"A tremor of anticipation, a feeling of an impending fateful encounter-that's exactly what I experienced, meeting Ross Davison!" Johanna Shelby could never have anticipated where that "fateful encounter" would lead her. She could not have known then how love for the young, rough-hewn, mountain doctor would cause her to turn her back on her privileged lifestyle, threaten to estrange her from her family, and bring her to the wild mountains of Appalachia. Johanna did not know what the future held. But she trusted God ... and she knew that he would cause her own family quilt to be rich and beautiful-a pattern like no other. Beginning in the mountains of North Carolina, the American Quilt series takes readers through the Civil War, across the country by wagon train to California, and finally across the Pacific to the romance and wild beauty of Hawaii. At the end of each book, you'll find the pattern for its quilt. Follow it to create a beautiful quilt of your own.
