About the book: Kelly Frost, a textiles conservator, is invited to the Massachusetts coastal town of New Bedford to restore a 150-year-old Mariner's Compass quilt, with one stipulation: she must live and work in Gray House where the quilt is stored. Tom Silva, whose heart seems as hard as the rocky coastline, is the caretaker employed by the mysterious absent owner of Gray House.
Over the long-lit months as Kelly works to restore the quilt, she is drawn out of her self-imposed shell and embraces the family God has given her after her own family failed her. As Kelly reads stories in a journal penned by Mary Gray, she learns there is no transgression beyond God's forgiveness, but the real obstacle is forgiving herself. During her and Tom's journey to grace and love, an unknown force works to keep both of them from discovering a long-buried truth that will change their lives forever.

My Thoughts:
When i first picked this book up ( along with a few others) i just couldn't get into it. for whatever reason it seemed boring to me. i picked it up again a few days later. and i am totally into it now i'm not quite finished but the book flows nicely and has a hint of mystery in it. which is keeping me interested. though i want it to go faster. i don't really know anything about the author so its a good introduction. and i am loving the quilts of love series too. check it out!
Thanks to abingdon and litfuse for providing the copy of the novel for review. i wasn't compensated in any way.
