About the Book
Dumped by her fiancé a week before the wedding, Savannah Mast flees California for her Amish grandmother's farm, where she becomes unexpectedly entangled in the search for a missing Amish girl. When she discovers her childhood friend Tommy Miller is implicated as a suspect, she must do all she can to find the Amish girl and clear his name.Book Synopsis
When Everything's Fallen Apart, Can She Piece Together the Truth?After Savannah Mast's fiancé dumps her a week before their wedding, she flees California for the safety of her Amish grandmother's farm near Nappanee, Indiana, where she used to spend her summers. Savannah intends her stay to be brief, but when an Amish woman goes into labor in the middle of a blizzard and needs Savannah's help, she finds herself unexpectedly entangled in their family's drama. The woman's oldest daughter, Miriam, goes missing and Savannah's childhood friend Tommy Miller is implicated.
Jane Berger, the local historian and owner of a nearby quilt shop, tells her a similar tale of another woman's disappearance in the 1800s, inspiring Savannah to do all she can to help with the search for Miriam. But when Tommy's own cousin testifies against him, she isn't sure who she can trust.
And when events stir up painful memories of her mother, she must face her own truth: that her engagement isn't the only thing in her life that is broken.

Captivating dual time Amish fiction
5 out of 5 stars

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.
Absolutely LOVED This Dual-time Amish Novel
5 out of 5 stars
Babbling Becky L - 5 years ago
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 a copy 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.
