Feel Good Story
I got this book via audiobook boom. This is a story of how God can use circumstances and our own assumptions to bring about true healing and stronger love. Mattie runs away after assuming that her husband is cheating and she goes back home to her father's house. She parted ways with him ten years before because she did not want to follow his edicts. Her best friend Elizabeth and her husband Carson who is best friends to Richard spearhead the issue of not allowing the marriage to dissolve. God uses this to bring not only Mattie in line but her father as well. All three families are united in the end.

Christmas in Paradise
Christmas in Paradise: Amish by Accident Trilogy, Book 3
: J.E.B. Spredemann
This is the conclusion of the series. Will relationships be mended, or will lives move in different directions?
The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed.Kay L. Dees reading was way too slow for my taste. I put it on my Kindle and doubled the speed to make it more listenable for me.
