About the book:
Emma takes her Amish
quilting class to the sunshine state.
Amish newlyweds, Lamar and Emma Yoder Miller seek warmer weather is Sarasota, Florida, and have
purchased a small house in the Pinecraft community. But Emma wishes her days
had more purpose than leisurely walks on the beach. Before long she is sending
back home for her supplies and advertising a quilting class.
Wounded and
hurting people have a knack for finding their way to Emma’s classes for some
quilting therapy: Jennifer, a pregnant new mom; Mike, a charter boat owner;
Erika, a wheelchair-bound teen; Kim, a waitress; Noreen, a newly retired widow;
and B.J. an artist facing illness. God will use Emma and Lamar on each of their
journeys toward healing frayed hearts.
And when Jan
Sweet visits from Indiana, a romantic twist is unexpectedly added to the class
dynamics.
My review:
A great story
about simply caring about and for others.
There is a full
cast of wonderful, well developed characters. Emma and Lamar Miller are so calm
and peaceful. They share their love of God in the simple things that they do
and easy way they open up to each person taking their quilting class. Each
student in the newest class arrives for the first class with a problem they are
facing. The Miller’s simple way of caring for each one helps them all to open
up before the 6 weeks are over.
The students all
have differing personalities and a variety of problems. I love the depth that
Wanda goes to in building up each one of them. The problems are slowly explored
and then sorted out.
It is a fantastic
book that drew me in and held my attention throughout the story. One of the
main attractions for me is the simple lifestyle that Emma and Lamar live and
the ease they have caring for so many different types of people.
I absolutely
loved this book and give it 5 stars. I highly recommend it.
