About the collection – Love’s Thankful Heart:
Gingerbread Wishes
As Thanksgiving approaches, Becca Troyer finds herself overwhelmed with an abundance of winter squash and pumpkins that she isn’t a bit thankful for. Desperately trying to sell them at a farmer’s market so she won’t have mountains to can, she’s surprised when a mime drops to his knee in front of her and proposes marriage.
Yost Miller is helping the volunteer firefighter raise funds at the city park when he notices his long-time crush Becca selling vegetables. Drawn across the grass, he spontaneously proposes marriage. But afterward, Yost isn’t sure how to proceed to show her that his feelings are real.
Just as he begins to find solid footing, confidence is yanked away, leaving him floundering. Will he lose Becca to another man? Or will this Thanksgiving be a season of blessings and wishes come true?
Thanksgiving Strangers
Faithe Beiler believes God wants her to feed the poor at her family’s restaurant, but when she mistakes Crist Petersheim for a homeless man and gives him a free breakfast, he’s offended. Yet he can’t help being intrigued by this pretty waitress with a giving heart.
Crist blames God for the tragedies in his life, so the last thing he wants is to get involved with an Amish girl, who trusts God in all circumstances. He fears for Faithe’s safety, though, when she invites every homeless person in the neighborhood, including drug dealers and criminals, to a free Thanksgiving dinner. Street savvy, Crist risks his life to protect her from danger.
As Crist’s heart softens toward God, Faithe finds herself falling him. Then she discovers his deception, and her world is shattered. Can she ever trust him again?
The Thanksgiving Frolic
Monroe has the prettiest girl and the fastest horse— but pride goes before a fall.
Monroe’s girlfriend, Rosemary, and her family organize the Thanksgiving Frolic, a service project to help Amish folks who have fallen on hard times. Monroe wants to go along but his dad won’t let him. Furthermore, Monroe’s dad thinks Rosemary’s family should clean up their own messy farm before they try to help others. Will the contrast between Monroe’s and Rosemary’s families end their relationship for good? Rosemary’s grandpa tries to offer words of wisdom, but people don’t take him seriously. The Thanksgiving Frolic heats up to a fever pitch, before a moment of silence changes everything.

Question for Readers: What is your favorite Thanksgiving family tradition?
Come back Nov 17th for Valerie Comer!
cooking dinner together then games afterwards
Happy Thanksgiving, Shelia and may your favorite team win .
Both sides of my family celebrate together at one big meal. It’s the best of both worlds.
Our family is so spread out that it is hard to get everyone together in the same place. As long as some of us are together, that is what makes a Family Tradition to me.
I love spending time with my family–that has to be my favorite family Thanksgiving tradition.
Would enjoy winning and reading this book.
I would love to win & read this book. Has to be paperback. Can’t get them to be downloaded. I am bed bound, so reading is my hobby & takes me places, to get mind off pain.
If ever have books to be reviewed & can send a copy, I would be happy to review them. Thanks for listening to my request.
Our family meets together at one of my sisters to eat together and then we exchange names for our Christmas gifts. Afterwards we get the newspaper with all of the ad specials out and pass the ads around which usually helps us get some ideas of what others are wishing for.
I have a winner! Becky Tarver won the drawing. I appreciate Laura for being my guest and everyone else for stopping by.
