Rose turned her back on the man she loves after he assisted the Englisch during World War II—only to discover she's an Englischer herself.

Born in the midst of the hardships of The Great Depression, Rose grew up in Berlin, Ohio, in the arms of a loving Amish family. But she is overwhelmed by self-doubt when she learns that she was born Englisch and abandoned when her family moved West in search of work.

Was she meant to be Amish or would she have been better off growing up with her own kind—Englischers? When the man she loves leaves her behind, Rose is certain he left for good. Yet Rose discovers sometimes our greatest gifts are the ones we fear.

I absolutely loved A Christmas Gift for Rose by Tricia Goyer. This was a standout read for me—engaging, emotional, and beautifully done. It’s the kind of story that stays with you long after you’ve finished. A full 5-star gem that I’d recommend without hesitation.
