The Angel of Forest Hill Cindy Woodsmall

Description:

A time of anticipation. A season of miracles.
Because of Joel’s impossible situation, twenty-one-year-old Rose must sacrifice everything. As days pass into years in the midst of the beautiful hills, the laughter of children, and God’s providence—is it too much for Rose to hope for love in return?

An amazing journey toward love and belonging, filled with the wonder of the season of Christ’s birth.
 
When Old Order Amish Rose Kurtz is asked to leave her family, travel deep into West Vir­ginia, and help Joel Dienner with his children in the wake of tragedy, the quiet young woman recognizes a home where she might find kindness instead of criticism and hope replacing harsh words. She agrees to stay in Forest Hill and become Joel’s wife for the sake of his family needs, but their marriage is to be a partnership, one built from need, not love and affection.
 
As the years pass, Rose continues to beckon Joel to join life again, to take joy in his growing children, and to awaken his heart to the possibility of new love. Joel hopes that Rose can move beyond deep-rooted hurts to see the beautiful Christmas ahead, their season. But will the arrival of a beautiful widow and a series of misunderstandings reverse how far Rose and Joel have come?

My thoughts on the book:

Rose is 21 and the decision is not hers to make she is being sent off to help a family in need, in a community of 8 families. When she arrives theres to be more going on the what was explain to her and she thrown into taking care of a new born, and two other children. Things seem to go away when it appears that Joel needs her to stay on as a partner but nothing more. Joel is heart broken of the loss of his one an only beloved. He has three kids to tend to and his father tells him he either needs to marry Rose or move on with life and figure out how to handle three kids on his own. He see no other choose but to marry her only in name alone. When four years later things go array and there marriage is not thrown into question and Rose and Joel are left wondering whats next. Will they be able to find what they are looking for or will this be the end for them?
Oh my goodness did I love this book, I started in at around midnight and could not put it down I needed to know what was going to happen. I loved Rose and her gentle spirit, she is broken on the inside and searching for healing and she loves deeply. I love how in this story while in some place it may have seemed rush the relationship between Joel and Rose and the kids seemed genuine and you felt you were getting a letter from a friend. I really had not problem with anything in this book. Its the sweetest love story and perfect for any time of year but perfect right now at Christmas with us being reminded what Christmas is all about. You seriously can not go wrong with this wonderful book.
