A Promise in Pieces

By: Emily T. Wierenga

Narrated by: Emily Caudwell

After the end of World War II, Clara Kirkpatrick returns from the Women's Army Corp to deliver a dying soldier's last wishes: convey his love to his young widow, Mattie, with apologies for the missed life they had planned to share. Struggling with her own post-war trauma, Clara thinks she's not prepared to handle the grief of this broken family. Yet upon meeting Mattie, and receiving a baby quilt that will never cuddle the soldier's baby, Clara vows to honor the sacrifices that family made.

Now a labor and delivery nurse in her rural hometown, Clara wraps each new babe in the gifted quilt and later stitches the child's name into the cloth. As each new child is welcomed by the quilt, Clara begins to wonder whatever happened to Mattie - and if her own life would ever experience the love of a newborn. Little does she know that she will have the opportunity to re-gift the special quilt - years later and carrying even greater significance than when it was first bestowed.

Wonderful !

I absolutely loved this book and wish we could all touch others as Clara did. But, near the end realized we all touch others in some way…much as Maria stated by the footprints we leave. The book made we want to do more! I was sad for the story to end!

Christian Historical Romance

This is a POWERFUL story full of God's grace and mercy, forgiveness and hope, despite the war, life's tragedies and hardships! I absolutely LOVED this story and the narration was absolutely superb!!

A lot of depth for the human spirit.

I am enjoying each book in the series.
Beautiful stories of real human struggles, relationships, faith and love. Also brings in history and cultures.

God’s guidance

What a strong main character and the lessons we all learn, or at least should learn, in life.

such a good story - Promice in Pieces

The way it was told made the book. Glad and sad. So glad it let the grandkids put away their game so listen to Grandma 's life story.
