ABOUT THE BOOK
When Quakers Flora Saferight and Bruce Millikan embark on the Underground Railroad, they agree to put their differences aside to save the lives of a pregnant slave couple. With only her mother’s quilt as a secret guide, the foursome follows the stitches through unknown treachery.
As they embark on their perilous journey, they hope and pray that their path is one of promise where love sustains them, courage builds faith, and forgiveness leads to freedom.

MY THOUGHTS
I had a difficult time reading this book, it's no fault of the author, but instead, just the fact that I don't relate well to the time period and the type of vocabulary used throughout the book. All of the thee's and thy's threw me off, and made it for a not so comfortable read.
That's not to say I didn't enjoy the story line!
This book is part of the Quilts of Love series, each book is quite different and they are each stand alone stories that revolve around a quilt. This is a story line that you don't see too often, it revolves around Quakers and Slaves, seemingly a very odd combination but it mixes together quite well, just as the fragments of a quilt may not seem as though they'll look good until the project has been completed!
You'll find forgiveness in this story, as well as the question, is it ok to sometimes lie?
...and that's all I'm going to give you, you'll just have to read it!
