A Heartbeat Away: Quilts of Love Series

"A beautiful, angst-filled romance that will leave the reader deeply moved. This is S. Dionne Moore's best book yet!" --Gina Holmes, bestselling author of Crossing Oceans and Wings of Glass Can a quilt and a hidden message bring enemies together? At the height of the Civil War, Union-loyal Beth Bumgartner is faced with a life-changing decision: defy her pacifist parents by helping a wounded Confederate soldier or turn Joe away and leave him—and his secrets—for dead. Beth’s choice is clear. She has to help. Yet her decision to volunteer as a wartime nurse is bittersweet as she bids her parents good-bye—maybe for the last time. While the Battle of Antietam rages around her, Beth finds precious comfort in her mother’s mysterious farewell present—a stack of quilt blocks. While she sews each block, Beth wonders if there is more to this quilt than memories of home. Hidden in the pattern is a message of faith that will encourage and sustain her through the dark nights to come, nights that will put the quilt to its greatest test yet.
