Jaime is a needy young woman who yearns for the love of her father while pushing away the obvious love of her husband. Mattie is a young Amish mother with a wonderful marriage and little boy who longs for more children. A few days before Christmas the worlds of these two women collide in an unforgettable Lancaster County Christmas,A
by Suzanne Woods Fisher. Jaime meets Mattie's family in a doctor clinic and finds herself running an errand to return a little Amish boy's owl whistle. Circumstances force Jaime and C.J. to postpone their plans to rendezvous with her father for a Christmas cruise. During their brief stay a search commences for the young boy and Jaime and Mattie discover they had more in common than they realized.This story is about healing and being content with the gifts God gives even if they don't align with desires. At first, the contrast between these two women is vast but as the book progresses, the gap begins to close. This book had multiple themes and stories within stories. I wasn't quite fond of the actions and emotions of Mattie's nephew, Zach or the fact that there were no chapters. I also never felt the urgency of the missing boy until right before he was found. But as the book ended I became endeared to all the characters and was glad to see how Jaime and Mattie responded to the blessings they were already given.

I've read books by Suzanne Woods Fisher and would love to read this one. I was actually looking for it at our library a couple of weeks ago, but couldnt find it. Thanks for the review!
