Sensible, single Maude Griffith spent her days caring for her widowed father and younger siblings. In her free time, she worked with her friends to create special wedding quilts. It was said that the future of the pending marriage could be told in the beautiful quilt blocks Maude created. If the match was right and true, Maude could sense it in the perfection of her quilt block. But when the match wasn't right, she knew that, too. Secretly she began a block for her own Bride's Quilt, desperately trying to blend her initials with those of the young chap she'd set her cap for. But it just wasn't turning out right. Then, Jack Kingston returned to town and Maude found herself noticing Suicide Jack a great deal more than a sensible woman like herself ought to. He would be nothing but trouble, blowing out of town on his next whim without so much as a goodbye.Instead of listening to her logical head, Maude quickly finds herself led by her heart - and straight into the arms of dangerous, mysterious Jack Kingston. In the privacy of her room, Maude makes one more attempt at her Brides Quilt, substituting Jack's initials in the groom's space, amazed when it turns out to be perfect. But how? How could her future possibly lie with a man who had nothing but secrets in his past? A man her father despised for the ne'er-do-well he believed Jack to me. As Jack's future hangs by a thread, Maude must reveal a secret so shocking it could ruin her future, but it's the only way she can possibly save the man she loves from certain death."Mended Hearts" is pure, rapturous magic! Ms. Shertzer has quilted the perfect gift in this story of love, loss, and redemption. You can't help falling in love with rapscallion Suicide Jack and cheer Maude Griffith as she finds the match of a lifetime. Bravo, Ms. Shertzer!
