About this audiobook

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.

This was such a nice story, full of emotions and real-life issues. I loved how the women got together to quilt and visit and as they did they "went back in time" to hear a story that that happened to an Amish man as he leaves his home to serve in the military during WWI and leaves behind his conscientious objector status and becomes a soldier despite what is expected of him as a Plain man. As Jane reads Amos's letters to her friends, Danielle, Tally, her mother and little Maggie, the letters come to be something they looked forward to and had to couldn't wait to continue to see how the story turned out. Tally is a caregiver to her mother and she and Danielle, a Plain woman who also joined the military, find some ties that bind them into one another's lives. The story is very moving and touching with lots of feels that you won't want to miss. I really enjoyed this book so much. I understood Tally's stage of life as a caregiver and know personally the struggles this brings. I highly recommend this story. I received a copy of this book from the author and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
