From the best-selling author of A Quilt for Christmas comes the irrepressible story of a runaway bride. Ellen is putting the finishing touches on a wedding quilt made from scraps of old dresses when the bride-to-beher granddaughter Juneunexpectedly arrives and announces shes calling off the marriage. With the tending of Junes uncertain heart in mind, Ellen tells her the story of Nell, a Kansas-born woman who goes to the High Plains of New Mexico Territory in 1898 in search of a husband. Working as a biscuit-shooter, Nell falls for a cowboy named Buddy. She sees a future together, but she cant help wondering if his feelings for her are true. When Buddy breaks her heart, she runs away. In her search for a soul mate, Nell will run away from marriage twice more before finding the love of her life. Its a tale filled with excitement, heartbreak, disappointment, and self-discoveryas well as with hard-earned life lessons about love. Another stunning, emotional novel from a master storyteller.
1. Not interested in quilting. 2. “Bride” is one of my least favorite words. It‘s so... possessive. Like men who call their wives of 20 years their “bride”? Yuck! So this is probably a no go. #jesshowbookmail
