Author: Judith Miller
Grade: B+
Ages: 14+

A Patchwork Love

Jane’s options are runing low. She’s down to her last sticks of kindling, only a crust of bread and small piece of cheese, and her ten-year old daughter, Molly, appears to have a cough. What Jane does have, however, are two tickets to Dener with an invitation for an extended vistit… With a man that Molly doesn’t really like. Does a widow really have an option, though?

Grade: A
Ages: 14+

The Bridal Quilt

With hopes of a Christmas proposal Ada is in fairy-tale land until Samuel, the man of her dreams, decides that he’s needed in the slums of New York and that she is too good to go with him. Not even allowing her a choice Samuel disappears from her life – a life that has lost meaning.
Until an odd accident brings Samuel back… but how can she prove to him that she can handle the life he’s chosen?

My overall thoughts

This was a really good book. While I didn’t love the first novella the other two more than made up for that bit of ambivalence. The Christian Fiction part of these is done in such a way that it shouldn’t turn off non-Christians but Christians can see God’s Hand in the events and love throughout the entire book.

Overall Grade: A

    Oh I have seen this book. Last year I read a “collection” book for Christmas, but i wasn’t sure if I would read another one this year. I do have a lot of Christmas stories already picked out.
