Genre: Amish romance novella

This Christmas, experience learning to trust alongside the Plain folk of Apple Ridge, Pennsylvania in this heart-warming tale of second chances.

Sadie enjoys her freedom away from home and her mission trips to Peru, but after four years, her Old Order Amish family insists it’s time to come home and settle down. Levi, a bachelor who distrusts women after a family heartbreak, also has no desire for romance.

To keep their families from meddling in their lives, Sadie and Levi devise a plan—but soon discover that the walls around their hearts are breaking down. Can they let go of their prejudices, learn to trust each other, and embrace a future together?

I absolutely loved this book – and am thrilled to have read the stories of the rest of the characters mentioned in the book. Ms. Woodsmall is a stellar Amish author and I love her books.

Levi and Sadie are both hurting, distrusting of the opposite sex, and both with good reason. They don’t deliberately set out to deceive—at least not at first.  I did see the black moment coming from the very beginning, and it was just as hurtful as I imagined.

If you like romance, Amish, and Christmas stories, don’t miss THE DAWN OF CHRISTMAS. Great book.
