This three-part novel shares a common thread: a handmade quilt.
Although each story has a separate plot, the same characters are in
all three. The authors are all talented with their own unique
writing style. This is Richelle Brunstetter's writing debut, and
she does a great job.--Patsy Glans "RT Book Reviews" (9/1/2017

Wanda Brunstetter has teamed up with her daughter-in-law Jean and
granddaughter Richelle and among the three women, they have
delivered three warm and spirited tales. The overarching connection
between the three stories steps from generation to generation and
the beloved Christmas Quilt is at the center of each story. While
each author has a unique tone and style to their writing, the
beauty in all three stories is that they flow well together. The
dialogue is light and believable. All three women have done an
admirable job in delivering warm and insightful tales. Well done
ladies. I look forward to your next collaboration.--Diane Lunsford
