Women's Fiction Contemporary | Inspirational

A small gift, a simple promise, a life forever changed

It’s been more than fifty years since Clara cared for injured WWII soldiers in the Women’s Army Corp. Fifty years since she promised to deliver a dying soldier’s last wish. And fifty years since that soldier’s young widow gave her the baby quilt—a grief-ridden gift that would provide hope to countless newborns in the years to come. On her way to the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, Clara decides it’s time to share her story. Little does she know she will re-gift the quilt one more time—to a recipient who, perhaps, is most deserving of all.

Re: A Promise In Pieces

What a touching and heartbreaking story! I'm so glad that you found redemption in writing and the true meaning of beauty, but so sorry it required such a painful path. Looking forward to reading your latest.

What a heartrending story. Your life has been filled with
trials and tribulations but you are strong and have now
written a wonderful book. Best wishes.

Although I didn't move to different countries, nor was I homeschooled, I can relate to your story, and my heart aches for you more than you realize!! I can't go into detail here, but know the sadness inside growing up, and wish that I lived closer so that we could get together and talk over coffee. I'm thrilled that you wrote your book, because I also did some work for the National World War II Museum, and will continue to do so. This story holds so much meaning to me, that it's going straight to the top of my TBR list!! Thank you for bringing such a great Organization to light, as well as keeping History alive!! I'll be looking forward to reading your book!!

I am glad you made it. Keep going.
Just finished a book in which a hankie needed to be given back
to the wife of a Civil War soldier who died. He had carried it
into war.
Appreciate the giveaway.

There is something about a hand-made quilt. It has history with every patch and stitch sown together to form a quilted blanket. I just love stories that have a quilt in it. There is always a story with a quilt to tell.
