Quilted by Christmas by Jodie Bailey was such a sweet story. I really enjoyed this story just like I have with others in this series. I did find parts of this book predictable but I think that just comes from reading so many books that it is hard to shock me. Even with that being said I really did enjoy this book. I loved the characters and the authors style of writing. I can’t wait to check out more books by this author because she writes amazingly.
About The Book
A grandmother’s last wish is to communicate God’s love through an Irish chain quilt.
Taryn McKenna believes she’s easy to forget. Abandoned by her parents and left behind when her high school sweetheart joined the army, she vows to never love again and throws herself into her love for the outdoors and the pursuit of a college degree—something no one else in her family has ever accomplished. Her goal, as a young teacher in the hills of North Carolina, is to leave a legacy in the lives of the middle-schoolers she teaches.
When Taryn’s grandmother Jemma, the only other person who ever held her close, has a heart attack that reveals a fatal medical condition, Taryn is corralled into helping Grandma work on a final project—an Irish chain quilt that tells the story of her history and the love Jemma knows is out there for Taryn. As the pieces of the quilt come together, Taryn begins to see her value. Can she learn to believe that God will never leave her behind even though others have?
