These ladies did a wonderful job. I started crying within the first few minutes of reading Beth Wiseman' s 'In His Father's Arms.' It was a tumultuous journey for Ruth Anne and Levi as they welcomed Baby Joshua into their lives and dealt with his challenges.Amy Clipston' s 'A Son for Always,' was beautifully told. Carolyn' s worries concerning Joshua' s acceptance of his adopted 16 year old son, once Sadie Liz was born, were completely irrational.'A Heart Full of Love,' by Kathleen Fuller is an amazing story of a young blind mother's ability to care for her new born twin daughters.Vannetta Chapman's 'An Unexpected Blessing,' is a wonderful book about older parents, Etta and Mose birth of their 8th child, Hannah, and the way GOD chose for her to enter the world. Life is full of blessings and they intend to enjoy every one of them.

I love this book and all of the stories are by my favorite authors. Great stories on love, faith, and patience to follow God's will. He is love and will show you t he way th a life full of grace and love. Babies are the greatest joy and the mirror of God's love for the human race. Take time to be with them in the fullest context. Don't worry about what gets done when and just enjoy your babies.

I noted that the plot was predictable but it is how I want Amish fiction to be. I want to read a calm book where I can get away from reality for a while. The book is predictable in the sense that the main characters usually have some type of happy or peaceful ending and that God plays an important part in their everyday life as well as how the plot resolves in the end of each story. I love how all the short stories tie together with a common theme.

A young Amish couple have a baby born with Downs syndrome. This book deals with how they are handling having a child with special needs. Also how they are dealing with each other. It is a very emotional read. But a very worthwhile one.

I love the book.Especially when I didn't realize that there was another book in the Lancaster Grand Hotel series, and I made the connection through the characters. Like, "Hey, I know them!" I love books that are so well written that you can feel the characters!

I love Amish fiction. These stories are calming, but do seem to have a common theme. Usually, they are a story of some kind of dilemma over staying Amish versus moving to the English world. Or they are stories of boy meets girl.

Each one of these stories is totally different and totally different. Babies make changes in our lives in the best of circumstances. Learning to trust in God is what having babies can do to make adults grow.I had tears, smiles and laughter while reading these stories; which in way of thinking makes them excellent! I definitely recommend reading this book.

I read this on the KindleThis was a good book it has 4 stories in from different authorsEach was about having or had a baby the 1st about a Downs child & if the husband is accepting of it, the 2nd was about if a new husband had fully accepted her son so she want to make sure so she saving & working to put money by for him in case he needs itThe 3rd was really good as it was about a mother meddling as she don't think her blind daughter can cope with her twinsThe 4th was about an women having a child when older & how the older children behaveA good book i enjoyed reading each story i do like these ones where you get different authors write & they put in to one book
