After she finds her childhood sweetheart Gideon with an Englischer women, Mattie, with a broken heart leaves her home town of Apple Ridge to move to Ohio where she starts a new life and pursues her dream and starts her own business...Mattie Cakes.  She finds joy in designing edible creations to help people make memories on the special days of their lives.  She also is now in a "safe" relationship with Sol.  After tragedy strikes Mattie is forced to move back to Apple Ridge.

Now, back in Apple Ridge she comes face to face with Gideon.  She finally learns the truth of what really happened.  Will she forgive Gideon of the lies and meet him at the Christmas Singing or will she remain with Sol and travel back to Ohio for the Christmas Singing there?

I absolutely LOVED this book!   It is a short book and a fast read.  I finished it in one day.  Once I started I couldn't put it down.  Cindy Woodsmall has a way of portraying the characters in her books in such a way were you can instantly connect with them.   I loved the character of Mattie and Gideon pulled at my heart strings.  This is the perfect book to read on a cold day with a cup of hot chocolate all cozied up under a blanket.  You're sure to love it too!
