 Praise for
 The Tapestry of Grace
 
 “In this heartwarming story, Kim Vogel Sawyer reminds us that family doesn’t always mean people who are related by blood. With tender care, Sawyer has created characters with struggles, pain, and dreams that readers will recognize in their own lives. Through these fictional friends, we see how God’s unending love and grace can mend and restore what was once lost or broken. The pages of The Tapestry of Grace are filled with the kind of hope every one of us yearns for.”
 —Michelle Shocklee, Christianity Today Book Award–winning author of Count the Nights by Stars
 “The Tapestry of Grace is yet another story that shows Kim Vogel Sawyer’s amazing ability to take readers to a different era. Her research and authenticity are wonderful. Augusta and Konrad had me reading well past my bedtime. Told with a steady pace and wonderful details, this is a story that will hold your heart until the last page. I felt as if I lived in this small Kansas town, and frankly, I didn’t want to leave!”
 —Lenora Worth, author of The Christmas Quilt
 “Just like dipping your spoon into a delicious meal, the first taste of The Tapestry of Grace rewards the reader with strong characters and the tease of an intriguing plot. From the very first page and running through every chapter, the story delivers the tantalizing spice of complicated motives in main and minor characters. My heart warmed as I became invested in the lives of these appealing people. Kim Sawyer must be congratulated for delivering a savory story that nourishes the soul of the reader.”
 —Donita K. Paul, award-winning author of the Dragonkeeper Chronicles
