At the same time, she grapples with her growing feelings for Matt, whose position with her is only temporary. Can she find a way to bring harmony to Hickory Hollow in time for Christmas? "Englisch and Amish worlds collide in this endearing Christmas novella from Lewis. … This is sure to fill readers' hearts with holiday cheer."—Publishers Weekly
