A grandmother’s loving bequest changes three lives forever in a heartwarming novel about finding love, hope, and family by New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown.

An inheritance has reunited three estranged cousins. Their grandmother Lucy left Nessa, Flynn, and April her home nestled in the woods near Blossom, Texas, as well as a hope chest to be unlocked after they complete a special task. Together, they must hand-stitch a cherished quilt Lucy left unfinished. It meant everything to her. And now, to three people struggling with their own patchwork pasts...

To Nessa, the house has always been an escape from her strict parents—a home away from home. Flynn has followed a profligate path into adulthood, never guessing it would lead him here. And the town of Blossom only stirs up a lifetime of disappointments for April. Lost and with nowhere to go, her last chance is helping fulfill Nanny Lucy’s final wish.

Thread by healing thread, Nessa, Flynn, and April bond over the quilt and all it represents. As they discover the family they’ve been looking for in one another, they share more than memories. They share the hope of new beginnings.

Maybe it was because of some of the similarities in my life but I truly loved this book. Families can be difficult and we all have our own skeletons in the closet. I hope you will enjoy this as much as I did.

Brittany Pressley always does a good job narrating.

Three adults, two females, Nessa and April and one male, Flynn, come back to Blossom, Texas after the death of their grandmother, Nanny Lucy O'Reilly to fulfill the requirements of her will. Flynn and Nessa visited every summer. April was raised by Nanny Lucy. All have destructive tendencies due to family dynamics that involve their grandparents and their parents. They have to finish a quilt to see what's inside a hope chest. The story develops from there. Both the females lives are resolved by the end. Flynn needs a follow-up story of his own. This is classic Carolyn Brown, but the O'Reilly family story isn't done.

Story Isn't Done..Need Flynn's

I have always believed you can't choose your family but you can choose your friends. When family turns out to be your best friends, then it just doesn't get any better.

As always I wait on pins and needles for Carolyn's books to come out on audio.nI enjoy reading them, but Brittany just brings them to life. Thank you both for jobs well done.

This book hit home with me because we lost my mother to a brain aneurysm in 2018. Going through her stuff was hard and it broughtmy brother and I closer. Thank you for shining the spotlight on mental illness and how it can effect everyone in the family, not just the person who has it.

You can't choose your family
