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.
