Summary:"Passion begins with One Stitch ... Indiana, 1967. Emma Bontager has never quite fit the mold of an Amish daughter. While her mother laongs to see her prepared for marriage, Emma would rather cast a fishing line, hike through the woods, or swing a bat on the ballfield. Hoping to guide her onto the traditional path, Emma is sent to Arthur, Illinois, to live under the watchful eye of her grandmother. There, Emma reluctantly picks up needle and thread -- and to her surprise, discovers joy in piecing together a Tree of Life quilt. As her stitches grow steadier, so does her heart. Then she meets Ivan Yoder, a spirited young Amish man who shares her love of the outdoors. But whispers about his reputation threaten to unravel the fragile bond between them. Now Emma must decide: Will she return home with a broken heart, or dare to risk everything for a love as enduring as the quilt she's creating?" -- (back cover).
