After the Civil War claims her brotherβs life, Miss Caroline Rose Kennedy searches for a new beginning. Atlanta only reminds her of past sorrows and family secrets, but learning of her cousinβs happy marriage arranged by a mail-order-bride agency brings a ray of hope. Perhaps Miss Milton could arrange a suitable match for her in Minnesota, too.
In spite of her motherβs disapproval, Caroline travels to Pelican Rapids to meet her groom. She brings her grandmotherβs tattered quilt as a reminder of home, gathering patches along her travels to repair the treasured family heirloom.
Upon her arrival in Pelican Rapids, Carolineβs plans unravel. Her journey to find a new beginning leads her down an unexpected path, testing her faith in ways she never imagined. Can God use her unraveled dreams to create a beautiful patchwork for the future?
