When Savannah Mast's fiance dumps her a week before their wedding, she flees California for the safety of her Amish grandmother's farm near Nappanee, Indiana. She's not planning on staying long but becomes unexpectedly entangled in the search for a missing Amish girl. She can't leave--especially not when her childhood friend Tommy Yoder is implicated as a suspect.
When Savannah accompanies her grandmother to Plain Patterns, a nearby quilt shop, the owner and local historian, Jane Berger, relates a tale about another woman's disappearance back in the 1800s that has curious echoes to today.
Inspired by the story, Savannah does all she can to find the Amish girl and clear Tommy's name. But when her former fiance shows up, begging her to return to California and marry him after all, she must choose between accepting the security of what he has to offer or continuing the complicated legacy of her family's faith.
My thoughts:
Leslie Gould writes
time-slip novels that have become some of my favorite reads. She certainly knows how to weave a tale and
always draws me into the lives of her characters.
Piecing It All
Together is a perfect example as I became caught up in the lives of present-day
Savannah, Jane .and the story of Emma from over 100 years in the past. The secondary
characters are wonderful, too. I loved
spending time with the ladies in the community, as they gathered in the quilt
shop, talking, quilting and hearing the story of Emma. This novel
is an emotional one as it deals with broken relationships, family, friends and
a message of faith woven throughout. I
highly recommend this novel.
This is the first
book in a new series by the author and I’m already anxiously awaiting the second
book. I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley. All opinions are completely my own.
