Product Description
Returning to the home she fled in disgrace, will Hannah find healing for the wounds of the past?
After receiving a desperate and confusing call from her sister, Hannah Lapp reluctantly returns to the Old Order Amish community of her Pennsylvania childhood.
Having fled in disgrace more than two years earlier, she finally has settled into a satisfying role in the Englischer world. She also has found love and a new family with the wealthy Martin Palmer and the children she is helping him raise. But almost immediately after her arrival in Owl's Perch, the disapproval of those who ostracized her, including her headstrong father, reopens old wounds.
As Hannah is thrown together with former fianc Paul Waddell to work for her sister Sarah's mental health, hidden truths surface about events during Hannah's absence, and she faces an agonizing decision. Will she choose the Englischer world and the man who restored her hope, or will she heed the call to return to the Plain Life--and perhaps to her first love?

 | Captivating Finale Sep 14, 2009 |
| I purchased the first book of this series "When the Heart Cries" craving something new to read and wasn't quite sure exactly what. Being that this book was in the Christian section of the book store and it's story line was based on the Amish society, I took a chance on it. After reading the first one I was hooked and purchased the following two, "When the Morning Comes" and "When the Soul Mends". The reason I give this book 4 stars is just because it seemed a bit draggy towards the ending section of the second book. I thought to myself, "get on with it" and I admit to flipping to the middle of the third book to see where the story was leading. After peaking, I was again interested in knowing the whole story. I am glad to have this series on my shelf and have already passed it along to a friend who is right now on the third book and is enthralled with it, anxious to know the ending. | | |  | Great service Sep 5, 2009 |

The concluding book to the Sisters of the Quilt series, this picks up literally at the end of the second one, When the Morning Comes. After receiving a troubling phone call from her sister, Hannah returns to Owl's Perch to find her dear friend Matthew injured in a fire and his brother dead. She finds that belief in the rumors and lies which drove her away still lingers in the hearts of some of her people. She can see her sister suffering from mental illness and her father in denial of that illness. Hannah, now a nurse, is thrown together with her former fiance Paul, now a family counselor, as they try and get her sister the help she needs.
As Hannah reconnects with Paul, will she find that her love for him has never dimmed, or will she choose to return to Martin and the English life to which she has adapted? Will her father ever accept her? Can they all find forgiveness as lies and the circumstances under which Hannah left are exposed?
Cindy Woodsmall has crafted a terrific conclusion to her trilogy. The characters continue to be compelling and you really care about them. I think she's done a terrific job of detailing the Old Order Amish, Mennonite and English worlds, and how they can and cannot mesh. Although the ending was somewhat predictable, I found it satisfying how everything worked out and who ended up with whom.
I found it interesting that the quilt of the series title isn't a more substantial part of the books. The "Past and Present" quilt that Hannah starts in the first book is mentioned in all of the books and finally comes full circle in the end, but almost as an afterthought. I would have thought the quilt would find more prominence throughout the story.
An easy, enthralling read. | | | | Healing and Forgiveness in All of Our Lives Jul 10, 2009 |
I've been reading a lot of books about healing and forgiveness lately, and I really enjoyed this series. Other reviewers here have summarized the plot well enough, but for me the book is about the lessons we can learn about the art of forgiving. I've learned forgiveness is the first step in real healing, not the last.
Funny how it's stories about the Amish that lead us in this direction. I recently read 'Kingdom of Simplicity' by Holly Payne. It is also set among the Amish, and while it is a Romance, it seems like much more, as well. | | |  | Pretty okay book Jun 29, 2009 |
I was really into this series. I mean, I couldn't wait to read the next book. However, not even half way through this book I predicted everyone's outcome except for Luke and Mary. It was so predictable it was disgusting. Oh my goodness, can someone please write a book where there's a little twist to the ending. I knew Hanna's choice before I read the book. I just didn't know I would figure out how the author was going to come about the decision.
I liked the way the author handled Sarah. Great job!!!
The series started off great but I just couldn't connect with the third book because it was too predictable. I guess I was just hoping for a different ending. | | | Write your own review about When The Soul Mends (Sisters Of The Quilt V3)
