Can pieces of the past bring healing and forgiveness?
When unspeakable
tragedy leaves young Eli an orphan, two families are devastated. But Taylor,
Eli’s aunt and legal guardian, vows to help him remember his parents by
creating a Memory Quilt. As she begins piecing together the moments of his
parents' lives, the story of the young family emerges and Taylor and Eli begin
to heal.
But Eli’s uncle
Reece is slow to let go of the past and still blames Taylor ’s brother for his sister’s death. So,
although he has long been attracted to Taylor ,
Reece keeps a safe distance away. Can their shared love for Eli pave the way to
forgiveness or will Taylor and Reece be separated by pain?
FOR LOVE OF ELI
is part of Abingdon Press’ Quilts of Love
series. I’m not sure what number this book is in the collection, but they
are all stand-alone, written by different authors.
The story is
sweet—a romance between two unlikely people, a gypsy-ish heroine who does it
all, and a pediatrician doctor who loves his nephew and tries to be active in
his life. Both have baggage to work through. Taylor lost her husband to cancer,
and Reece lost his wife to divorce, but they were brought together by the death
of her brother and his sister—who were married—and the parents of Eli.
