I thought this story was incredibly sweet and left the reader wanting to read more about the characters. The story was about finding courage to forgive someone for a past mistake and find love. This is a great quick read set around the holidays in two Amish towns. This story will not disappoint. I am hoping for another story on Mattie and where the next chapter of her life leads. I definitely recommend to others to read.

The Christmas Singing by Cindy Woodsmall is the newest book in this Amish series. It follows The Sound of Sleigh Bells and takes place several years later. The same characters come to life again in the newest book, which is set at Christmas time.
Mattie is the successful owner of Mattie Cakes and just loves to make folks happy by creating custom cakes and pastries. After Gideon broke her heart in Sleigh Bells she moved to live near her brother and opened the cake store. She still keeps the notebook that Gideon gave her as a young teenager and makes notes of all orders and ideas for cakes. She is with Sol, an Amish man who she know will never break her heart.
But a fire that destroys her cake shop and turns her life just up side down. She returns home for the holidays to help out her parents with the baking and attend 2 family weddings. So much has changed since she left. Is she still the same?
Great read for the busy holiday time, as the story is easy to follow and ends well.

I loved this book. It was a great easy read and brought back characters from her other books which I did not realize it would do. Great Christmas story.
I really enjoy the Amish books.
