Between Heaven and Texas

fullDescription

The New York Times–bestselling author of the Cobbled Court Quilts series introduces a quirky Texas town and a young woman about to discover her destiny.

Welcome to Too Much, Texas, where the women are strong-willed and the men are handsome yet shiftless. Ever since Mary Dell Templeton and her twin sister Lydia Dale were children, their Aunt Velvet has warned them away from local boys. But it's well known that the females in Mary Dell's family have two traits in common—superior sewing skills and a fatal weakness for men.

While Lydia Dale grows up petite and pretty, Mary Dell just keeps growing. Tall, smart, and sassy, she is determined to one day turn her love of sewing into a business. Meanwhile, she'll settle for raising babies with her new husband, Donny. But that dream proves elusive too, until finally, Mary Dell gets the son she always wanted—a child as different as he is wonderful. And as Mary Dell is forced to reconsider what truly matters in her family and her marriage, she begins to piece together a life that, like the colorful quilts she creates, will prove vibrant, rich, and absolutely unforgettable . . .

"Powerful, inspiring, and uplifting!" —#1 New York Times–bestselling author Robyn Carr

This book wrapped around my heart with all the love, warmth, and beauty of a favorite family quilt. I can't stop thinking about it! I am in love with Mary Dell Templeton and I'm in love with Too Much, Texas. I want to go back -- soon!" --Robyn Carr, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Virgin River Series

     "A book that brims with laughter and laser-sharp insight." Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author Marie's quotes"Marie Bostwick's BETWEEN HEAVEN AND TEXAS is a brilliant story that left me hungry for more. The characters thunder with life right off the page and into your heart. It's the quintessential story of family, forgiveness and nobility. I just adored every single page. Bravo, Ms. Bostwick!

     Even when they were girls in Texas, Mary Dell Templeton's tendency to speak her mind set her apart from her twin sister, Lydia Dale. After both young women succumb to the family's "fatal flaw" (falling for "a certain sort of man"), it is sisterhood that gets them through the rough times--everything from Lydia's divorce to the birth of Mary Dell's beloved son, who has Down syndrome, to the subsequent disappearance of Mary Dell's husband. The sisters, inspired by a long line of determined Texas women, set about running a ranch on their own and launching Mary Dell on the path to becoming a quilting legend. VERDICT Fans of Bostwick's five "Cobbled Court Quilt" novels will relish this prequel for the opportunity to see high-spirited Mary Dell Templeton in her younger years. It's a book for fans of novels featuring sassy, independent women, Southern novels with witty dialog, or stories featuring quilting. Readers looking for tales of families dealing with children with special needs may also appreciate Bostwick's realistic handling of the issues involving the birth of a child with Down syndrome.--Lesa Holstine, Evansville Vanderburgh P.L., IN
