Book Summary
As the most joyous of seasons comes to the Amish community of Wells Landing, Oklahoma, one young woman gets a chance to start again--and rediscover the gift of true love . . . Families rejoicing together, caroling parties full of cheer, and church get-togethers brimming with delicious cooking and warm fellowship. Ivy Weaver would give anything to be a part of Christmas in Wells Landing. But one reckless mistake made her an outsider, and it's all she can do now to tend to her ailing grandfather and make a living. She sure doesn't need Zeb Brenneman returning to help after he abandoned her for no reason. He's working hard to make amends, but Ivy isn't sure there's enough faith--or still-sparking love between them--to stir her forgiveness . . . Zeb knows leaving Ivy was the biggest mistake he's ever made. Even though she won't hear him out, he's determined to prove he's become the trustworthy, steadfast man she truly deserves. But bright new chances and surprising revelations will give him and Ivy choices they never imagined. And finding their way back to each other will be the most challenging--and precious--Christmas gift of all . . .
My Review
This book kept me up reading it til after 2 a.m. last night. I really couldn't stop turning the pages as I read Ivy and Zeb's story. This is a very appealing story that has all the warm fuzzy feelings of Christmas with the elaborately delicious dinners to the garland and warm fellowship. I was invested in the book and felt as though Ivy was a friend sharing tea and pie with me while we talked over her worries and fear of being accepted by the community. There are so many layers of this book like a delicious dessert the further I read the better it gets. This is by far my favorite Amy Lillard book it left me with a great feeling and I feel like just hugging the book! Hmmm, would that be like hugging the characters, after all a book is not just a book the characters become family! The ending was superb and I really hope to see Ivy,Zeb and Dawdi in a future book.
