Kwilty Kathy mentioned Sandra Dallas...her stuff is great. Real "heart" stuff -- love, forgiveness, generosity and making through tough times. I'm listening to one of hers, Prayers for Sale. Love it!
I also loved Tallgrass -- it's about a WWII interment camp (quilty plays a roll, of course!), and The Persian Pickle Club.
All excellent books!
Blessings,
