Seth and Susanna have both experienced marriages that didn't live up to their expectations and in fact, caused harm and loss of trust. After their respective spouses pass away, each vows to never marry again, but instead work independently to rebuild their life and move on from the hurt and conflict. Seth has a young baby at home, and with no helpmate, he soon finds himself overwhelmed. Susanna offers her help and in return she also receives help from Seth with her crop harvest and neglected farm chores.
As life moves forward, they each realize some independence is nice, but it's also nice to have a friend and partner to experience the highs and lows of life with. Relationships can be joyful and peaceful when you have shared values and true companionship. A lovely story with a happy ending for two deserving people and the sweet little baby too.

What a cute little story. It was a quick read even though it wasn’t real short.
Seth Lehman needs help with his baby girl after her mother dies from a drug overdose. Susanna Gluck needs a place to setup her noodle business. After approaching Seth about renting a space for his business, she realizes how he is buried with trying to raise his daughter and still care for his farm. They make a trade off, her watching baby Miriam while he works.
Her goal to be independent of a man after her abusive husband dies is working out. Can the two of them trust each other to work things out? It’s a great book to see what happens. This is book 3 in a series, but I think it is a stand-alone.
This was a bingo challenge, a book with a green cover.
It has a Christmas title but not really a main theme at all. This was a library book.

This is the third book in the Secret Amish Babies series of Bale's. It's the story of Susanna Glick and Seth Lehman, who have both recently lost their spouses and had poor marriages. Seth also has an infant daughter, Miriam. Can two people with troubled pasts become friends, and maybe even more?
I found this to be a delightful read, and if you're a fan of Amish romance, you won't want to miss this one!

I wanted to like this book. I enjoy the Amish genre, and I like Christmas.
For some reason, this book just dragged, and dragged. It was too intense for me. Page after page of unhappiness, friction, etc. I wanted to like the main character, Susannah Glick, but found her too moody and skittish. Page after page. I have to confess, I only made it about 2/3 of the way through the book. An odd little happening in this book, they 'bottle' tomatoes. I've never heard of 'bottling' tomatoes. Canning, but never bottling. You 'bottle' ketchup. I thought I was just having a bad day, so I put off even reviewing it. But this has been going on for a few weeks.
