My Review: This was such a great read, short, sweet and relatable.  I was curious about this book when I saw that Cindy Woodsmall was one of the authors as she writes so many Amish novels and this is such a change and also her co-writing this.  I love how we get the history on Hadley and Monroe and the situation and then how things are for each of them 10 years later when they once again come into contact through a mutual contact for work.  This story is a quick read, but it is so full of heart and depth as far as the characters.  Some heavier topics are addressed and the characters are easy to relate to.  This is a great read and a sweet story as an escape during the busyness of the Christmas season.
