Christmas at Rose Hill Farm: An Amish Love Story

by Suzanne Woods Fisher

Overview

Bess Riehl is preparing Rose Hill Farm for her Christmas wedding, but her groom isn't who she thought it would be. Billy Lapp is far away from his Amish roots working as a rose rustler for Penn State and wants nothing to do with Stoney Ridge, his family, or Bess. And that suits Bess just fine. Why should she think twice about a man who left without a word, without any explanation? It's time she moved on with her life, and that meant saying yes to Amos Lapp, Billy's cousin and best friend. But as Bess and Amos's wedding day draws near, her emotions tangle into a tight knot. She loves Amos. Yet she can't forget Billy.

When a "lost" rose is discovered at Rose Hill Farm, Billy is sent to track down its origins. Get in, identify the rose, and get out. That's his plan. The only catch is that he's having a hard time narrowing down the identity of the lost rose, and he can't get those tropical blue eyes of Bess Riehl out of his mind.

As the history of the lost rose is pieced together, it reminds Bess and Billy--and Amos, too--that Christmas truly is the season of miracles.

Editorial Reviews

09/01/2014
Bess Riehl and Amos Lapp are engaged; he is ecstatic, but she is having serious doubts. Bess's heart belongs to Amos's cousin Billy, whose abrupt departure four years earlier has done nothing to ease the longing in her heart. Billy has sworn never to return to Rose Hill Farm after he was wrongfully accused by his family of stealing a valuable collectible. Now he works for a university as the official "rose wrangler." On the hunt for an unidentified rose variety, Billy hesitates when he realizes that his mission will take him to Bess's farm. The two meet, stirring up the attraction both had thought was gone. Billy also learns that his brothers have abandoned their dying father. VERDICT Carol Award-winning author Fisher once again captures the themes of love, hope, and forgiveness that the Christmas season can embody. Readers who adored A Lancaster County Christmas will be enchanted by this story of romantic reconciliation. Also recommended for fans of Ann H. Gabhart's Christmas at Harmony Hill.
