Driving into a Lancaster County ditch during a near-blizzard is not where Maria Romano envisioned she'd end up on the day before Christmas Eve. But somehow she finds it fitting--after all, her life has been stuck and lonely for years, and the recent discovery that she was adopted makes her yearn for connection. So when a genealogy search leads her to a shop in Amish country, she can't help but visit in person, regardless of the weather. Despite a rough introduction, Maria is surprised by the warm and welcoming Amish family table she finds herself invited to on Christmas. But will the family's kindness be enough to help her find her place and the truth about her past? An Unexpected Christmas Gift is an endearing novella from Amish fiction author Kate Lloyd.

Snowed in for Christmas…She only wants to ignore it. But he’s determined to show her everything the season has to offer…including love. For Andi Williams, Christmas represents everything she’s supposed to have—and doesn’t. Running away to a remote mountain lodge seems like the perfect way to escape the season. And it would have been if it weren’t for the snow storm and a booking mix-up that finds her stranded. That is, until a rough around the edges, green eyed stranger offers a solution. There was no way in good conscience that Colin Hartford could leave the woman with nowhere to stay. Especially on Christmas. He knows all too well what it’s like to be alone for the holidays. It isn’t long before Colin’s determination to enjoy the festivities he’s missed for so long sweeps Andi into the season of joy that she’s not so sure she’s ready for. If Andi can allow herself to open up—just a little—she might finally have the chance to experience everything the holidays can really offer…including love.
