"A Promise in Pieces"
Emily T. Wierenga
This book goes back in time to WWII as Clara remembers her past. She share with her grandchildren how she ran away from her strict Pastor father's home to join the WAC's and care for the wounded soldiers.
After the war is over she returned home to talk to a young wisdom whose husband she nursed as a he lay dying. The grief stricken wife gives her a quilt as a thank you for taking care of her husband. The quilt becomes a healing quilt with many promises stitched into it and the young widow becomes her best friend.
But can she make her own family understand the significance of the quilt?

This was a very sad & poignant story which would switch back & forth between 1943 & 2000. I believe it made a very good point that grandchildren should listen to their grandparents and even their parents, of their part they had in history.
I RECEIVED THIS COMPLIMENTARY BOOK FROM LITFUSE FOR REVIEW PURPOSES.
