Filled with her trademark humor and relatable characters, award-winning author Jennifer Beckstrand's blends quilting, matchmaking, and a close-knit Colorado community in her newest Amish Quiltmaker novel, as independent-minded quilter Esther Kiem sets her sights on an unusual match between the shyest Yoder sister and a professional baseball player . . .
Perfect for fans of Charlotte Hubbard, Wanda Brunstetter, and Linda Byler.
Though Mary Yoder longs to marry someday, she finds caring for her community's injured and sick is much easier than courting. But when Englischer Clay Markham crashes his car nearby, Mary's nursing shows her his hidden wounds are more painful than his injuries. Though she's irresistibly drawn to his kind nature, can she risk letting him into her heart?
On the run from his troubled past, ex-pro baseball player Clay can't believe the quiet sanctuary he's found under Mary's care. Her gentle faith and knowledge are somehow giving him hope he can change his life—and offer her the love she truly deserves. But when his secrets catch up with him, can he and Mary find the courage to face the truth, set things to rights . . . and make way for a future together?

      The bright lights of professional baseball shine on Amish country in this high-spirited romance from Beckstrand (The Amish Quiltmaker’s Unconventional Niece). When the Yoder sisters decide to make a quilt for their great-grandmother’s 100th birthday, they seek out octogenarian “master quilter” Cathy Larsen, who promises that each of the quilt blocks she gives the sisters “has a little magic stitched into it.” Mary Yoder thinks nothing of choosing the “Drunkard’s Path” pattern until an inebriated major leaguer with “muscular arms and shoulders as broad as the Mississippi River” crashes his car into her family’s barn. Clay Markham, who’s been dodging the limelight ever since he cost his team a spot in the playoffs, offers to pay for the damage, but Mary’s father insists he repair it himself. As Clay spends more time with the family, he grows to appreciate their slower-paced lifestyle and begins to fall for Mary. Trouble comes, however, when news of his whereabouts leaks, bringing reporters and fans to the Yoders’ door. Worried that he’s endangering the family, Clay decides to leave, forcing shy, withdrawn Mary to fight for the man she loves. The plot never flags across its many twists and turns—some more believable than others, but each rendered with enough heart and charm to sweep readers happily along for the ride. Beckstrand’s fans will delight in this cheerful romp.
