Christmas at the Amish Bakery Door

For three years, Miriam Lapp has survived her grief by working from dawn until long after dark. Christmas brings crowds to the bakery, but it also brings aching memories she cannot quite silence. Her young daughter, Faith, believes the season brings blessings. Miriam is no longer sure.

When Aaron Miller unexpectedly returns to Birch Creek just before Christmas, old emotions stir in ways Miriam never anticipated. The boy who once carved wooden animals has become a quiet, burdened man carrying years of anger and regret. Yet Faith sees something gentle in him and begins offering him drawings, cookies, and childlike prayers meant to heal a heart she does not fully understand.

As the village prepares for the bishop’s Christmas Eve gathering, Aaron faces loss, reconciliation, and the truth he has avoided since the day he left. Miriam faces the terrifying possibility that love may not be finished with her after all.
Amid snowy fields, candlelit windows, and the Christmas hymns of their community, two hurting souls discover that hope has a way of appearing when the world feels darkest.

A moving Amish Christmas story of forgiveness, redemption, and the love that turns strangers into family.
