New from Quilts of Love | A Stitch and a Prayer
A quilt becomes a labor of love for a lonely wife mysteriously separated from her young husband.
After her fiancé returns from the Klondike gold rush in 1897, Florence Harms sets about building a new life in her new marriage—even though the lingering effects of illness have left her weak and vulnerable. She and her young husband, Will, work tirelessly to clear the land around their Northwest cabin, content with their modest life.
But then a stranger comes knocking and Florence suddenly senses a restlessness in Will’s spirit that she had never seen before. When he leaves her with only a note that tells her he will return before their baby’s birth, she is devastated, and the illness that stiffened her joints returns. Counting the days until Will walks back through her door, Florence busies herself with a Tree of Life quilt displaying a map of the farm they call home. Doubts claw at her heart as Florence struggles to believe Will’s promise to return to her. Will her labor of love-and faith in God—sustain her as she waits to see her beloved once again?

My Review: 

This was a beautiful story about a woman who married the love of her life. However he leaves and she is left home wondering if he is safe, or if the next knock on the door will be bad news. As she stitches her quilt she prayers for his safe return. How could he leave when his wife is pregnant? He promises to be home in time for the birth, but in the 1890's there is no phone to call home, no car to drive home, and definitely no way to ensure that he will keep his promise. It was interesting that she had faith in her husband even though he left without telling her where he was going. Not to mention the fact that she has chronic pain. I did not really like him, however there is a reason that he did what he did. However is it good enough to be forgiven? I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
