Pieces of the Heart by Bonnie S. Calhoun

ABOUT THE BOOK
Cordelia Grace watched Bernard Howard, the love of her young life, go off to fight for our country in WWII. And she has spent the last three years creating the Pine Cone quilt that will grace their marriage bed when he comes home. Each row of triangles signifies a layer in her life, sets of memories, hopes, dreams, and prayers for her future, enough spoken words to cover them forever. Her image of their “happy-ever-after” grows proportionally as the quilt expands.

But is the man that returns from the war, the same man that she remembered? Are the dark shades of color that she had to use for the outside edges of the beloved quilt prophetic of her life to come? Can love and faith overcome all?

Kay's Comments: (Updated) A great book rich in history! This story tells a bittersweet love story of two  young people overcoming trials of WWII. While I enjoyed this book as an over 50 adult, it would serve well in the YA genre (Young Adult). There are so many experiences that lends this book teaching and discussions.
