Confused about her troubled marriage, Kendra Taylor needs time to sort out her feelings.
Retreating to an abandoned cabin left to her husband, Isaac, by the maternal grandmother he never knew, she is quickly welcomed into the rural community of Toms Brook. She soon becomes curious about a beautiful heirloom quilt and the past Isaac has always refused to explore.

At first Isaac's reluctant visits to the cabin only underscore the difficulties in their marriage. But as circumstances force them to piece together a new relationship, Isaac discovers that the history of a family he never knew may hold the key to his future.
As a passionate story of strength, loss and desperation unfolds, the secrets of the quilt are revealed and the threads of an unraveling marriage are secured.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Traumatized by a near-fatal attack by a mugger, journalist Kendra Taylor leaves Washington, D.C., for the rustic cabin in Toms Brook, Va., that once belonged to husband Isaac's grandmother. There, she seeks recovery from her ordeal and refuge from what she sees as a troubled marriage. Surrounded by the serene beauty of the Shenandoah Valley and aided by the warmth of her rural community, Kendra begins a major restoration of the cabin, her life and her relationship with Isaac. An unusual lover's knot quilt, also left to her husband, piques Kendra's curiosity, and she investigates the story behind the heirloom knowing that the answers she finds may save her marriage or destroy it. For this third Shenandoah Album novel (after Wedding Ring), Richards stitches together the mystery of a family's past with the difficulties and moral dilemmas of the present for a story as intriguing as the quilt itself.
