Ellen
is putting the finishing touches on a wedding quilt made from scraps of old
dresses when the bride-to-be―her granddaughter June―unexpectedly arrives and
announces she’s calling off the marriage. With the tending of June’s uncertain
heart in mind, Ellen tells her the story of Nell, a Kansas-born woman who goes
to the High Plains of New Mexico Territory in 1898 in search of a husband.
Working as a biscuit-shooter, Nell falls for a
cowboy named Buddy. She sees a future together, but she can’t help wondering if
his feelings for her are true. When Buddy breaks her heart, she runs away.
In her
search for a soul mate, Nell will run away from marriage twice more before
finding the love of her life. It’s a tale filled with excitement, heartbreak,
disappointment, and self-discovery―as well as with hard-earned life lessons
about love. Another stunning, emotional novel from a master storyteller.
