Amish White Christmas Pie (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I would've given this book 4 stars if there hadn't been a few instances of vague language that might or might not have been inconsistencies. Also, the book centers around the Amish White Christmas Pie recipe, but at the end of the book, this pie recipe was not among the recipes given to readers. This disappointed me because I wanted to know what ingredients in the pie made the characters enjoy it so much. A sweet Christmas story of reconciliation and grace. Will's mother died when he was just a young child and he spent his days with his father travelling the country in his father's big rig. Will's father takes him to the home of an Amish couple, Mark and Regina Stoltzfus, for Christmas and takes off to try to find work that would give stabilty to Will's home life.
