The Angel of Forest Hill: An Amish Christmas Romance
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
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?

Bestselling novelist Woodsmall (Hope Crossing) returns this holiday season with another Amish story about finding unexpected love in the face of tragedy. Rose Kurtz works hard but feels she can never live up to her Mamm’s expectations, so when the bishop of her community asks her to move from Pennsylvania to help a grieving father in rural West Virginia, she gladly agrees. Joel Dienner, still deep in mourning after his wife’s unexpected death, reluctantly lets Rose care for his newborn daughter and two young sons. They marry a week later to avoid wagging tongues, and three years pass as they create a strong bond over the children. Rose slowly heals from her wounding childhood and Joel begins to feel again, but they may not be able to get past the hurdles that threaten what could become a real romance. The story builds quietly as Woodsmall focuses on the tough minutiae of forging a new life when original expectations fail to materialize. Woodsmall’s many readers will love this well-written, ruminative story that will be a welcome respite from holiday busyness and stress.
