I had trouble getting started with this book. It could not hold my interest, but I decided to complete it and I glad I did. Once all the people and places fell into place, it was a great read and captivated me completely. Did not end at all as I expected.

Felt it was very hard to follow. Characters not easy to identify with. By the time it made sense, it was over. I would not recommend this book.

Loved this book. Was able to feel the despair or the characters, hurt for them and cry with them. Also to feel their hope for a new beginning. I can't imagine going through the horrible times these people did. Can't wait to read the rest of the Emerald Ballad books.

Another chance to be a part of the quilters. The author did a great job of introducing the new characters and letting us part of the lives of the others. I can't wait to read the next book!!!

Could not put it down!!!
Easily able to connect with characters and wish I could make all the hurts "go away"!!
Wish I could look forward to a sequel and spend more time on Wildflower Hill with Patrick and Emma.
