For the sake of peace in the family, Jo-Beth kept her feelings to herself. But she and Wes were pledged to each other, and nothing could change that. Not even war. With the death of her father, Jo-Beth and her family, moved in with relatives. There, her mother makes a living sewing her exquisite quilts—and Jo-Beth discovers a special friend. Wesley Rutherford draws Jo-Beth like a magnet … and their attachment to one another becomes strong enough to endure a long separation. Their future together seems certain … until the Civil War forces a decision that places Wes at odds with friends and family. Beginning in the mountains of North Carolina, the American Quilt series takes readers through the Civil War, across the country by wagon train to California, and finally across the Pacific to the romance and wild beauty of Hawaii. At the end of each book, you’ll find the pattern for its quilt. Follow it to create a beautiful quilt of your own.
