Unlike some of the Hallmark books, this book is not made into a movie or a movie that was made into a movie. I am hoping that this is not the case for long and Hallmark does turn this into a movie by next year. As all of Hallmark’s “stuff” this book does not disappoint with the highs and lows and the everlasting excitement with these amazing stories. Hallmark did it again with the feel goodness of this book. I have not read anything prior by this author, but she will be on my list of authors to start stalking!

This book starts with Bodie Lewis arriving in Kentucky in his pickup along with his dog, Harry. Bodie is searching for the elderly woman who made him this quilt. After being honorably discharged from the military, all he wanted to do was thank this lovely lady for the quilt and be on his merry way to his new job. Quilt of Valor, a quilt with red, white and blue in it to help while he was recuperating. Meanwhile, Sarah Smith, the sewer of the quilt is humming along to Christmas music. Sarah is the local church’s administrative assistant and special projects planner. Sarah was also fulfilling her Aunt Jean’s dream of turning Hamilton House into a Bed & Breakfast. Sarah has had to place many an ad for a handyman, due to shoddy workmanship, quitting or sloppiness like splattering paint on hardwood floors. After Sarah prays to have someone respond, the door to the community room opens and a six-foot-plus man walks in. 

Bodie applies for a handyman job unknowingly with Sarah, who made him the quilt. All this time, he thought she was an elderly woman and here she is, younger than him. We are quickly taken through how Bodie is fixing up Sarah’s house and maybe her heart. Bodie gets dragged into some Christmas cheer, despite his unwillingness. We are then taken on an amazing journey of the restoration of Sarah’s Bed & Breakfast. The twist is a pending job for Bodie with iSecure. The woes of restoring an old house into a Bed & Breakfast. Who would of thought you needed more bathrooms? Geez, if a woman was a designer of corporate office buildings as well as public places, there would be a million to one more bathrooms for woman than men.

This book is complete with the recipe for the Cinnamon Swirl Bread and the directions on how to make the Stars and Stripes, Quilt of Valor Group Project.
