Wonderful story of hope

Having read the first two books in the Plain Patterns series, I eagerly opened the next book, Threads of Hope, and was not disappointed. Leslie Gould writes such a great story, making her characters real and likable with strong emotions and convictions as they deal with real-life issues and mend and strengthen relationships. Threads of Hope, while having the charm that books about the Amish community often portray, is a gritty story that deals well with depression, PTSD, and addiction. Gould has crafted a dual-time story in this book, as the owner of a local quilt shop tells a story from a different era, and a different war, with significant parallel experiences to the contemporary struggles of war trauma, the Spanish flu, and estrangement. And in both eras, the only thing that remained the same was the ever-changing reality of life. As always with this author's stories, there are strong themes of family, friends, and faith woven throughout. Readers who enjoy stories about the healing balm of God's love will not want to miss Threads of Hope. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers. I was not required to write a review and the opinions are my own.
