The Amish Quilter
The Women of Lancaster County book 5
by Mindy Starns Clark & Leslie Gould
-From Amazon- A gifted young quilter... a successful artist... the life-changing revelation that threatens to tear them apart... Linda Mueller lives an orderly, uneventful existence, content to divide her time between creating the beautiful quilts for which she is known and working at an Englisch fabric shop. Idealistic to a fault, Linda has never found a man worth marrying—until she meets Isaac Mast, a newcomer to Lancaster County and a talented painter. As they bond over their respective crafts, Linda is drawn to Isaac's kind ways, humble spirit, and intriguing personality, and soon the seams of her carefully-constructed world begin to loosen. With Isaac's help, she explores the story of her late grandmother, also a gifted artist. But when an astonishing truth comes to light, Linda faces a grave decision, one that could destroy any hope of a future with Isaac. Will their dreams of a life together completely unravel? Or can she find some way to stitch them back together again? ISBN-13: 978-0736962940 Will her idealism mean a broken heart...? | This Book received a 4 Bark rating. |
Even better than I anticipated, The Amish Quilter was such a great read. I really identified with the heroine, Linda, which is actually pretty odd for me. I started out by keeping this book on my bedside table and read it for a few minutes when going to bed at night and waking up in the morning. It really didn't take long before the other book I was reading during the daytime got laid aside in favor of The Amish Quilter.
In this book Mindy Starns Clark & Leslie Gould bring a dash of realism that isn't always found in the Amish genre. Not every character has a sugary sweet happy ending but faith and hope, despite mistakes made, are what stand the test of time and the sometimes tough reality of life. Which, is a good reminder for all of us...
