Review
I have always loved Wanda's Amish fiction but this one was the most thought provoking that she has written for a long while, in my opinion. Wanda has used her knowledge of the Amish to its greatest advantage, while bringing in Englishers to enhance her storyline.
Wanda has a complete surprise at the conclusion of her book, which totally shocked me. Her talent is outstanding in keeping you engrossed in the many changes in her plot and her character development.

A feel-good novel with memorable characters that come together in the most unlikely place and discover things about themselves they would never have known if not for the others. Brunstetter has outdone herself with this novel. Reading it is pure fun. Even though the characters have problems, they learn to overcome them and become the people God wants them to be.

This is an endearing tale about turning around the troubles in our lives and making good come from them. It is a story about letting past hurts shape who we are today and seeking forgiveness from those we truly love. This group of “half-stitched” quilters will truly touch your heart and give you plenty to think about. Don’t miss this one!

Amish widow Emma Yoder decides to conduct lessons on how to quilt- so she put notices around of her classes. First Star Stephens a troubled young girl- finds her grandmother had signed her up for the quilting lessons just days before she had died. Star decides as a tribute to her grandmother to go on and take the quilting lessons. Jan Sweet a big - tough biker- has been in trouble with the law- driving under the influence. Jan Sweet is on probation and his probation officer recommends to Jan that he find a creative outlet. When Jan sees Emma's quilting classes advertised he signs up. Then we have Pam and Stuart Johnson - a married couple with problems. Pam feels Staurt doesnt spend enough time doing things with her that she likes. She makes a deal with Stuart- if he goes to the quilting classes with her- she will go camping with him (Which Pam absolutely hates camping)!!! Ryby Lee WIlliams signs up for the quilting class because she feels kinda restless- her husband is a preacher and Ruby Lee thinks that maybe quilting will be a way to release her problems and emotions she is going through!!! Then last of all we have Paul Ramirez- who is a widower- left with a small baby (11 months old)!! Paul had a quilt for his little girl that his wife had started before she was killed in an accident. Paul takes the quilting class - first thinking he would just go long enough to find someone to finish the quilt for him!! Paul quickly discovers he would rather take the classes and finish the quilt himself!!!
Such an odd assortment of people lead to quite a site!!! However Emma Yoder feels a connection with each and everyone of her quilting students!!! The students soon find out not only does Emma Yoder know how to quilt bus she has some good advice to offer as well!!!
