The Patchwork Bride by author Sandra Dalla is a precious story! Grandmother Ellen is working on a crazy quilt made with scraps from old wedding dresses from the attic. There is one piece of white fabric which is not actually from a wedding dress but holds secret memories. Grandaughter June comes to visit her grandmother and tells her she is planning to call the wedding off. She is not sure she loves her fiance enough to marry.
Now come sit on the porch as Grandmother Ellen tells June a story about Nell, a runaway bride whose story starts about 1898. Nell's story is filled with courage, love, longing, worry, uncertainty, and choices which will take Nell to several states before her heart finds that one true love. I won't post spoilers, but the story will touch your heart.
Enjoy!
