About The Christmas Remedy
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?

Beloved Amish Fiction Author Cindy Woodsmall Releases New, Cozy Christmas Novella
“The Christmas Remedy is an uplifting story of love and faith ideal for fans of Hallmark Christmas movies.” –Christian MARKET magazine
“I enjoyed this sweet story of a young Amish woman coming into her own, finding her place in this world and her surprise in discovering a young man who could love her just as she is, progressive ideas and all. The Christmas Remedy is a nice book to curl up with beside a glowing fireplace while indulging in a pot of tea and a plate of Christmas cookies.” –Tracey, GoodReads
Christmas fills the air in Cindy Woodsmall and Erin Woodsmall’s new novella: The Christmas Remedy: An Amish Christmas Romance (October 23, 2018, WaterBrook). With real-life connections to the Amish community and family relationships with licensed pharmacists, Cindy Woodsmall and Erin Woodsmall—mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo—have penned an endearing story where Amish romance and medical drama collide.
After Holly Noelle Zook, an Old Order Amish woman, lost her father to a preventable illness a decade ago, she became passionate about bringing modern medicine to her community. However, her unusual position as a pharmacy technician at Greene’s Pharmacy—a charming, old-timey drugstore—came with a condition from her bishop: she cannot marry and have a family if she chooses to work. Knowing she can only have one or the other, she spurns love and faithfully serves her Plain community.
When an unexpected crisis threatens to close the pharmacy’s doors forever, Holly must partner with Joshua Smucker, the only man she has ever been drawn to, to uncover the truth about a “missing” patient. If they solve the mystery, they can save her beloved pharmacy. But as the snows of December arrive, will Holly be able to extinguish the sparks between herself and Joshua before they ignite?
Ideal for fans of Hallmark movies, Amish fiction and heartwarming Christmas tales, readers will delight in bundling up by the fireplace with this uplifting story of love and faith.
