About
the book:
Sara
doesn't think she wants love. But her grandmother has other plans.
Sara
Jane Morgan is trying to balance teaching with caring for her ailing,
stubborn grandmother. When school lets out for the summer, the plans
are for Grandma to teach Sara Jane to quilt as they finish up the
Appalachian Ballad quilt Grandma started as a teenager. But things
don't always go as planned.
Andrew
Stevenson is hiding from his past---and his future. He works as a
handyman to pay the bills, but his heart is as an artisan, designing
homemade brooms. When Sara Jane's grandmother hires him to renovate
her home, sparks fly between Drew and his new employer's
granddaughter.
Still,
it doesn't take Sara Jane long to see Drew isn't what he seems.
Questions arise, and she starts researching him online. What she
discovers could change her life---and her heart---forever.
My
review:
This
is another fun romance in the Quilts of Love series. Drew and Sara
are both tragic characters. Neither of them feel they are worthy of
love. How they overcome those feelings makes for a good plot. Drew is
a committed Christian but Sara has given up on her faith. How Sara
comes to faith is another good part of the plot.
The
character in the novel that troubled me was Grandma. She was a sweet
woman but suffering from the beginning stages of dementia. She has
mood changes that were disconcerting. I felt that aspect of the novel
wasn't really cleared up in the end.
This
is a nice addition to the series. I am always amazed when I read
about yet another style of quilt. The one in this novel is based on a
song.
I
am taking part in a blog tour of this book and you can read more
