Naomi King is a 24 year old maedel who has given up on love. She has had her heart broken twice and has resigned to think love is out of her reach. The rumor mill has painted her as a too-eager woman who liked to chase the boys. She believes that she will work for the family quilting business and help care for her family for the rest of her life. Until one day she meets Caleb Schmucker and his adorable eight -year old, Susie. Caleb is dealing with his own emotions as Christmas Eve marks the second anniversary of his wife Barbara’s death. Naomi is instantly drawn to Caleb and Susie. Will they be able to open their hearts for a second chance at love? This is a beautifully written Christmas novella, full of hope, and finding the courage to love again. You will fall in love with little Susie! I enjoyed this book, and I am definitely going to read more about Naomi’s younger years in The Kauffman Amish Bakery series. Big thumbs up!
