Book Review: The Christmas Singing by Cindy Woodsmall

The Christmas Singing: A Romance from the Heart of Amish CountryThe Christmas Singing: A Romance from the Heart of Amish Country by Cindy Woodsmall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Christmas Singing another wonderful book by Cindy Woodsmall. The book is a clean read about the Amish community of Apple Ridge and two people who must find forgiveness of themselves, others and even God. Mattie an absent minded forgetful Amish woman is broken hearted over her love since childhood Gideon, who she catches with an Englisher woman on Christmas Eve which is also her birthday. She moves to Berlin, Ohio and opens up her own business Mattie Cakes. She thinks she has found happiness in her thriving business and her new beau Sol. She isn't romantically in love with Sol but he is safe and would never break her heart the way Gideon did. Gideon is hiding a deep and deadly secret from his whole Amish community, his reason for allowing Mattie to believe he was in love with an English woman and cheating on her. He tries hard to keep the secret but he always fears that the illness that took his English friend, the one Mattie caught him with, will take his life as well. When Absent minded Mattie's, cake shop burns to the ground, possibly at her own forgetful hand, she moves back home to Apple Ridge and is faced with Gideon. Will she be able to forgive herself for possibly leaving her journal on the wood stove, and forgive Gideon for breaking her heart and be able to become his friend or maybe more... Read this awesome book by Cindy Woodsmall and find out.
