But her grandmother has other plans.<\/p>\n<p>Sara Jane Morgan is trying to balance teaching with caring for her ailing, stubborn grandmother. When school lets out for the summer, the plans are for Grandma to teach Sara Jane to quilt as they finish up the Appalachian Ballad quilt Grandma started as a teenager. But things don\u2019t always go as planned.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Stevenson is hiding from his past\u2014and his future. He works as a handyman to pay the bills, but his heart is as an artisan, designing homemade brooms. When Sara Jane\u2019s grandmother hires him to renovate her home, sparks fly between Drew and his new employer\u2019s granddaughter.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it doesn\u2019t take Sara Jane long to see Drew isn\u2019t what he seems. Questions arise, and she starts researching him online. What she discovers could change her life\u2014and her heart\u2014forever.<\/p>\n<p>===================<br \/>\nAhh&#8230;this one made me laugh and it made me cry. As I turned each page, I just wanted everything to be okay. The pain in these people&#8217;s lives took my breath away as it returned me to a harder period of my own life. As with all of the Quilts of Love books that I&#8217;ve read so far, I couldn&#8217;t put this one down and I have a feeling that this is one that I&#8217;m going to return to more than once.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<i>I received a copy of this book for the purpose of this review..
