I had such high expectations for Kathi's next book after reading her Christmas book. Boy she did not let me down, she has a real knack for writing books that grip your heart.
This is a series that you do NOT want to miss. I could not put the book down it was so good, I had to know what Mimi was going to tell about the Moses quilt next, I drank in every word she spoke to Mazie and Edward.
I Highly recommend this read, if you have never read a book by Kathi you will be a huge fan for life after reading this book.
5 Stars was just not enough for this book.
