Type: paperback
Tally Smucker's quiet world is shaken when her neighbor Danielle--who grew up Plain but joined the army--returns in need of a friend. Tally invites Danielle to join her quilting circle, and they are both inspired by a story told of a WWI soldier. But when disaster hits Tally's family and Danielle's PTSD becomes unmanageable, can they find the hope they need?
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 eighteen--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.
