A Stitch and A Prayer by Eva Gibson

Book Review Graphic

A Stitch and A Prayer by Eva Gibson is another book in the Quilts Of Love series. I had high hopes for this book because I have loved all the others that I have read in this series but this one didn’t work for me and to be honest I am not sure why. I liked the characters and did like the basis of the story but all I can think is that it was the authors writing that for some reason didn’t work for me. To be honest this one of the hardest times I have had to finish the book. I love this series of books and I hope that the next book is better than this book.

A Stitch and a Prayer

About The Book

A quilt becomes a labor of love for a lonely wife mysteriously separated from her young husband.
After her fiancé returns from the Klondike gold rush in 1897, Florence Harms sets about building a new life in her new marriage—even though the lingering effects of illness have left her weak and vulnerable. She and her young husband, Will, work tirelessly to clear the land around their Northwest cabin, content with their modest life.
But then a stranger comes knocking and Florence suddenly senses a restlessness in Will’s spirit that she had never seen before. When he leaves her with only a note that tells her he will return before their baby’s birth, she is devastated, and the illness that stiffened her joints returns. Counting the days until Will walks back through her door, Florence busies herself with a Tree of Life quilt displaying a map of the farm they call home. Doubts claw at her heart as Florence struggles to believe Will’s promise to return to her. Will her labor of love-and faith in God—sustain her as she waits to see her beloved once again?

Somebody Like You by Beth Vogt

Book Review Graphic Somebody Like You by Beth Vogt was a fun book to read. I did spend a lot of time feeling bad for the character but at the same time I didn’t want to put the book down once I started it. I am not sure what it is about Beth’s writing that captures me so much but it does and I wasn’t let down by this book. In this book you go along with Haley as she struggles to deal with her husbands death along with find out that he had an identical twin brother that she never knew about. His brother Stephen shows up to try learn about his brother because they were estranged for 12 years. I loved watching how both characters changed over time and I was sad when it ended because like usual the characters became “real” to me. This is a must read for everyone! Somebody Like You

About Somebody Like You

Can a young widow find love again with her husband’s reflection? Haley’s three-year marriage to Sam, an army medic, ends tragically when he’s killed in Afghanistan. Her attempts to create a new life for herself are ambushed when she arrives home one evening—and finds her husband waiting for her. Did the military make an unimaginable mistake when they told her Sam was killed? Too late to make things right with his estranged twin brother, Stephen discovers Sam never told Haley about him. As Haley and Stephen navigate their fragile relation­ship, they are inexorably drawn to each other. How can they honor the memory of a man whose death brought them together—and whose ghost could drive them apart? Somebody Like You is a beautifully rendered, affecting novel, reminding us that while we can’t change the past, we have the choice to change the future and start anew. Beth K. Vogt
