Cordelia Grace watched Bernard Howard, the love of her young
life, go off to fight for our country in WWII. And she has
spent the last three years creating the Pine Cone quilt that
will grace their marriage bed when he comes home. Each row
of triangles signifies a layer in her life, sets of
memories, hopes, dreams, and prayers for her future, enough
spoken words to cover them forever. Her image of their
“happy-ever-after†grows proportionally as the quilt
expands. But is the man that returns from the war, the same man that
she remembered? Are the dark shades of color that she had to
use for the outside edges of the beloved quilt prophetic of
her life to come? Can love and faith overcome all?

Re: Pieces Of The Heart
VERY PRETTY COVER THANKS SO MUCH
(Denise Smith 8:07am July 10, 2013)
Whenever I see an Author write a book that keeps past History alive, it makes me happy. Our children need to read books about what happened in prior wars. I love to read about that time period, but it's vitally important that this time period lives on. Thank you for recreating the quilt pattern as well. Your book has all the elements that I'm looking forward to in a book, and I have it on my TBR list for my Summer reading.

Love your post. The history is important!

I love how you recreated the quilt that had been a part of your family ... my father fought in the Korean War and came back changed as well. Even then, there were still a lot of problems when it came to black soldiers and, of course, no help for the psychological trauma that he withstood. Thanks so much for sharing your story.
(Julie Smith 10:21am July 10, 2013)
What a lovely post. I think of my own father--and his service in WWII--and it makes me all the more grateful and humbled by what these brave servants faced for the greater good Take care.

Your Pieces Of The Heart book sounds like the type of story I would very much like to read. I will be on the lookout for it. Love the cover. My dad served in the U.S. Navy during WWII before I was born, as did some of my uncles.

What a beautiful quilt in pine and earth colors. One of my
friends told me about quilts from the underground railroad
which were used as signals as to safe houses. I went to a
huge quilt show with another friend and we saw all kinds and
sizes of quilts hand or machine quilted. Such care is taken
making quilts from scraps or new material in different
shades.

(Darci Paice 11:49pm July 11, 2013)
Back then when our veterans come home, no one know the inner demons that they are trying to cope with. The worst thing is that they were not support by us or even received a warm homecoming welcome. I'm just glad that today's we try to do a little more than what we did back then. We still have a long way to go. Thanks for the giveaway.
