Can one Amish woman give a struggling widower with five rowdy boys a helping hand--and chance at love--this Christmas season? Phoebe Kropf knows everyone thinks she's a bit odd--and more than a little accident-prone. She doesn't understand why they fuss over her at home rather than see her as a bright, independent Amish woman. So when a friend asks Phoebe to help care for a house full of young men in nearby Sweetbrier Creek, she leaps at the chance to prove she's more than her shortcomings . . . Widower Seth Beiler is in over his head with his five orphaned brieder to care for and all the Christmas orders his woodworking shop needs to fulfill. When he asked for help with some cooking and cleaning, he wasn't expecting a housekeeper as unconventional--or lovely--as Phoebe. Yet her warm care and holiday traditions win their hearts one by one. And soon the farmhouse finally starts to feel like home again. When the Christmas season and Phoebe's time there is nearly at an end, will Seth convince her that the greatest gift would be her staying . . . as part of their familye?
