Book excerpt: Granny Weaver started a knitting circle believing women are stronger spun together, just like her wool. But she was young once with her own struggles. In 1963 Deborah Byler is twenty-one and has turned down seven marriage proposals from hopeful suitors in Millersburg, Ohio. At her parent's request, she goes to live with relatives in the new Amish settlement in Smicksburg, Pennsylvania, praying she'll find a match. Jeb Weaver lives in a strict Swartzentruber Amish settlement, and he can no longer abide under the rules of the Ordnung. His older brother left the family farm and settled in Smicksburg, and convinces Jeb to do the same. When Jeb meets Deborah, he finds her too liberal and outspoken. Deborah thinks Jeb's judgmental and a complete stick in the mud. Their constant clashing makes sparks fly. Will an African American man, who hitchhikes around the country to attend Martin Luther King Jr. marches, help Jeb and Deborah see their own prejudices? "Karen Anna Vogel again bring us another heart warming Granny & Jeb story. A love that surrounds all those who read it." Pamela Jarrell Whoopie Pie Book Club

As they meet from October to April to knit shawls for charity, they begin to deal with problems, together, in community, the Amish way. Amish Knitting Circle: Complete Series includes: Beginnings Granny Weaver starts the circle, and all the women have a reason not to come, but push back fears and eventually go. Wedding Season Amish weddings are typically in November. The knitting circle women see happy newlyweds everywhere, but for two, it's a painful season; one wishing she was married, another wishing she was not. Thanksgiving The Amish celebrate this holiday, now that many work for the English (Non-Amish) and have the day off. The women reflect on all they're thankful for... Snowflakes December winds blow sparkling snowflakes everywhere and someone learns she's a beautiful and unique as the ice crystals falling all around her. Christmas Cookies It's Christmas, and Granny Weaver is excited about the knitting circle's Christmas cookie exchange. She's comes to see these "Little Women" as her daughters, and along with that, the fretting heart of a mom. Old World Christmas It's STILL Christmas, as the Amish celebrate the season over twelve days, ending on January 6th, Old Christmas. It's a day of fasting and reflection, remembering the arrival of the three kings who brought gifts to baby Jesus. Beauty for Ashes It's the end of January, and the knitting circle is meditating on the scripture; He gives us beauty for ashes... (Isaiah 61:3). One member is facing a terrible medical diagnosis; another needs counseling for damaged emotions. Wings to Fly It's a blustery February and the annual Audubon Backyard Bird Count is underway. What life lessons do feathered friends teach the women in the circle? Spun Together It's March and three weeks until Easter. Unity among church member must exist before this holy day, when they partake of communion and wash each other's feet. But emotions are running high... New Beginnings It's Easter, but will it need to be postponed due to discord among church members? An early spring wedding is planned, or will there be two?

Book excerpt: Thousands of women worldwide are being helped by Granny Weaver and her knitting circle friends as they solve problems the Amish way. The prequels to this series are: Amish Knitting Circle: Smicksburg Tales 1 Amish Friends Knitting: Smicksburg Tales 2) If you haven't read them, you can still jump in and join the girls in this series: When readers told me their knitting circles were reading episodes of Amish Knitting Circle and then Amish Friends Knitting Circle and then making the dessert recipes included, an idea popped into my head. Granny loves Jane Austen, so why not have the women read classic literature and discuss it at their circle? Amish Knit Lit Circle was born. All winter, Granny and her circle, now consisting of Amish and English friends, knit for the homeless and discuss books. As these women reach out into their community, they share what they've learned. Missy Prissy, a snobby rich woman, reads A Christmas Carol, but will it change her Scrooge heart? The single moms at Forget-Me-Not Manor read Anne of Green Gables, and can identify with this lonely orphan, being formerly homeless and on the streets, and share their stories for the first time, bringing healing. Mona reads Black Beauty and images of past abuse haunt her dreams and this could not possibly be a good thing, or is it? Visions of romance dance in the women's heads, too. After reading Pride & Prejudice, they swoon over Mr. Darcy telling Elizabeth, "You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." Some start to write love letters to their husbands, others wonder why their husbands just can't spit out "I love you." Marriage problems come to the forefront, but will they be swept under the rag rug? With their wives being so touchy-feely, will their husbands dive for the nearest rock to hide under? Some readers are participating in Granny's circle in the comfort of their homes, not having to travel to Smicksburg. If you'd like to read these classic books along with the women in the circle, here's Granny's reading list: Pride & Prejudice, Jane Austen Little Women, Louis May Alcott Anne of Green Gables, Lucy Maud Montgomery A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens The Life of our Lord, Charles Dickens Emma, Jane Austen Black Beauty, Anna Sewell Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett

Book excerpt: Baking cookies every other Friday for their respective church districts gives Edna Esh and three of her closest friends a chance to give to the Plain community and strengthen their bond with each other. Now, with the blessings of Christmas in the air, they may even whip up a recipe for love . . . With the holidays around the corner, Edna is busier than ever juggling baking with her business serving meals to Englische tourists. Thank goodness for Mary Ropp’s help—until she breaks her leg. Mary’s daughter, Bethany, is available to fill in, but Edna isn’t so certain. She knows Bethany is so painfully shy that she’s never even courted, never mind interacting with Englische tourists! But the remedy may be closer than they think . . . When Bethany gets into a scrape with her bicycle, a personable, talkative young man comes to her rescue, and even accompanies her home. And he’s none other than John Esh—Edna’s oldest son. When he stops by again the next day, Mary gets an idea. Soon, with the encouragement of the Cookie Club, Bethany is indeed helping Edna, and spending more time around the Esh household—and John. As Bethany slowly comes out of her shell, it seems she and John have much in common—maybe enough to inspire a winter wedding—and the club’s sweetest creation yet . . . Includes Cookie Recipes!
