Quilted By Christmas is book twenty-two in the Quilts
of Lov Series
QUILTED BY CHRISTMAS is an old-time love story with a
time-honored
plot that when you finish reading, will leave you with a
smile on your face.
Taryn McKenna grew up knowing her dad viewed her as an
inconvenience
in a marriage he was trapped in. When history began
repeating itself, her
dad wouldn't allow her to do what would have been right.
Taryn finds out
that her ex boyfriend is back in town. Taryn's highschool
sweetheart,
Justin, is back and the plots thickens as we find a secret
has been held
from him.
Combining a spunky grandmother, an army hero, and a sweet
high school
teacher, QUILTED By CHRISTMAS is the story of a broken
high school
romance that is rekindled between a hero's return, a
heroine's redemption,
and a grandmother's love demonstrated through an Irish
chain quilt. When
Taryn discovers the quilt her Grandma has been working on
for a wedding
to be given to the bride, has been ruined she sets out to
put the discarded,
started quilt in the attic together. Little does she know
what that quilt
symbolizes. As she and Justin work together quilting this
quilt for the
upcoming Christmas time wedding, neither knows the
unexpected turn their
lives will take, both literally and symbolically.
QUILTED BY CHRISTMAS is an enjoyable story of family and
traditions,
love, friendships, and regrets. The setting of the
Christmas season and the
making of a special quilt add to the warm, comfortable
feeling of home and
family. While quilting is a theme in the book, it is not
overly abundant or so
overwhelming that a non-quilter wouldn't enjoy reading it.
This is an easy-
read and one that you can curl up in a big chair with a
blanket and a
fireplace and just enjoy every word. I have enjoyed all
books that I have read so far. Every time I read a new of
the Quilts of Love one I think this is my
favorite. Well, guess what? QUILTED BY CHRISTMAS is my
favorite!
Taryn McKenna believes she’s easy to forget. Abandoned by
her parents and left behind when her high school sweetheart
joined the army, she vows to never love again and throws
herself into her love for the outdoors and the pursuit of a
college degree—something no one else in her family has ever
accomplished. Her goal, as a young teacher in the hills of
North Carolina, is to leave a legacy in the lives of the
middle-schoolers she teaches.
When Taryn’s
grandmother Jemma, the only other person who ever held her
close, has a heart attack that reveals a fatal medical
condition, Taryn is corralled into helping Grandma work on a
final project—an Irish chain quilt that tells the story of
her history and the love Jemma knows is out there for Taryn.
As the pieces of the quilt come together, Taryn begins to
see her value. Can she learn to believe that God will never
leave her behind even though others have?
