Rose turned her back on the man she loves after he assisted the Englisch during World War II—only to discover she’s an Englischer herself. Born in the midst of the hardships of The Great Depression, Rose grew up in Berlin, Ohio, in the arms of a loving Amish family. But she is overwhelmed by self-doubt when she learns that she was born Englisch and abandoned when her family moved West in search of work. Was she meant to be Amish or would she have been better off growing up with her own kind—Englischers? When the man she loves leaves her behind, Rose is certain he left for good. Yet Rose discovers sometimes our greatest gifts are the ones we fear.

Christmas Gift!, a master story-teller's moving personal reminiscence, discovers the very essence of the holiday season. The wonder and excitement of childhood combine with the wisdom and reverence of maturity to produce tale rich in tradition and continuity. Interweaving his memories of boy-hood Christmases in the dark days of the Depression and the details of present-day holidays with his grand-children, Ferrol Sams demonstrates the deep, inescapable role of rituals in our lives and the importance of passing them on to each succeeding generation. Rich with details as true today as they were more than a half-century ago when Sams was growing up, Christmas Gift! is a grandfather's loving preserva- tion of an important ritual of his childhood. Strapped for material resources adequate to their generous spirits, members of the Sams household would greet each other with the joyous cry of "Christmas gift!" in order to share the tidings of the season and celebrate their connection. Fifty years later, in a moving and powerful rite of passage, Sams initiates his grandchildren in the ways of family and tradition by sharing his story and by taking them to their great-grandfather's grave early on a clear Christmas morning to shout forth the ancient cry: "Christmas gift! Christmas gift!" Sams is in rare form in this tale that will warm hearts, create laughter and tears, and earn a place in the center of Christmas celebrations for years to come.
