I have been running around to lots of extra appointments with the kids as well. I normally tote around my Kindle Fire but I just keep forgetting to charge the thing. I'm just not technology forward so on my way to wait at yet another Dr's appointment for Cary Lynn I needed to grab a more portable book that I could take in my purse.
So I grabbed a copy of Amy Clipston's book, Naomi's Gift. It was small and fit into my purse.
From the back: Naomi has begun to believe that she isn’t meant to find love, but she might receive more than she has ever hoped for this Christmas.
Twenty-four-year-old Naomi King has all but given up on marriage and children. As Christmas approaches, Naomi is certain that her life will be spent as an old maid, helping with the family’s quilting business and taking care of her eight siblings. Then she meets Caleb, a young widower with a 7-year-old daughter, and her world is once again turned upside-down.
Caleb, a widower, heads back home for the holidays. He meets Naomi at the farmer's market and they form a connection.
It was great to see how Naomi has grown and matured through the stories that Amy has told. I really felt like she had learned her lessons from past hurts and was trying to do it right this time. The story was full of twists and turns like I have come to expect from Amy's work and I was unhappy to have to stop reading. I even told one of the Dr's that I had to just finish one more page. That didn't sit well with him:).
Caleb and Naomi are meant for each other but it seemed like the harder they tried the more forces tried to pull them apart. Naomi's mother has doubts, Caleb's sister wants him to find a "proper wife", and Caleb's grief over the loss of his wife.
So what happens? Well you'll have to pick up a copy and read it for yourself! So if you're ready for a nice holiday read (like me) and can't wait for signs of winter pick up your copy today! Happy Reading!
