Quilts of Love
Every Quilt Has A Story
SUMMARY: Taryn is keeping a secret she never should have kept.
You're needy. Manipulative. You used me. In Taryn McKenna's last conversation with high school sweetheart Justin Callahan, his angry words rooted themselves deeply into her heart. After Justin abandons her to join the army, Taryn vows to never love again. And she decides to keep a closely guarded secret from him - forever.
Focused on being completely independent, Taryn pours herself into teaching high school in Hollings, North Carolina, and helping her spunky Grandma Jemma. But when Jemma's health takes a turn for the worse and Justin reappears, Taryn's emotions get more tangled than a knotted piece of thread.
A hand-stitched Irish chain quilt holds the message of healing Taryn needs. But will she realize the depth of God's unconditional love for her?
REVIEW: This novel drew me in from the very beginning. I think we all can relate to feelings of inadequacy and loss, and Taryn's story could help you find some comfort. Taryn is a strong woman who is determined to never be considered needy again. I think she takes after her Grandma Jemma who is determined to do things on her own terms and not let anything get her down or stop her from doing what she wants. One of my favorite parts is when Justin helps Taryn work on a family quilt for Taryn's cousin. I also like the healing that takes place in Taryn's life and how Taryn and Justin's relationship was not rushed after they start admitting they were attracted to each other.
