The Washwoman's Christmas Kindle Edition

by Elaine Manders (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars (127)
With her husband away on a job until Christmas, newly-wed Amanda moves to the house they’ve inherited from his grandmother in order to prepare it for sale. In the isolated woods of northwestern South Carolina, her nearest neighbor is an elderly woman who holds onto a past way of life, even taking in wash to earn money for Christmas. As the two women work together to renovate the house, Amanda comes to realize the washwoman isn’t the eccentric kook she first thought, but a woman of wisdom and grace who helps Amanda face the demons of her past and find release from her present insecurities.

I'm a retired Air Force (civilian) accountant living in Warner Robins, Georgia. My interests are varied. I enjoy reading and writing Christian historical romances and inspirational commentary, golf, sewing, crocheting, knitting, politics, history, science and mathematics. I attend church regularly, and God is the center of my life. I'm proud of the good job my daughter is doing rearing my three wonderful grandchildren. God and my family make up the inner circle of my life, but I want to reach out with understanding and love to others.

    What a wonderful Christmas story! This is a very well written book that is full of love and emotion. This book would make a wonderful, heartwarming movie. I loved how Elaine Manders used this book to get the message of God's love and mercy across and how God already knows what is going to happen even though we don't. This is a book I will read more than once. It is very uplifting. I highly recommend this book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and Clean Christian Novella
    Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This sweet and clean Christian novella took a relatively simple plot and expanded it into a meaningful and faith-based book covering many facets touching upon family loss, neglect of the elderly and battered women. Somewhat different from her usual subject matter, this author, still using her descriptive analogies and local dialects, was able to intertwine all into an entertaining read.

    This was an incredibly heartwarming story. I feel in love with the characters and felt as if I knew them personally. Friendship and love touches so many people in this beautiful story. Claudia Mae showed so much of Gods love bringing peace to Amanda and her current situations. This book will make you smile and give you encouragement. I will definitely be reading more by Elaine Manders!

While getting the house her husband's grandmother lived in ready to sell , she meets Claudie Mae. Claudie Mae becomes a shining light for Amanda and she learns a lot about life from her. I enjoyed reading her journal entries. So if you want a feel good book that warms your heart this is it. Thanks Elaine I look forward to reading more of your books.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing story of friendship and faith!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I wasn’t sure what to expect when I began this book....beautiful cover, interesting title, and author I enjoy....but this story surpassed my expectations! I was delighted with the characters, the twists I didn’t see coming, and the satisfying ending.

    Amanda and Paul MacAllister have inherited his grandmother’s South Carolina house. Renovations are needed, and the country location may present a problem for the young couple plans to sell the property. Some secrets and misunderstandings cloud the future, but a quirky neighbor is there to guide them through difficult times.

    I highly recommend this touching story of friendship and faith.

    Favorite quote: I’m glad for the hype surrounding Christmas—commercial or religious. The message of Christmas must be proclaimed to the whole world. No matter how hard it tries, the world can’t take Christ out of Christmas. The meaning comes through to unbelievers and believers alike that we need a Savior, and God loved us enough to send one. Amanda’s journal

    4.0 out of 5 stars A charming Southern-style story
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The Washwoman’s Christmas is a charming story that is a departure from Elaine Manders usual writings, and brings to mind some of America’s classic southern literature. Evocative description and dialogue immersed me in the back woods of North Carolina as Claudie Mae befriends newlywed Amanda MacAllister who struggles to prepare her husband’s family home for sale in his absence. Claudie Mae’s warmth and wisdom was genuine and spoke to me on several occasions throughout the book. Having done extensive house renovations of my own, I found the speed at which Amanda finished the projects a little unrealistic, but made sense given the shorter length of the book. The tension of Amanda’s uncertainly about her husband’s love built throughout the story, I could feel her anxiety. When the situation reached crisis mode, I cried with her. Claudie Mae’s response was soothing and edifying without being preachy. I was able to finish the book in two sittings. As usual Ms. Manders does not disappoint.
