An Orphan For Christmas

A baby left behind. A brother she shouldn’t love. A Christmas she’ll never forget.

When a desperate young mother leaves her newborn on Anna Stoltzfus’s doorstep, the quiet Amish woman’s carefully ordered life begins to unravel. The note she finds reveals a truth she never expected to face, the baby is the son of Samuel Miller, the man who once broke her heart and left their community behind.

Every time Anna looks at the child, she sees Samuel’s face. Keeping him would mean living with a reminder of the love she lost. But when Samuel’s brother, Jacob, steps in to help, the reminders multiply. Jacob has his brother’s eyes, his voice, even his smile—but where Samuel was restless, Jacob is steadfast and kind. And soon Anna begins to wonder if her heart can tell the difference.

As Christmas draws near and English authorities threaten to take the baby away, Anna faces an impossible choice. What if keeping him means opening her heart to love again—and risking the pain she’s fought so hard to forget?
