A heartwarming story with a little romance and mystery wrapped up with a Christmas bow.
An Amish woman working at the local pharmacy strives to bridge the gap between her community and their health care needs. However, someone is trying to close the pharmacy and end its service.

This was a well-written, steady paced story centering on people, family relationships, communication, and people's motivation to succeed. Caring about people more than profit or wealth was a dividing point. The main character, Holly, is an admirable young woman, focussed on her goals for education, and sacrificing her own future to serve others. Feeling alone and without options, she pushes away any possibilities for love. I liked how her conflict resolved once she trusted God more for His plans for her life. The traditions and values of the Amish community were interesting, and how their women aren't usually allowed to work outside the home. The details of how pharmacies run and the law seemed carefully researched, and gave a solid basis for the mystery.

Readers who enjoy stories based in the Amish community, with a bit of clean romance, should enjoy this one. 4.5 stars
