   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  anastaciaknits | Oct 29, 2016 |   In Christmas Cradles we have a beautiful story of Romance and Forgivness. Asa and Anna..Anna being a midwife and ending up delivering three babies, while Asa is her buggy driver, and assistant. Reliving mistakes made as a young man, while sick. One baby born in a stable...just like a Christmas of long ago. A sweet story of renewal and happiness. The last story A Marriage of the Heart.. is about a hurting girl who tricks an newly baptized Amishman into marriage. Loved how this story unfolded and how love and forgiveness abounds. Three quick, good stories, they are a fast and sweet read. Enjoy! I received this book through Publisher Thomas Nelson's Book Sneeze Program, and was not required to give a positive review.

This book is 3 separate stories in one: A Perfect Secret, A Marriage of the Heart & Christmas Cradles.
A Perfect Secret was a little weird to me - Amish man, running off in the middle of the woods, wearing & pretending to be English. I didn't particularly get into this one or even like it.
I liked A Marriage of the Heart a little better, but just as I was starting to like the characters & get into the storyline, it ended. I would have really liked to have seen more.
Christmas Cradles was definitely my favorite of the book, & is the reason why the book gets 4 stars instead of 3. If I was to rate just that story, I would give it 5 stars. I loved the characters & the storyline from the first paragraph & identified with Anna. I too once thought myself rather plain & unlovable & thought no man would ever want me, thought of myself as too different for anyone to really want to be with me. I also just enjoyed how Anna & Asa somehow end up falling in love.
