A Promise In Pieces
Quilts Of Love
by Emily T. Weirenga
| -From the back cover- 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 Corps. Fifty years since she promised to deliver a dying soldier's last wish. And fifty years since the 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. But when the trip doesn't go as planned, Clara wonders if anyone will learn the great significance of the quilt – and the promise stitched inside it. This story was by no means what I was expecting. I thought this would be a cutesy romantic WWII story. A Promise In Pieces was so much more than that! The story is in two sections and is from the perspective of an elderly woman on a road trip with her family, while traveling she tells her story to her grandson. Interspersed with her memories are events that happen on the road trip. There was a lot packed into this little book with less than 200 pages. One woman's lifetime of heartache and joy, the good memories and the bad. I loved how realistic the story is, Emily T. Weirenga has done and amazing job portraying that life isn't always easy and sometimes it can get pretty hard, but through it all the heroine learns the power of hope, forgiveness, love, and faith in a God that orchestrates it all. A Promise In Pieces is a real tearjerker but it is still full of hope and faith. |  . .

A Promise In Pieces is a good story to be read by people of all ages, young women like myself to great-grandmothers who have lived it themselves.
