ABOUT THE BOOK

Sara Jane Morgan is trying to balance teaching with caring for her ailing, stubborn grandmother. When school lets out for the summer, the plans are for Grandma to teach Sara Jane to quilt as they finish up the Appalachian Ballad quilt Grandma started as a teenager. But things don’t always go as planned.

Andrew Stevenson is hiding from his past—and his future. He works as a handyman to pay the bills, but also as an artisan, designing homemade brooms. When Sara Jane’s grandmother hires him to renovate her home, sparks fly between him and his new employer’s granddaughter.

Still, it doesn’t take Sara Jane long to see Drew isn’t what he seems. Questions arise, and she starts online researching him. What she discovers could change her life—and her heart—forever.

MY THOUGHTS

Swept Away is another enjoyable read from Abingdon's Quilts of Love Series. Laura V. Hilton and Cindy Loven join forces to create a story with a twist on the usual boy-meets-girl formula. The relationship between Sara Jane and her Grandma makes a compelling secondary story, with Grandma's intermittent and increasing dementia--not to mention her obsession with bringing Sara Jane and Drew together--providing for heart-wrenching as well as awkwardly humorous moments. You'll be Swept Away by this charming book!
