She gets it into her head that she can take the place of Matthew Yoder, her shunned Amish neighbor, and be part of the huge Yoder clan. A stray white dog, fixing a manger set with her foster dad, and a homeless man all show Lexi an important lesson about the love of God...which prepares her heart for the biggest Christmas surprise ever. ***Amish Knitting Circle Christmas: Granny & Jeb's Love Story Granny Weaver started a knitting circle believing women are stronger spun together, just like her wool. But she was young once with her own struggles. In 1963 Deborah Byler is twenty-one and has turned down seven marriage proposals from hopeful suitors in Millersburg, Ohio. At her parent's request, she goes to live with relatives in the new Amish settlement in Smicksburg, Pennsylvania, praying she'll find a match. Jeb Weaver lives in a strict Swartzentruber Amish settlement, and he can no longer abide under the rules of the Ordnung. His older brother left the family farm and settled in Smicksburg, and convinces Jeb to do the same. When Jeb meets Deborah, he finds her too liberal and outspoken. Deborah thinks Jeb's judgmental and a complete stick in the mud. Their constant clashing makes sparks fly. Will an African American man, who hitchhikes around the country to attend Martin Luther King Jr. marches, help Jeb and Deborah see their own prejudices? ***Christmas Union: Quaker Abolitionist of Chester County, PA Rebecca Mendenhall is counting the days to Christmas, when she'll wed Johnny Whittier in their Quaker Meeting House. But in September, a division is formed between Rebecca and Johnny. The Fugitive Slave Law is enacted, making it illegal to aid runaway slaves in Pennsylvania, punishable by heavy fines and prison sentences. Rebecca's parents are avid abolitionists and Johnny' father is not, believing Quakers must abide by the laws of the land. Division's among the Quakers on how to deal with this new law splits their Meeting House in two: Rebecca in one house and Johnny in another. Will Rebecca and Johnny be united by their wedding date, or will Rebecca see Levi Vickman, a passionate young abolitionist, in a new light? A house divided against itself cannot stand, Rebecca's parents warn her, implying someone like Levi would be a better match. Abolitionists such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and John Greenleaf Whittier, persuade many Quakers who feel they are breaking this new law realize that they are keeping a commandment from God: to cloth the naked, feed the hungry, and remember those in chains. Christmas Union is based on true stories of abolitionist in Chester Country, PA, and the anguish the Fugitive Slave Law brought to the local Quakers.
