Beyond the Storm By Carolyn Zane the 1st Quilts of love book! Giveaway!

After a tornado rips through her town, store owner Abigail comes across a piece of fabric from a wedding dress among the devastation. Abigail is moved to start collecting other swatches of fabric she finds – her neighbor’s kitchen curtains, a man’s necktie, a dog’s bed – which she stashes in shopping bags. As she pursues her seemingly absurd quest, horrible realities spark the question, “What kind of a God would allow such tragedy?” As she struggles to reconcile her right to happiness amidst the destruction, Abigail begins piecing together a patchwork quilt from the salvaged fabric in hopes it will bring some peace. But a new relationship with Justin, a contractor, may require too much of her fragile heart.  Will her pain and questions of faith give way to the courage to love?

This is the first book I have read by Carolyn Zane. I really did enjoy it. It is a book about putting the pieces back together.

My favorite part in the whole book was sweet, generous, Aunt Selma telling the quilt story, she told what each piece of the quilt meant to her and where the fabric came from that formed the quilt. It was a moving story to hear her tell it. I really loved the epilogue very much! I am a sucker for a happy ending!
