After a tornado rips through her town, store owner Abigail
comes across a piece of fabric from a wedding dress among
the devastation. Abigail is moved to start collecting other
swatches of fabric she finds – her neighbor’s kitchen
curtains, a man’s necktie, a dog’s bed – which she stashes
in shopping bags. As she pursues her seemingly absurd quest,
horrible realities spark the question, “What kind of a God
would allow such tragedy?â€
As she struggles to reconcile her right to happiness amidst
the destruction, Abigail begins piecing together a patchwork
quilt from the salvaged fabric in hopes it will bring some
peace. But a new relationship with Justin, a contractor, may
require too much of her fragile heart. Will her pain and
questions of faith give way to the courage to love?
I agree with Grace...this is a great book. Interesting enough that my 20 year old son read it too...Made me cry, him not so much! (Jill Foster 8:31pm September 22, 2012)
