The Amish Christmas Secret by Vannetta Chapman has Daniel Glick moving to Shipshewana, Indiana for a fresh start. He has a secret that he does not wish to share with the people in his new community. Daniel wants seclusion and peace which is why he purchased a property far from town. The house and barn need an extensive amount of work (a stiff wind could knock them over), but Daniel is looking forward to the challenge. He did not count on his neighbor’s second eldest child, Becca Schwartz. Daniel shares a barn with the Schwartz family and Becca uses their half for her projects. She is curious about Daniel who tends to avoid answering her questions. He hopes that Becca will take a hint. Daniel is unprepared for Becca’s determination, insatiable curiosity, and her desire to protect her family. When Daniel begins to fall for Becca, will his secret come between them? The Amis Christmas Secret is a fun story. The author created great characters. They are interesting and realistic. I enjoyed getting to know Becca and Daniel. They made this a humorous story (especially Becca). Becca is a woman with an abundance of ideas. She wants to earn money to help her family, but she is a little naïve (more than a little). I laughed often while reading this entertaining Amish tale. Carl, the rooster, will have you in stitches. There are good life lessons in this story. We get to see that it does not matter if you are poor or wealthy, we all have our problems. You do not need money to make you happy. Happiness is found within us and with those we love. I was thankful for the epilogue that nicely wrapped up Becca and Daniel’s tale. I was sorry for this sweet story to end. I would love a story featuring each of Becca’s siblings (there are eight siblings). While The Amish Christmas Secret is the 6th Indiana Amish Brides Novel, it can be read as a standalone. I have enjoyed each book in the series. The Amish Christmas Secret is an amusing Amish tale with a new neighbor, a raging rooster, a happy horse, a ramshackle house, money making machinates, rowdy relations, and a caring community. ( )
