About this listen
Maybelle can't sew. But when she finds an unfinished quilt in the attic of her mother's house, she gets the crazy idea to complete it. At first, it's just a way to fill the lonely nights while her husband, staff sergeant Holden Kanzinzki, is away fighting in World War II. Yet when Maybelle discovers that the quilt is made from scraps of material that can be traced back through her family heritage, the project is suddenly much more important.
Then word comes that Holden is missing in action, and with little else to do, Maybelle clings to the quilt as much as to the hope that her husband is still alive. As neighborhood friends gather around Maybelle to help her through the unknown days and nights ahead, it is the quilt that becomes a symbol of her unflagging belief that Holden will return - to her, to their home, and to their quilt-covered bed.

As she pursues her seemingly absurd quest, horrible realities spark the question, “What kind of a God would allow such tragedy?”

As war moves ever closer, the sleepy English village of Crowmarsh Priors settles into a new sort of normal: Evacuees from London are billeted in local homes. The nightly German air raids become grimly mundane. Rationing curtails every comfort. Men leave to fight and die. And five women forge a bond of friendship that will change their lives forever in this engrossing novel of loyalty, loss, and love in the shadow of World War II.With the hardships of war intensifying every day, the women band together to defeat formidable enemies and find remarkable strength within themselves to help one another. It is a war-forged loyalty certain to endure years and distance. When four of the women return for a celebration fifty years later, their mission is not simply to commemorate or remember. They’ve returned to confront a traitor whose actions cost countless lives — and to avenge one of their own at last.

Ten-year-old Pearl Spence is a daydreamer, playing make-believe to escape life in Oklahoma's Dust Bowl in 1935.

Then a mysterious man bent on revenge tramps into her town of Red River.

Wonderfully written
Oh what a beautiful book. The ups and downs. The children of today need to hear the reality of life. Even with the little income and little food, people were happy and did what needed to be done.

Sweet WW II story
The story line was sweet and very Christian-based. Showed the daily life of those at home during the war years. Good characters and world building that you want to don your equipment and head off with these new friends to the shipyards. The only downside is the narrator was really bad. It sounds like someone is “reading you a story” as opposed to an audiobook with “character” voices ect. Honestly her Irish accent was painful. Trying to hear the difference between “voices” in conversation was difficult. Otherwise a solid book that I highly recommend especially while quilting!

A different way of life…
The narrator did a great job with the locality dialects. Really could feel caught up in the story and wishing for better days ahead with every turn. Loved the characters and their personalities really shined through with the voices. Good storyline and easy to follow.

A Nice Break from Murder Mysteries
A nice almost clean book that puzzled me just a little. When an author works so hard to make a book clean and enjoyable to those who are looking for clean literature, why slip in one swear word? What was the purpose?

Sweet Historical Fiction
Maybelle's best friend continues to mention she just need to have hope and faith and to believe, but I'm disappointed the author didn't go into Who she is supposed to have faith in. I think she really missed an opportunity to speak about faith in Christ and the hope only He can offer during the difficult situations these wives went through, and anythingwe go through too!
The ending was a bit abrupt to me.
I did enjoy this emotional story for the most part, although the narration wasn't my favorite!
I am grateful this entire series is available to read or listen to for no additional cost with Kindle Unlimited and an Audible subscription.
