A Match Made at Christmas by Patricia Davids
A Match Made at Christmas by Patricia Davids,
book two in The Matchmakers of Hart Haven series, deals with the uncertainty
of life having faith, and trust. This is the story of a young woman, who feels
she has a death sentence, trying to get away from the pity she feels from those
that know her and a grieving widower with two young daughters.
Rose Yoder, a self proclaimed matchmaker, has that gleam in her eye again. Her next match will be for Karl Graber, a widower who is still hurting
from the loss of his beloved wife. Rose has chosen the woman for him, but the
secret Sophie Eicher, a breast cancer survivor, is keeping may be too much for anyone to
overcome. Karl has two young daughters as well as
his farm and the hardware store. He needs help, but Karl is not ready to open
his heart again. Sophie
and her sister, Joanna, are new to Harts Haven. Sophie has been hired as the
new schoolteacher. On Sophie’s
first day of school there is quite a commotion
in her classroom, when unwanted guests, people and animals, arrive. After that
chaos is calmed, she learns that the main thing on the mind of parents and the
community is what she has plans for the Christmas Program, an important part of
this Amish community’s lives. With only weeks until Christmas, Sophie has her
work cut out for her. With the help of Karl’s older daughter, Karl and the
community, an entertaining Christmas play is planned; including live animals
from within the town. The play did an excellent job of capturing the true meaning of Christmas. Love has the power to heal,
if you let it and that is exactly the experience Sophie and Karl find. A Match
Made at Christmas is a spirited Christmas tale with a meddling matchmaker,
galloping goats, a delightful dog, burned bread, a determined donkey, pageant
problems, and a cozy Christmas, along with some humor sprinkled throughout. I
highly recommend A Match Made at Christmas to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a
complimentary copy of this book.
