Book Summary

The Amish Christmas Kitchen Tour

Guest Post from Jennifer Beckstrand

What do you get when you combine Anna and Felty’s earnest grandson, Titus, with a pretty girl who’s practically engaged to someone else, a sleigh full of Christmas bakery orders, and two mischievous Christmas goats?

A wild, wacky, and wunderbarr Christmas, that’s what.

Anna and Felty Helmuth are determined to make this the most romantic Christmas ever on Huckleberry Hill, but have they bitten off more than they can chew trying to match their slightly scatterbrained grandson Titus with timid Katie Rose Gingerich? Titus tends to be a little thick in the head when it comes to love, and Katie Rose is too shy to open her mouth. It might take every potholder Anna can knit plus a determined goat and a little Christmas magic to bring Titus and Katie Rose together.

Titus would do anything for his Mammi Anna, even eat her very bad cooking and learn how to knit, but why does he have to be the one to care for Mammi’s new goat? Goats give him the willies. But when Titus meets the pretty girl staying with his grandparents for Christmas, he doesn’t mind the goat so much. The more he sees of Katie Rose’s gentle ways and loving spirit, the more he wishes he were the kind of boy she would bake a pie for. Can he convince her to love him without offending her boyfriend? And will Mammi notice if he gets rid of her goat?

After I wrote Huckleberry Hearts, I just knew there had to be someone special out there for Titus Helmuth, Anna and Felty’s lovable grandson. Christmas is the perfect setting for “A Christmas Bakery on Huckleberry Hill” because Titus is one character who seems to have the spirit of Christmas in his heart all year long. When Katie Rose is homesick, Titus does his best to make her feel welcome and comfortable on Huckleberry Hill. He delivers her Christmas goodies, writes poetry for her, and sings Christmas songs. When he finally realizes he loves her, he’s going to have to use both Christmas goats and every trick in the book to convince her to marry him. It’s a fun, heartwarming, wonderful-gute Christmas romance.

“A Christmas Bakery on Huckleberry Hill” is in The Amish Christmas Kitchen novella collection, and it will definitely get you in the Christmas spirit. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Book Review by Bree Herron

There are more than Jennifer’s story in this collection but for this purpose I am focusing on The Christmas Bakery at Huckleberry Hill. I enjoyed reading this story, laughing out loud, and at times having the silliest images painted in my mind. This is certainly a story that you can read year around for a smile, and a chuckle.

The Love Goat is in, and it is going to be a festive time! Click To Tweet

A Christmas Guru, Goat I mean is coming to Huckleberry Hill, and it is going to get wild. I loved this in fact I love when an animal is part of the match making. Katie is such a charming dear of a girl. She makes the reader feel at easy with her thoughts and words. Titus, oh Titus, he is so sweet! I mean endearingly sweet. I immediately thought of wedding bells and cakes for these two.

Jennifer paints a beautiful and sweet holiday story that readers of Amish fiction and soft romances alike will enjoy. I read all the stories in this collection and I can say the collection is worth a cozy up and read session for a day!
