A New York Times Bestseller!
An Amish widow’s quilt classes lead to beautiful life
lessons.
As Amish widow Emma Yoder contemplates the task ahead, her thoughts
center on one: What if she fails? Longing to remove a burden from
her family by becoming self-sufficient, Emma has offered to hold
quilting classes in her home. But when she sees the patchwork of
faces assembled for the first lesson, her confidence dwindles as
doubt takes hold.
There’s Star Stephens, a young woman yearning for stability; Pam
and Stuart Johnston, a struggling couple at odds in their marriage;
Paul Ramirez, a widower hoping to find solace in finishing a quilt;
Jan Sweet, a rough and tough biker doing creative community
service; and Ruby Lee Williams, a preacher’s wife looking for
relaxation amid mounting parish problems.
While Emma grows to realize her ability to share her passion for
quilting and her faith, the beginning quilters learn to transform
scraps of fabric into beauty. And slowly, their fragmented lives
begin to take new shape—some in unexpected ways—with the helping
hands of each other and the healing hand of God.
