SylviaCTAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5A Page TurnerAugust 1, 2011SylviaCTAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Lilly Lapp, in love with a man who loves someone else. Jacob Wyse, a jilted suitor turned horse thief. Lilly's mother, who suffers from depression. Jacob and Lilly's impulsive engagement and subsequent marriage. In Lilly's Wedding quilt, Kelly Long brings characters and circumstances together to create a personable and interesting story.
Lilly encounters Jacob and attempts to provide first aid for a gunshot wound he has suffered. When they arrive late to a wedding together, the people of their Amish community raise their eyebrows. When police interrupt the reception to question Jacob about a stolen horse, Lilly says that he had been with her the previous night. To protect her reputation, Jacob says that they had been discussing their engagement. Lilly quickly agrees, though she knows that Jacob still loves someone else. To further complicate matters, Lilly's mother disapproves of their engagement. Lilly likens the unusual circumstances of her and Jacob's marriage to the pieces of a quilt, which when they are stitched together, make something beautiful. Lilly and Jacob learn to trust God to put the pieces of their lives together to create a loving marriage. They also learn how to let God work in the life of Lilly's mother. Kelly Long's portrayal of their journey is tender and her characters are tender and varied. The reader eagerly turns pages to find out how each situation is resolved.

Melanie SchlatterAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Absolutely Riveting!May 22, 2011Melanie SchlatterAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I don't usually write reviews but I just HAD to with this book. I read Kelly's first book and eagerly waited for book 2...I was NOT disappointed. I read the Google Preview here and ordered the book ASAP. When it arrived, I sat and read the entire book in one setting. And now, I've started to read it a second time through. Bottom line, the writing is real, thought out, emotionally pulling, action packed but sensitive too. This book is SUPERB!
