The Author
“Best-selling author Amy Clipston has been writing for as long as she can remember. Her fiction writing “career” began in elementary school when she and a close friend wrote and shared silly stories. She is a graduate of Virginia Wesleyan College and a member of the Authors Guild, American Christian Fiction Writers, and Romance Writers of America. Amy lives in North Carolina with her husband, Joe; two sons, Zac and Matt; mother, Lola; and four spoiled rotten cats, Molly, Rico, Jet, and Lilly.” -www.amyclipston.com
The Book
A Plain and Simple Christmas is a great story about a former Amish woman wishing for a miracle during the holidays. She was shunned when she left her Amish community to marry an English man and the loss of her family has weighed on her heart for too many years. Now as she’s about to have her first child, she’s hoping to reconnect and be accepted once again by her family so that her child will grow up knowing them.
This is a great story about bringing families together at Christmas and it teaches a lot of the Amish lifestyle. I really enjoy reading Amish stories and was excited when I heard of Amy Clipston’s books. She integrates some Amish words into the book and has even included the translations in the front of the book so that we can be sure to understand everything being said.

Right. I’ve now tweeted and retweeted this link to Amy Clipston’s A PLAIN AND SIMPLE CHRISTMAS. Does this count as a new comment on one of your blogs. Don’t you just LOVE having to carry out all this tasks … think i’ll blog about how long it takes to do these tasks!!!
