Description

Mara Keegan is an uber-successful mother and a widow of three years. She's been chasing success and all the "good things in life" for her family to make up for the cruel whim God played on them by taking her husband. In an effort to be the perfect mom, she decides to make a photo memory quilt, a graduation present for her daughter, Cadence.

 

She’s not yet finished when she experiences a heart attack. While Mara recuperates, she revisits the choices she's made that led to this physically and spiritually broken heart. The memory quilt must be finished in time for Cadence's big day, but Mara struggles with her burgeoning feelings for the man who must keep Mara's business going during her recovery, Joel Ryan. Can Joel find his way into Mara's heart and onto Cadence's quilt?

Advance Praise

"As beautifully woven as a keepsake quilt, A Healing Heart wraps itself around you, offering a cozy, heart-tugging story. A lovely masterpiece, with as many "embellishments" as Mara's memory quilt. This is definitely "my kind" of tale, one that pulls you in from the first page and keeps your emotions engaged throughout. Highly recommended."--Janice Thompson, author of Queen of the Waves, "Love, Laughter and Happily Ever Afters!"

"A heart-warming and romantic story of new beginnings and hope through the fog. A story of real life filled with true emotion and characters you can't help but love."--NY Times bestselling author, Tosca Lee, www.toscalee.com

A Healing Heart by Angela Breidenbach. What could be more perfect than a book that has quilts? But would A Healing Heart deliver or just throw in a quilt as an attempt to make quilters happy? It delivers! On the quilting side I learned about a technique I’d like to try for my own family. On the story side A Healing Heart, it delivered. Mara, the main character, struggles to keep a business afloat despite grief, injuries and a disgruntled daughter. The book had me riding the emotion roller coaster. Breidenbach weaves the quilt story through the book in such a way that it becomes a character.”--Diana Brandmeyer...stringing 26 letters into stories

A Healing Heart is an emotional story of learning to let go of the past and embracing the future. Angie Breidenbach deftly creates lifelike teenagers, a frazzled mother, and a caring hero you will love. This charming book that tugs at your heart and will encourage you reevaluate what’s important in your life.”—Vickie McDonough, Award winning author of 25 books and novellas

“Angela Breidenbach's A Healing Heart is a compelling story of love and letting go and is a poignant reminder to follow our dreams. Novel Rocket and I recommend it as an immensely satisfying read.”—Ane Mulligan, Sr. editor Novel Rocket, www.novelrocket.com

A Healing Heart is not only a story about romance and family, but also of priorities and promises—broken or otherwise. Author Angela Breidenbach has skillfully woven these elements into a page-turning adventure that will offer healing to readers’ hearts and souls.”—Kathi Macias (www.kathimacias.com)

“Some stories provide pure entertainment, while others teach a lesson. A Healing Heart by Angela Breidenbach does both and is one of those books that every over-achieving, God-loving woman should read. Not only did I enjoy this book, I found myself reflecting on my own life and how much of myself I saw in the story.”—Debby Mayne, author of Sweet Baklava (March 2011), Waiting for a View (July 2012), and the upcoming Class Reunion series (June, August, and September 2013)
