About this book:
“Tragedy tore Christopher’s world apart. But Emily believes there are enough pieces left behind to stitch together a beautiful new beginning.
Emily Fisher is eager to meet the new employee at her father’s shop in Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania. But when Christopher Hochstetler arrives, his cold demeanor freezes her attempts at building a friendship.
Longing for a fresh start, Christopher travels from Ohio to Bird-in-Hand to work at his uncle’s shop. Christopher’s heart is still wounded from memories of home, and making new friends is the last thing on his mind—he knows the pain that comes with losing those you love. When Emily is kind to him, he tries to remain distant, but he soon finds himself stealing glances at her throughout the day.
When Christopher shares his tragic reasons for leaving home, Emily decides to make a quilt for him as a gesture of their friendship. The two are quickly falling in love when a family emergency calls Christopher back to Ohio without warning.
Emily finishes the quilt, in spite of her pain. But when Christopher receives it, will he have the courage to follow his heart?”

Rating-
{Add ½ star
for those who have read the previous books in the series}
Reading an Amish Clipston book is
like cuddling with a fuzzy blanket and having a cup of tea—you have those warm,
fuzzy feelings in your chest. Every time I read a book by this talented author
I think “she’s done it again!”! Another sweet couple & their story. Because,
really, she does it wonderfully every time and “The Cherished Quilt” was no exception. I think this may even be my
favorite Amish novel by her yet! Emily is such a sweetheart and I felt so
connected to her. I just loved all the faith parts and goodness, that epilogue!
I’m so excited for the May 2017 when “The
Beloved Hope Chest”, the final book in this series (bittersweet!) comes
out.
See y’all on Monday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
*I received this book for
free from the author for this honest review.
