The Amish Christmas Protector
Miriam King
But the arrival of Jonas Kauffman stirs everything she has tried to bury. Jonas brings gentle order to the schoolhouse and unexpected warmth and protection to her home. He listens. He helps. He sees her. Soon the winter evenings are filled with stories, shared meals and moments Anna never allows herself to imagine. Slowly, she begins to wonder if she could build a life with a man who wants nothing more than to stand beside her.
Then Jonas’s father arrives and tears open wounds Jonas tried to leave behind. Powerful words are spoken in Anna’s kitchen, and the life she dared to picture collapses beneath the weight of fear and duty. Anna pushes Jonas away to save him from choosing between love and family, not realising she is breaking the one heart that has never failed her.
As Christmas draws near, Jonas must fight for the life he wants and Anna must face the truth she has avoided for years. Love is not a burden. Love is a gift. And sometimes the bravest choice is letting yourself receive it.
