Although detective Julian Frazier is working hard on the case, Sophia unknowingly frustrates him because her inability to speak thwarts her eyewitness evidence. The fact that Julian is undeniably attracted to Sophia doesn&#8217;t help either, so Julian hides his feelings as concern for a trauma victim and focuses instead on finding the killer.<\/p>\n<p>Little do they know, the clues to solving the case may be right in front of them, displayed in Sophia&#8217;s mother&#8217;s &#8220;special&#8221; quilt design. Who will realize the secret Sophia&#8217;s unwittingly been hiding in plain sight? When the truth comes to light, will Sophia find her voice again? Or will the murderer&#8212;still at large&#8212;silence her forever?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t miss the newest <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quiltsoflovebooks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Quilts of Love<\/a> book, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quiltsoflovebooks.com\/products\/36\/Hidden-in-the-Stars\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Hidden in the Stars<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robincaroll.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Robin Caroll.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>September&#8217;s QOL release is&nbsp;a&nbsp;wonderful combination of mystery, romance, and family love bound together by a quilt and the story it tells.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/prmo.me\/WQmW3z\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Hidden in the Stars Robin Carroll Quilts of Love\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12975\" src=\"http:\/\/litfusegroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/qol-hiddenstars-400-click.jpg\" height=\"325\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><strong>Enter to win a &#8220;Night on the Town&#8221; (a $200 Visa cash card!) and RSVP for the &#8220;Fall into Fall&#8221; Quilts of Love Facebook party on 10\/7.<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>One winner will receive:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A&nbsp;$200 Visa cash card <em>(The perfect accessory for a &#8220;night on the town&#8221;!)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>A Grand Design<\/em>&nbsp;by&nbsp;Amber Stockton<\/li>\n<li><em>Hidden in the Stars<\/em> by&nbsp;Robin Caroll<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Enter today by clicking one of the icons below.

I tossed it into my backpack on errand day, knowing I would bit sitting around during oil changes and tire changes. Once I started reading it, I actually wished these things took longer than they did! Sophia&#8217;s strength during such a horrible time drew me in and the way that Julian and Charlie come to her aid, far beyond what their job entailed, made me feel a spark of hope for humanity. Even if you&#8217;re not a fan of quilting, I can&#8217;t see how you can&#8217;t be a fan of this book.<\/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.
