The Cherished Quilt (An Amish Heirloom Novel) by Amy Clipston

 

My Thoughts: Amy Clipston is a favorite author of mine.  
Emily is a kind and generous young woman who feels that life is like a quilt and can be stitched together.  And it seems that quilting and Amish women go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Emily is anxious to meet her father's new employee, Christopher.  But when they first meet...it seems that an Christopher has an iceberg for a heart.  Poor Emily.  However, Emily is not deterred.
She feels that Christopher needs friendship and so she decides to make him a quilt.  
And then Christopher must leave and return to Ohio for some emergency....just when he and Emily might be having "feelings" for one another.  
I like the easy way this story reads.  And, yes, it is somewhat predicable, but I like it.  It makes for a great holiday read to warm one's heart and a reminder that everyone is going through something.  So, be nice to everyone you meet.
A great story and a would make a great gift for that reader on your list!

She is the author of the bestselling Kauffman Amish Bakery series with Zondervan, which is part of HarperCollins Christian Publishing.
