The Christmas Quilt by Vannetta Chapman Review


About the book: Annie's life is deliciously full as the Christmas season approaches. She helps her husband, Samuel, attend to the community's minor medical needs. She occasionally assists Belinda, the local midwife, and most days, she finds herself delivering the buggy to her brother Adam. Annie's sister-in-law Leah is due to deliver their first child before Christmas morning, and Annie is determined to finish a crib quilt before the boppli arrives. With six weeks to go, she should have no problem . . . but God may have a different plan. Leah is rushed to the English hospital when the infant arrives early, and Annie discovers the Christmas quilt may hold a far greater significance than she ever imagined.

My Review:
I liked that this book was about an amish girl's rumspringa. A lot of times that is a time of leaving the Amish faith and venturing out into the unknown. I was so happy that Annie kept true to her heritage. I was so sad as a woman and wife that there were issues in childbirth. As the birth progressed I realized that the Amish are very religious and they believe that everything happens for a reason. The end talked about a trio and ot reminded me of the holy trinity. What a perfect way to end a Christmas book. The Quilt in this story reminded me that every stitch made contributes to the final outcome. You can not go back, nor can you undo you past. However you can plan ahead and try a different way to get to your future.
I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own. I highly recommend the entire Quilts of Love Series!
