Sewing Flowers!
This is her worst nightmare come true! Barbara is spending part of the summer in Indiana helping and quilting in her Amish grandmother’s quilt shop. Despite years of trying, Barbara can’t do anything but stick herself repeatedly with the needle, or constantly pull out her poorly done stitches.
After a few days of torture, her grandfather takes mercy on her, and finds her a different job. But it is with Melvin, who almost ran her over with his wagon the first day she arrived. He constantly seems to be in a bad mood, and always has a sour look on his face. Barbara dislikes Melvin so much, she is almost tempted to return to the quilt shop, almost.
Melvin is a landscaper, and Barbara is supposed to help him plant, and tend gardens. Getting her hands dirty is what Barbara loves most. Barbed comments, and head butting take place between them on the job. As she works, she suggests different ways to arrange the plants, a departure from the way Melvin has always done it.
For the first time in her life, Barbara is having romantic feelings for someone. She doesn’t know how anything could come of it since she will be returning home to Kentucky. Barbara will never live anywhere else, not even for a relationship. But she knows she will never be happy because part of her heart will be left in Indiana.
This five-star book has a great story line that keeps you absorbed until the last page. Fans of Amish stories, and well-written tales will enjoy this clean book!
