About this listen
Can they find a way to stitch their suffering into hope and embrace an uncertain future?
Tally Smucker’s quiet life of reading and quilting hides her sorrow over her mother’s declining health and the lack of a fulfilling future for herself. When her daily life is shaken by her free-spirited neighbor Danielle - who grew up Plain but joined the Army at 18 - Tally’s instinct is to distance herself.
Yet she finds she can’t turn away when Danielle’s brother, Kenan, specifically asks for her help. She invites Danielle to visit Plain Patterns quilt shop with her, where the story of the plight of a WWI soldier and the girl he left behind resonates with both Tally and Danielle, but for different reasons.
When Tally’s mother suffers a setback at the same time Danielle’s PTSD becomes unmanageable, it seems Tally’s efforts to aid them only make things worse. Can the soldier’s story, along with the care of Kenan, help Tally accept the hope that waits just around the corner?
From the talented pen of Leslie Gould comes a moving tale of restoration and renewed hope within the Amish community.

Lia Shetler is resigned to being a spinster. She's too tall and sturdy to ever be marriageable - so says her overbearing dad. Instead, she's helping her pretty, spoiled sister, Rachel, secure the perfect husband - the Helmuths' grandson, Moses Zimmerman. But the more Lia sees of his gently teasing ways and quiet understanding, the more she wishes that Moses could be hers alone.

However, the sisters' wealthy father has made one hard and fast rule: Elder sister must marry first, before the younger can even start courting.

The author is brilliant. You're actually getting 2 stories for the price of 1. I will not spoil it. I love this series.
Stina Neilson is one of my favorite narrators. You can't go wrong with her narrations. Looking forward to the next book.

Another great read from Leslie Gould
I enjoyed this book because in a way it was historical, bringing World War 1 and the Iraq War into the story line. The parallel of lives of the characters was most interesting. I found the book believable and thoroughly enjoyed it. And once again Stina Nieslen does a great job!
