I typically start my reviews with my own description of the story … but the one done by the author/publisher is excellent. A rewording by this reviewer wouldn’t do The Forgiving Quilt justice. Please read on NetGalley or your favorite book-purchasing website.

My review …

This story is loaded with wise statements. But I think my favorite — not wise — but brought a big smile was “I’m not stubborn. I’m decisive.“ My daddy could at times be one stubborn man. If he had ever heard that one — he would have used it for the rest of his life.

How could I not like Eliza, at least most of the time — she doesn’t like brussels sprouts and I can’t stand ’em. Yuk! But there was an aspect of Eliza’s personality that wore on me as the story progressed which is why I rated “The Forgiving Quilt” with 4.5 stars instead of 5.

Eliza held onto a grudge for too long. I would have liked to see her character mellow sooner or at least argue with herself about it. The book is about forgiveness and I loved the idea of The Forgiving Quilt.

This book is the second in the series but it could be read standalone. I had read the first book of the series, “The Memory Quilt”.

Pearls of wisdom sprinkled throughout. A big gray Percheron named Samson loves Eliza. And Eliza loves all her horses … and books.

I received a complimentary DRC (digital review copy) of “The Forgiving Quilt” via NetGalley from the publisher, Kensington Books, Zebra. A positive review was not required; the opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Rating: 4.5 rounded to 5 for sites that only display round numbers.
