About the Book
The first time I read her books is Grace Unplugged and then four other books. I really enjoyed her storytelling and writing. Quite simple and engaging to read. This would be one of the first Christmas novellas I've read of hers. Thank you Revell and JustReads for the ARC for exchanging honest reviews.
Title: A Quilt for Christmas: A Christmas Novella.
Author: Melody Carlson.
Publisher: Revell.
Release Date: September 6, 2022.
Genre: Christian Romance.
Blurb: Recently widowed Vera Swanson is having a hard time getting in the Christmas spirit in her new town. When asked to make a quilt for an ailing neighbor, she pulls together a diverse circle of quilters, including freespirited Tasha Ellison. The group becomes stitched together through shared stories, trust, and a little romantic weaving.
Christmas should be celebrated with family. But for Vera Swanson, that's not an option this year. Widowed and recently relocated, she is lonely in her condo-for-one--until little Fiona Albright knocks on her door needing help. With her mother seriously ill and her father out of town, Fiona enlists Vera's help, and when she finds out her new neighbor is a quilter, she has a special request--a Christmas quilt for Mama.
Vera will have to get a ragtag group of women together in order to fulfill the request. Between free-spirited artist Tasha, chatty empty nester Beverly, retired therapist Eleanor, and herself, Vera has hopes that Christmas for the Albright family will be merry, after all--and she may find herself a new family of friends along the way.
Bestselling and award-winning author Melody Carlson invites you to cuddle up this holiday season with this cozy story of giving, forgiving, and a little bit of romance.
