In “The Cherished Quilt”, we see the return of Emily Fisher, the sister of Veronica and Rachel, whom we met in “The Forgotten Recipe” and “The Courtship Basket”. In this third book in the Amish Heirloom Series, we follow Emily in her quest to build a friendship with Christopher, a new employee at her father’s shop, who has suffered a tremendous loss and dealing with a broken heart.
Immediately into the story, Clipston grabs your heart by describing Christopher’s anguish, guilt and torment over the loss of his family member. You find yourself wanting to comfort Christopher and wanting him to find some happiness and sparkle in his life.
Your heart is also drawn to Emily, who clearly puts others before herself and while finds herself happy for her sister’s exciting times in their lives, also struggles with jealousy. Both characters exhibit feelings we can all relate to: Sadness, discouragement, happiness, and guilt.
This book tackles issues that most of us have felt at some point in our lives and you feel drawn to the characters, Emily and Christopher, while learning more about Emily’s sisters and the path their lives have taken. You can relate to the characters and long and wish for them to find the happiness they desire for.
The story is well written and does a great job of weaving in the stories from the first two books of the series. Although it certainly is helpful to read the first two books, it isn’t necessary as Clipston does a great job of summarizing them into Emily’s story.
This is certainly a page turner and keeps you engrossed in the story from the beginning to the end. You find yourself relating to the characters, getting frustrated over their decisions and yet understanding their feelings and emotions as if you were going through the experience and struggles yourself.
I would highly recommend this book to young adults and adults, those interested in romance, suspense and Amish Christian. This book will touch your heart and you will find yourself wanting to get to know Emily and Christopher more and more as the story continues.

Q&A with author Amy Clipston
What common themes appear throughout your work?
My books always contain a theme of second chances and renewed faith in God. I hope that readers walk away from this book with a belief in new beginnings and a deeper faith that God provides for us and will get us through the storms in our lives.
What fascinates you about the Amish way of life?
I was always fascinated with the Amish when I was a child. I remember visiting Lancaster County when I was younger, and my father, who was a German immigrant, told me the Amish speak a dialect that is similar to my German relatives. I was drawn to their simplicity and their strong faith. Due to my German heritage, I feel a loose connection to the culture. I love how their culture is focused on family and God. I’m fascinated by how the Amish continue to keep their traditional ways while the world around them changes with the advances in technology. They are loyal to their culture, and they take care of each other.
