Publisher's summary

After a tornado rips through her town, store owner Abigail comes across a piece of fabric from a wedding dress among the devastation. Abigail is moved to start collecting other swatches of fabric she finds - her neighbor’s kitchen curtains, a man’s necktie, a dog’s bed - which she stashes in shopping bags. As she pursues her seemingly absurd quest, horrible realities spark the question, “What kind of a God would allow such tragedy?” As she struggles to reconcile her right to happiness amidst the destruction, Abigail begins piecing together a patchwork quilt from the salvaged fabric in hopes it will bring some peace. But a new relationship with Justin, a contractor, may require too much of her fragile heart. Will her pain and questions of faith give way to the courage to love?

Great story

Although somewhat predictable, the story was a great reminder that God can and does bring beauty from ashes, and He often uses difficult circumstances to draw us closer to Him. I couldn’t stop listening.

Wonderful, heartwarming story. Excellent message of why bad things happen and how we should view them when they do.

Great Book! Original and

I loved this book from the first chapter! Zane did a great job with everything from very real excitement, and so many emotions and feelings, many know to well. She had great, believable characters and brought them all together in this wonderful, heart wrenching, happy and unique book! It also portrays a real life lesson and shows just how much people need family. Blood or not. Narration was great as well. I will listen to it again.

Heartwarming reminder

A great plot with multiple characters, showing their struggles and growth as their town and lives are torn apart by a tornado. The storyline was very warm and made me ponder about my own life and how it is easy to be angry at God when things don't go our way. Gentle use of scripture throughout but not overdone, not preachy. The narrator was good, but think it would have been better to have a male voice narrate the men.

it is a diamond worth listening too!

At first I was not sure I would like this book; however, I am grateful I kept going. I felt like I was friends with all the characters. I found joy and I cried. I felt the love of God and His son Jesus. It is a diamond worth listening too. Thank you to the authors wisdom. Thank you to the narrator for bringing my heart into the characters.
