Piecing It All Together is the first book in the author's Plain Patterns trilogy. I reviewed the second book here. The story opens with Savannah Mast's fiance dumping her a week before their wedding. She flees California for the safety of her Amish grandmother's farm near Nappanee, Indiana. Savannah is not planning on staying long but becomes unexpectedly entangled in the search for a missing Amish girl. She can't leave, especially not when her childhood friend Tommy Miller is implicated as a suspect.

When Savannah accompanies her grandmother to Plain Patterns, a nearby quilt shop, the owner and local historian, Jane Berger, relates a tale about another woman's disappearance back in the 1800s that has curious echoes to today. Inspired by the story, Savannah does all she can to find the Amish girl and clear Tommy's name. But when her former fiance shows up, begging her to return to California and marry him after all, she must choose between accepting the security of what he has to offer or continuing the complicated legacy of her family's faith.

I enjoyed the current era subplot, Savannah's story, but was bored by the other one, the story of Emma Fisher. There wasn't much of a connection between the two and the reader is told early on that two of the characters are related. The Emma Fisher subplot does not explain the relation or what characteristics Savannah and Jane inherited from Emma. I found myself skipping pages when Emma's story was being told. ( )

Having read a number of Leslie Gould's books, I was excited to read Piecing It All Together, the first in the Plain Patterns series. I was not disappointed. She writes such a great story, making her characters real and likable with strong emotions and convictions as they deal with real life issues and mend and strengthen relationships. It is a charming story that deals with broken relationships, the search for a missing teen and has a thread of midwifery throughout, that I found to be quite interesting. Gould has crafted a dual time story in this book, as the owner of a local quilt shop tells the story about Emma from the 1840s, that is parallel to Savannah's story. As always with this author's stories, there are strong themes of family, friends, and faith woven throughout. Readers who enjoy stories about family and friends set in the Amish community will not want to miss Piecing It All Together.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers. I was not required to write a review and the opinions are my own. ( )

Piecing It All Together, by Leslie Gould, is the first book in the Plain Pattern series. I just loved this story. I enjoyed reading of the strength Savannah needed to move forward with her life after her broken engagement. It is so appropriate for a young adult to turn to someone so special as a grandmother at a time like this. Savannah’s grandmother is so understand and not at all judgmental toward Savannah. She allows the use of cell phone and vehicle, which we often see as not allowed in most Amish stories.

I found the story of her ancestor to be very interesting. I enjoyed the similar theme running through both stories.

This is a great inspirational story of finding and giving forgiveness as well as moving on during difficult situations. There is a nice blend of mystery, suspense and romance written in this story. The writing is so clear, it is easy to envision the story while reading.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley, this is my honest review. ( )

Piecing It All Together, #1 Plain Patterns, by Leslie Gould, is one novel I want to label purely “Wunderbar.” I was fortunate to catch a sample chapter somewhere on my phone and I was hooked. I immediately requested an egalley from NetGalley. I must admit, I was a little uncertain. Some of Gould’s collaborations I have loved, while one particular series was not my style. But I am so glad I didn’t miss this one, and I will be first in line for book two, it is that enticing.
Gould’s riveting novel is a dual-timeline, with two young women, either Amish or with Amish ties, who are desperately seeking their place in life. Gould weaves so much tension into each story, switching between the two effortlessly. I couldn’t stand to put the book down and finished it in one day. So many emotions are pulled out of the reader’s heart, as you journey life with both present-day Savannah and 1842’s Emma and begin to see the greater picture come together.
So many takeaways for any reader. As we see overt and covert prejudice, we see what the cost is to fight for true equality. Some people don’t give troublesome teenagers a chance to grow and mature into upstanding adults. We see characters who, one step at a time, rise far above anything they’d ever imagined. And we see incredible courage in the face of insurmountable odds, only to be recognized after the fact. Faith and forgiveness lived out to the fullest. I can’t rave enough about this book and its unforgettable characters.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and publisher. No positive review was required and the opinions are solely my own. ( )
