Washington State, 1893

When Lily Lexington Bremmer arrives in Kamola with her young son, she’s reluctant to join the social center of her new community, the quilting circle, but the friendly ladies pull her in. She begins piecing a sunshine and shadows quilt because it mirrors her life. She has a secret that lurks in the shadows and hopes it doesn’t come out into the light. Dark places in her past are best forgotten, but her new life is full of sunshine. Will her secrets cast shadows on her bright future?

Widower Edric Hammond and his father are doing their best to raise his two young daughters. He meets Lily and her son when they arrive in town and helps her find a job and a place to live. Lily resists Edric’s charms at first, but finds herself falling in love with this kind, gentle man and his two darling daughters. Lily has stolen his heart with her first warm smile, but he’s cautious about bringing another woman into his girls’ lives due to the harshness of their own mother.

Can Edric forgive Lily her past to take hold of a promising chance at love?

Lily has a son named Toby, they have escaped an abusing man who was father and husband. He took advantage of Lily when her parents were killed and married her saying he was going to help her with things. He is a violent man. He returned home after gambling and loosing, and takes it out on his wife. His son yells to stop hurting his mother. He grabs the young boy and starts to strangle him after he wets his pants. Lily grabs a large bowl and smashes it on his head. She thinks he is dead. She runs away.

Edric is the towns law man he has two daughters and his Papa lives with them and takes care of the children when Eric is working.

Good story I enjoyed reading this. Personally I don’t like the abuse the two suffered but after they flee its better.

I enjoyed this book for the most part. The main characters were lovely and the small town environment was nice. I found myself skipping ahead quite often as there were many unnecessary details that made it feel a bit long. I would recommend this book, especially for people with old fashioned values.

Sweet Christian romance

A pleasant read although there is tension especially from one character’s background. I enjoyed Lily and Edric and all the family and small town dynamics. The author handles forgiveness and healing really well.

The characters are well-developed and the story flows fairly well until three-quarters of the way through. I liked Lily , her son Toby, and Aunt Henney.

The story is set in 1893, when a woman was considered the property of either her husband or her father. The story is about a woman who escapes domestic abuse and tries to move on.

Lily runs away when she thinks she accidentally killed her husband by hitting him over the head with a lamp when he was choking Toby.

Parts of the story are a little evasive to keep the audience guessing . As a result; I thought Lily's husband, Tobias,was actually still alive because Lily didn't check for a pulse to see if he was dead.

I also thought it was weird that Lily thought she would go to jail for defending herself and her son. I didn't really like the male lead, Edric.

A NEW LIFE WITH TRUST AND LOVE

Reviewed in the United States on 3 May 2019

Verified Purchase

Year was 1893 Lily caresses her sleeping son, as he hugs a train, the first toy for this five year old. The bruises evident, and the fear that is gripping her, getting as far from her past as she could. Boarding house to clean and cook without extra cost would help what little she had. The sorrow to see her son not wanting to take or eat a cookie. Because of the sharp discipline of his father. A story that unfolds, as she finally lets others in, to soft her heart and to start anew. The kindness of Edric was not easy to except, to learn to trust, and trust in God’s plan for a new life and family.. A good heartwarming story to enjoy.
