ABOUT THE BOOK
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?

MY THOUGHTS
I enjoy many of Abingdon's Quilts of Love novels but this one didn't resonate with me. The story drags and is rather disjointed in places. I had a difficult time connecting with the characters and the premise. Some on this blog tour have really liked it while others have given it less enthusiastic reviews. I encourage you to check out other reviews and read the first chapter for yourself.
