An Amish Thanksgiving (A Romance): Includes Amish Recipes & Reading Group Guide

By Beth Wiseman

Description:

Catherine Lapp doesn't have time for a romantic relationship. Her parents fled her Amish community and left her to tend to her ailing grandmother who suffers from dementia. Often embarrassed by her grandmother's off-the-wall behavior, Catherine mostly stays to herself.

When an unseasonal winter storm sends visitors to Catherine's farmhouse for shelter, she has no choice but to take them in as borders. She is rattled by the unexpected company who witness her grandmother's odd behavior right away. But instead of judgment, her new friends not only help her with her grandmother, but they provide an opportunity to learn what real unconditional love can be--both romantically and through friendship.

Book Takeaway:

I think that to really celebrate the essence of Thanksgiving, it is about giving of oneself. All the characters in the story ‘give’ in some way. And, what follows, is a celebration of what goes around comes around. You get what you give.

Why the author wrote this book:

During the holidays, there is usually a flood of Christmas books hitting the shelves, virtual and otherwise. But I think most of us really feel the season starting to kick into gear around Thanksgiving. I don’t go searching for characters when I write a story. They seem to seek me out and have something to say. My protagonist, Catherine, pushed this story into my mind. Having said that, I’m familiar with dementia and the effects it has not only on the patient but also the caregiver. I wanted to write a story that reflected hope—a real Thanksgiving and what it represents.
