New From Quilts of Love || A Grand Design
A getaway on a charming island may be just what Alyssa needs—if only she can let go of her past.

When Alyssa Denham, a single career woman, wins a fun getaway for two on Mackinac Island where her grandmother lives, she gives her carefree best friend a call. Together, they tour the old shops and hidden treasures of the quaint island while helping Alyssa’s grandmother piece together an heirloom quilt. Their quest gains them entrance into the homes of many longtime residents of the island, parts of the city that are otherwise off limits to tourists.

As the quilt’s story takes shape, Alyssa gains amazing insight into her grandmother’s life . . . and attracts the attention of the handsome Scott Whitman, an island resident in charge of hotel transportation. Will memories of her past keep Alyssa from letting go? Or will the quest to piece together the heirloom quilt restore Alyssa’s fractured heart—and bring healing to her entire family?

MY THOUGHTS
Another stand alone book in the Quilts of Love series.  This book will take you to Mackinac Island, MI when time moves a little slower with only bikes, horse drawn carriages and your own two feet to get you around.


Alyssa has some catching up to do when she returns to her beloved island where she hasn't visited her grandma for 15 years....she's understandably nervous.  Alyssa learns to relax and have a bit of fun, how can she not with her best friend along....and the two men they meet on the boat ride over!


How does this tie into a quilt?  Well, grandma has her own agenda, one that will take Alyssa down memory lane, as well as form new ones.


A fun, cozy read.  If you've enjoyed this series, you'll be sure to enjoy this book as well.
