The Pregnant Amish Daughter: An Amish Christmas Romance of Mercy (Hickory Ridge Holiday Hearts #1)

With a Christmas baby on the way, an unmarried Amish daughter must face her people, her bishop, and the baby’s father. And no one can carry this burden for her.

Rachel Eli returns to Hickory Ridge knowing one look at her growing belly will tell the story she can’t hide.
Quietly moved from her parents’ farmhouse to Widow Greta’s spare room through Advent, she kneads sweet bread for Christmas baskets and helps the schoolchildren practice carols by lantern light, wondering if there will still be a place at her own family’s table when the season ends.

Seeing Aaron Beiler again is the hardest part. The boy who once held her heart now stands stiff and distant while another girl walks beside him. The Ordnung demands he keep away; her heart hasn’t learned how. Maybe the door on them is shut for good…or maybe Gott isn’t finished yet.

As snow deepens and Christmas draws near, whispers grow perhaps the baby should be raised elsewhere, perhaps Rachel should start over far from Hickory Ridge. But with each quiet evening by the stove and every small kick beneath her heart, she must decide whether she still believes what she’s always been taught : that babies are blessings, and that Gott’s mercy can reach even her.

Warm, honest, and full of winter light, The Pregnant Amish Daughter is a clean and wholesome Amish Christmas romance about a fallen daughter, a waiting father, and the fragile hope of a new beginning. For readers who love snow-dusted farms, candlelit services, and second chances wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Step into Hickory Ridge and let Rachel’s story warm your heart this Christmas.
