Her life imploded and she didn't know how to get it back. Her husband was a cheat, her son was outgrowing his mother, and her grandpa was very sick. Seeking refuge from it all, the one thing she didn’t expect, was to find herself being courted by the very handsome, local Pastor.

Reviews

Have you ever read a book that made you feel like you were home? that the characters were friends, family and that the imaginary town was your childhood home? Well that’s how I felt about Summer Under My Quilt. It was like going home.

When I first started reading and met Megan I was immediately drawn to her. She was like that high school friend you lost touch with and running into her you just picked up where you left off. When we connect with Megan she has just learned her husband is cheating on her. Having loved Bobby since high school the betrayal is deep.

We then meet Reid a young pastor who has suffered his own heartache. Together these characters learn to let go of the hurt and rebuild their hearts to find love again. I was absolutely enthralled with this book. It had me from the first page till last. I think the title said it all Summer Under My quilt was really like crawling under a quilt and going home.

I highly recommend this book as one of your must read summer books. It’s a book the flows well and is well written. It makes for a great Saturday read while sitting by the pool.

Summer Under My Quilt takes one back to better days. It brings back memories of times so simple, with as much warmth and comfort as an actual quilt made with love can provide. It is definitely an escape as you read the story painted with words of family, heartbreak, growth and love. It leaves you with a feeling of hope for your own life through the peace and relaxation it brings in this beautiful love story. A hope that one’s own life can work out in such a surprising way with just a little more of the basics and a little less complicated. I hate spoilers, so I’ll simply say you HAVE to know where Megan’s life is going to go and how she will get there.
Crystal Sellers is a great author! With her first novel being so comforting, I look forward to reading her next! She is definitely an author to watch for!
