Description:
When an Old Order Amish woman takes a job at a small-town pharmacy struggling to survive in a world of "big box" stores, her motive is to help her Plain community. But the advent of the holiday season brings an unusual mystery to the surface--and possibly love.
Twenty-four-year-old Holly Zook lives a unique life for a young Amish woman. Years ago, her bishop allowed her to continue her education and become the lead technician for Greene's Pharmacy, an old-timey drugstore that looks out for the Amish community--a group largely without secure healthcare plans. She knows she can't marry and hold onto her professional job. She's Amish, and she can only have one or the other, so she spurns love and works toward addressing treatable diseases--like the one that claimed her father's life.
As long as Holly continues to avoid Joshua Smucker, the one man who draws her like a warm hearth in winter, she should be fine. When something unexpected threatens Greene's Pharmacy, Holly and Joshua must work together to unravel what's happened and find the "missing" patient before the Board of Pharmacy shuts them down. As the snows of December arrive, with Christmas in the air, will Holly succumb to the generous spirit of the season?
My thoughts on the book:
This book is what I would call a novella it is about 200 pages, but don't let that stop you from reading this fun book that has all of punch too it. I really enjoyed the twist in the story. I was not really a fan of Brandon at first he seem to have this thing about him, but by the end he just grew on me. I loved Holly and Lyle's relationship they come from two different worlds but they are equally important to the town and too each other. I loved Ivy oh my gosh she is a pistol and I hope one day the authors have plans for her story, I just loved her and her personality just jumps off the pages. This book is a good clean read and it totally puts you in the mood for the holiday season full of helping those around us but loving on those close to us.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion.
