ABOUT THE BOOK
When a band of runaway slaves brings Union-loyal Beth Bumgartner a wounded Confederate soldier named Joe, it is the catalyst that pushes her to defy her pacifist parents and become a nurse during the Battle of Antietam.
Her mother’s mysterious goodbye gift is filled with quilt blocks that bring comfort to Beth during the hard days and lonely nights, but as she sews each block, she realizes there is a hidden message of faith within the pattern that encourages and sustains her. Reunited with Joe, Beth learns his secret and puts the quilt’s message to its greatest test—but can betrayal be forgiven?

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
A Heartbeat Away is another book in the Quilts of Love Series from Abingdon Press. I really enjoyed the Civil War era setting and the nurses and medical attention given to them so vividly detailed in the story. The quilt in this story was told as Beth sew the quilt squares together given to her my her mom, and shes making this quilt as the fighting was going on among them. Beth was comforted many times through the putting together of this quilt. A wonderful heartwarming story from S. Dionne Moore and I want to encourage you to pick up a copy to read for yourself!
I received this book CFBA to read and review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 55.
