as well as the other members of the community and the English couple who run the local inn. All of these characters were entirely believable and Fredericksburg sounds like a lovely place to live. I appreciated all the little details about the Amish way of life, from descriptions of the cookies that they were baking to the school performance on Christmas Eve. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a short Christmas story to put a smile on your face. As it's only 134 pages long this would also be perfect for someone wanting to try Amish fiction for the first time, or for a girl in her early teen years. This is the first book I've read from Mary Ellis but I'll definitely be looking out for more of her books as she's clearly the cream of the crop when it comes to Amish fiction!

This short and simple tale is quite inspiring as it reveals the power of love between family members, and the obstacles that love can overcome. Sometimes it takes awhile, but steadfast love and faith will almost always prevail. Sarah's faith in her brother, and her faith that God would present himself to Caleb, tells a heartwarming tale.

Another great amish story by this author. We should all have this much compassion for our family members and each other. I enjoyed reading about Sarah and highly recommend this and any other books by Mary Ellis.

Mary's heart warming story, touches the readers heart. Those of us who live in the heart of Ohio's Amish Country and understand the culture, know that the scenario depicted in this book is VERY REAL.
This is a lovely Christmas Story that will touch the reader and give a deeper understanding to the issue facing Amish youth in today's world.

Review 17 for Sarah's Christmas Miracle
Overall Rating:
Date:August 13, 2010
This story kept my interest until the end. I am not a huge Amish fiction fan, but if the story is interesting enough it will hold my attention. This story was sweet and had some strong redemption themes. It wasn't much different in plot than most Amish novels, but it was unique enough that I enjoyed it. It was also a fairly short story, less than half the length of most Amish novels, so the story ended quickly but with a satisfying resolution. There was also a great point that one of the characters made. You can make someone love you. They have to do that because they want to and trying to possess them isn't going to make them love you more, but less. The other theme was that a mother's love knows no bounds. Like a prodigal, one of the characters returned and the mother did exactly what that lost and hurting soul needed. She loved unconditionally like mother's usually do. That always brings healing. That was well done and made this book above average. One more note... the main character is 19 and the girl on the cover looks barely twelve, so don't mistake this book for an elementary school aged reader. It's for young teens on up.

This was a nice little book. Mary got you right into the Christmas Spirit. She really delivers the true meaning of Christmas. Its not the material things that count but God's Love and the love of family. We all need that love and support every day and you find that in this story. Shr did an amzing job in this book. This is one book you will need to read. I recommend this to anyone who needs to be uplifted.
