Georgia Sweethearts

By Missy Tippens

Description:

A Pattern For Love...
After inheriting her great-aunt's failing yarn shop, Lilly Barnes is determined to make it a success. All she wants is stability, something she doesn't think possible in the small town of Corinthia, Georgia. Then Pastor Daniel Foreman rents space in her store to hold meetings for his growing congregation, and this proves to be her lifeline. At first Lilly wants nothing to do with Daniel's big dreams, but she soon finds herself starting to share his goals. Yet trouble between her customers and his congregation make them both doubt the path they're on. That is, until practical Lilly shows him that love is a risk worth taking.

Book Takeaway:

Trying to protect ourselves and follow our own plans leads to loneliness and isolation. But trusting God with our lives, and risking love, leads to the rich, fulfilling life God intends.

Why the author wrote this book:

I came up with the idea while having a terrible time trying to re-learn to knit. I started thinking about a heroine in my situation. How did she get there? What would she do if a total clutz at knitting inherited a yarn shop and needed to make a success of it?
