A Christmas in Lancaster County By Suzanne Woods Fisher

According to Good Reads:

Jaime and C. J. Fitzpatrick began their married life as most couples do--in love and looking forward to a bright future together. But four years later they've drifted apart and are almost ready to call it quits.
Mattie Riehl was hoping to give her husband Sol the Christmas gift they have both longed for--news that a baby was on the way. But as usual, she is disappointed. The holidays bring an acute awareness to Mattie that her dream of a big family isn't likely to become a reality.
Then a winter storm raging outside blows the Fitzpatricks into the Riehl home--and into a much slower pace of life. Can these two couples from different worlds help each other understand the true meaning of love this Christmas?
With her trademark plot twists and attention to detail, Suzanne Woods Fisher offers readers a beautiful Christmas story of love, forgiveness,      and what truly matters in life.

I thought this book was AMAZING! I can relate to both women in the story. I know what it's like to have a hard time conceiving. I also know the troubles that arise within a marriage. This story put love to the test. It turns out having faith not only in yourself but in God, can make a huge impact. Sometimes all the luxuries end up making others miserable and the simple things in life make you happy.

I give this book 5/5!

I think any time Amish is combined with Christmas you just get a winning story! I look forward to reading this one.
