Jolissa Montoya believes God is calling her to work with the disadvantaged children in her inner-city neighborhood. There's only one problem: The children wouldn't be able to understand her. Jolissa suffers from a speech impediment and has a thick accent because Spanish is her first language. She is convinced that what God has spoken to her heart is impossible. Impossible, that is, until one day when she shares her concerns with a confidant who shows her a quilt that depicts the life of a courageous woman.

The Singing Quilt is set against the backdrop of the life of Fanny Crosby, who in addition to writing hundreds of songs was also a well-known public speaker and active in Christian rescue missions despite her disability. Readers will be inspired to not let fear or disability prevent them from answering what they believe is God's impossible call.
