Johanna Shelby could never have anticipated where that "fateful encounter" would lead her. She could not have known then how love for the young, rough-hewn, mountain doctor would cause her to turn her back on her privileged lifestyle, threaten to estrange her from her family, and bring her to the wild mountains of Appalachia.

No, this love would not be denied. It was part of a larger pattern -like the pattern of one of the family quilts her aunts and cousins met weekly to stitch.

I enjoyed watching Johanna grow up, take on the new challenges and become a woman of great value. I also liked the deep and abiding love these two people had for each other. But Johanna will be reminded by someone that Ross cannot always be the one that fulfills her life, she needs daily communion with her Lord to keep her strong and ready for any and every situation. A good lesson for us all. I look forward to book two in the series, "The Pledge".
