A Christmas Courtship (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781982148492)

This charming and gentle Christmas love story in the "swoon-worthy" (Woman's World) Berlin Bookmobile series follows a librarian determined to help an Amish bachelor woo his neighbor.

A solitary sort, forty-two-year-old Atle Petersheim spends his time hard at work in his wood shop. But as the days get longer, he realizes just how lonely he's become. When his longtime crush, Sadie Mast, a widow and mother of three, asks him to help her build a room in their barn for her son, Atle can't say no. Eager to pursue Sadie at last, he turns to bookmobile librarian Sarah Anne Miller for courting advice. More than happy to help, Sarah Anne decides the best way to learn about love is through books--romance novels to be precise.

Between completing holiday orders for her flourishing food business, helping Cale navigate a dramatic new relationship with his boss's daughter, and coming to terms with the trauma her late husband had inflicted upon her and her children--not to mention Atle showing up at her door with flowers--Sadie is in over her head. Though Atle's efforts are initially clumsy and his declarations a bit awkward, Sadie can't help but be charmed by her patient and kind neighbor. But is she ready for love?

Another delightful romance about the "transformative powers of love, hope, and faith" (Publishers Weekly), A Christmas Courtship is the perfect holiday read.
