Bending Toward the Sun Review

Goodreads Synopsis:

Can the Divine Quilter stitch together the torn pieces of Emilie's heart?

Divided between the love of her father and the desires of her heart, Emilie Heinrich must rely on the love and wisdom of the women in her quilting circle for support. Since Emilie is dedicated to her education and to helping her father in his general store, she is convinced she doesn't have time for love. But when a childhood friend returns to St. Charles, Missouri, after serving in the Civil War, his smile and charm captures Emilie's eye and her heart.

Quaid McFarland has a gentleness and humor that causes Emilie to question her indifference toward romance. But her German father sees only one thing when he looks at the young man: an Irish teamster. And Johann Heinrich is not about to let such a man court his beloved daughter.

Her father's prejudices test Emilie's faith in God's ability to mend the patchwork pieces of her life. Will she be forced to choose between honoring her father and a future with a husband and family of her own?
Review:
This was such a beautiful quick read! It's only 128 pages so it won't take you very long to finish it, but once you get to the last page you will want it to continue. I wanted more! And for all you ladies there is a sweet romance, and the leading man, Quaid McFarland, is definitely swoon-worthy! ;)
