A Plain and Fancy Christmas by Cynthia Keller 2011

Do you really know who you are?

What would happen if you checked your mail today, opened a letter to discover that when you left the hospital you were given to the wrong parents?  That is just what happens to Rachel, a devoted Amish daughter and a mother of a young daughter and to Ellie, a highly successful public relations executive living in New York City.

Cynthia does a exceptional job of sharing their thoughts, trials, and tests as they discover the differences in their lives and what they might have been.  A can of worms is opened and the outcomes have eye opening effects on Rachel, Ellie and their families.

The book is well written, the chapters alternating from one perspective to the other.  Her characters are emotionally driven and easy to visualize.

The story seemed a little drawn out, but each chapter brought a new perspective to ponder.

A wonderful read for the Christmas season.
