The Amish Christmas Miser
Summary
Mark King was an elderly Amish man who lived alone. Partly out of choice, and partly because his seven (now adult) children could no longer cope with his ways. He did care about things and people, but felt unable to show it. His childhood home life and then community were very strict, and he took this too far as an adult, not allowing joy, love or happiness into his life, or for those around him. A talented carpenter and a vastly knowledgeable man, who opinion was often consulted by community members was over shadowed by his shouting at people for little reason, and lack of ability to show care or emotion. He loved his children but found it near impossible to cope with them as little ones, and as for his own grandchildren? He could not cope with the noise and mischief. His wife sadly had passed away on the eve of Christmas a few years earlier. The village women said “of a broken heart”. He trusted her, loved her and misses her, but cannot talk about it, so others simply assume that he has a heart made of stone. Each year when Christmas comes around he feels himself becoming more stern and angry and resentful. He does not celebrate Christmas at all other than to attend prayer meetings etc., and distances himself from the community for weeks at a time. When one day Mark falls and hurts himself whilst shouting at his neighbor's children, he is forced to accept help, and is faced with a few home truths about his actions. Could the sad, and bitter old man find happiness once again or will he be lonely for the rest of his life?

Summary

From early on, Mary held tightly onto her Amish doll, which at first seemed very cute until it became apparent that later, when learning to speak, that Mary would talk to the doll and rarely, if ever, let it go, even at night.

As May grew, she learnt to make dolls herself and would sell them in their community and the local town to make much needed money for the family. One day, she prayed for an upset child in the town she saw crying when her father took her to the grocery store. She prayed so hard to her doll that when the child stopped crying and reached out her hands for the doll, Mary gave the doll without thinking, which brought a smile to the child's face. What happened next would change their lives forever. With this change would come trials and challenges. Will the outcome be the good of all, or the downfall of everyone connected with the situation.

Anna's Amish Secret
Summary
Another great Amish short story romance. *Contains a few Amish words* Anna had lived in the community all of her life, not even leaving for Rumspringa when all of her friends had done so. She loved her family, her community, and everything about their culture and faith...apart from one little thing that had troubled her all her days. The culture dictated that she should not sing and dance too much in public, not be loud or attract attention upon herself, and should be quiet most of the time. The problem Anna had with this, was that she loved to sing, to dance, to be bright and outgoing, and to be a positive soul in the world. She had been repeatedly told off by the elders and her own parents for being too outgoing, loud, and extroverted, and over time had learnt to hide her bigger nature and eventually grew unhappy and had even doubted her faith at times. "Why would Gott not want me to praise him in such a joyous manner?" One day she finished singing to find a man watching her and giving her applause. Anna was ashamed and felt guilty but the young man encouraged her to not stop. They talked a while and discovered that the man (Amos) was a relation of one of the elders and was going to live in their community. Anna became terrified that he would share her secret and that she might be punished, but he assured her that he would say nothing. Would Amos betray her and divide the community, or would she be able to finally convince the community and its elders of the value of "Joy".
