The Healing Quilt: A Review

This is the third in the Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club series by Wanda Brunstetter.

The first in the series is entitled Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club. The second is entitled The Tattered Quilt.

Emma and her husband Lamar who are from Indiana have decided to spend the winter in Florida. The cold Indiana winters are difficult for Lamar.

They are able to purchase a small home in the Pinecraft community. And after a few weeks Emma decides to teach a quilting class as she and Lamar have done previously in Indiana.

Wounded and hurting people have a knack for finding their way to Emma’s classes for some quilting therapy: Jennifer, a pregnant new mom; Mike, a charter boat owner; Erika, a wheelchair-bound teen; Kim, a waitress, Noreen, a newly retired widow; and BJ, an artist facing illness. God will use Emma and Lamar on each of their journeys toward healing frayed hearts.

And when Jan Sweet visits from Indiana, a romantic twist is unexpectedly added to the class dynamics.

If you enjoy a good story and how the interaction around a shared objective (in this case quilting) can offer a wonderful opportunity for people to heal from their hurts, you will like this story. The author ties this story in with the previous in this series, so I recommend reading all three of them in order. However, one could enjoy any one of them as a stand-alone read.

The ISBN for The Healing Quilt is: 978-1-61626-087-3. Check with your favorite book store or check with an online venue such as Amazon.com.
