The Doctor's Christmas Quilt By Kathi Macias GIVEAWAY!

 
When her unwed medical student daughter discloses that she is pregnant, Dr. Laura Branson is torn between excitement and fear. Until now, her beliefs and stance on pro-life issues have been more theoretical than personal. It isn’t until she receives a Christmas gift—a quilt that depicts the life of pioneer Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman doctor in America—that she is forced to wrestle with her beliefs. What does she really believe, and will she have the courage to stand by her convictions?

I must say that the Quilt series is a huge hit. I loved this book!
Kathi has written a book full of rich history. I am pro -life so is Kathi and she writes about this topic with such heart.
I love the healing love and faith in this story. God has his hand all over the book. It dose not hurt that the story is woven all around a quilt.
I really enjoyed the history lesson about Elizabeth  Blackwell. I learned from this book and I enjoyed every page.
I gave this book 5 stars. I HIGHLY recommend this book.
I was given a copy of this book by the author for my honest review.
