Marie Bostwick's story is about family devotion, love and
quilting. The story is about Mary Dell and her family. They
live in a small town called Too Much Texas. Mary never
gives up on her dreams.
Marie Bostwick tells us about quilting. I have never
quilted, but after reading this book I might just have to
get some books and read up on it.
Mary Dell's dream was to be a wife and mother. Her dreams
come
true, but not without hardships along the way. Her family
all live together on the land that they own. Their family
always passes the land on to the women in the family.
The way that Marie Bostwick writes, makes you feel like you
are living all of the pain and happiness that Mary Dell and her
family go though. I was very inspired reading this book.
Everyone has their dreams and after reading this, it made me
feel like maybe mine could come true.
Marie's description of the people and the town, made me feel
like I lived right there with them. I myself have always
wanted to live in a small town. There is humor in this book
along with people who are rude to Mary Dell and her family.
They
hold their heads up high and don't really let it get to
them.
There were times in this book that I felt so bad for Mary Dell
that I wanted to cry. That is how great the writing is.
Marie's writing gets right to you heart and soul. Marie
makes you feel everything the characters are going though.
I did hope that some of the other conflicts in the story
were had worked out better. But it did not take away from
the story line at all. BETWEEN HEAVEN AND TEXAS is a great book. I will have to
keep my eye open for her other
books.
SUMMARY
In this luminous prequel to her beloved Cobbled Court Quilts
series, New York Times bestselling author Marie
Bostwick takes readers into the heart of a small Texas town
and the soul of a woman who discovers her destiny there. .
. Welcome to Too Much--where the women are strong-willed
and the men are handsome yet shiftless. Ever since Mary Dell
Templeton and her twin sister Lydia Dale were children,
their Aunt Velvet has warned them away from local boys. But
it's well known that the females in Mary Dell's family have
two traits in common--superior sewing skills and a fatal
weakness for men. While Lydia Dale grows up petite
and pretty, Mary Dell just keeps growing. Tall, smart, and
sassy, she is determined to one day turn her love of sewing
into a business. Meanwhile, she'll settle for raising babies
with her new husband, Donny. But that dream proves elusive
too, until finally, Mary Dell gets the son she always
wanted--a child as different as he is wonderful. And as Mary
Dell is forced to reconsider what truly matters in her
family and her marriage, she begins to piece together a life
that, like the colorful quilts she creates, will prove
vibrant, rich, and absolutely unforgettable. . .
