The Flower Quilter by Mindy Steele
Summary:
Barbara Breaks from Amish Tradition to Express Her Artistry
Full of faith, hope, and
romance, this new series takes you into the Heart of Amish country.
Barbara Schwartz was born into a family of
quilters, but she would rather eat dirt than partake in another quilting frolic
or sew on another binding. When her parents send her to Indiana to help her
grandmother in her quilting shop, she finds herself amongst a very different
community. It’s only one summer and then she will be back in Kentucky where she
belongs.
Melvin Bontrager’s world stopped six years ago
when his parents died. Now when his only means of providing for his widowed
sister and niece is threatened, Melvin finds his landscaping business
disappearing too. When spring delivers a newcomer who is immune to his salty
moods, Melvin does something he has never done before, accepts help.
What blooms is the last thing Barbara ever
expected, and everything Melvin could ever want.
Review: 4-Star
I have always been a fan of authors who tackle the Amish communities as
the heart of a love story. I’ve never
heard of Mindy Steele before, but the storyline sounded intriguing, so I gave
it a whirl and I’m so glad I did. It’s a page-turner and one you don’t want to
put down until you finish even if that’s 2 am. Mindy paints a pretty picture
and you can see what she wrote about in your mind, she also really captured the
emotions which is something not all authors do well. The reason I didn’t give this book a 5-star
rating is that there were just a few editorial errors and I hate editorial
errors. They were small and spaced far between, but still there. These were sentences
that you had to read a few times and still, they didn’t quite make sense in my
mind, but I decided to leave it and go on with the story, which I truly loved.
I look forward to reading more of Mindy’s stories in the future.
I received this book for my honest review by NetGalley
