From the beloved and bestselling author of the Ransom Canyon and Harmony, Texas series comes a powerful, heartwarming story about generations of family and the ironclad bonds they forge
Jillian James has never had a place she could call home. So when she lands in the sleepy Texas town of Laurel Springs, she’s definitely not planning to stay—except to find a few clues about the father who abandoned her and destroyed her faith in family.
Connor Larady is desperate: he’s a single dad, and his grandmother, Eugenia, has Alzheimer’s. He’s the only one around to care for her, and he has no idea how. And now he has to close the quilt shop Eugenia has owned all her life. When Connor meets down-on-her-luck Jillian, he’s out of options. Can he trust the newcomer to do right by his grandmother’s legacy?
Jillian is done with attachments. But the closer she grows to Connor and Eugenia, the higher the stakes of her leaving get. She has to ask herself what love and family mean to her, and whether she can give up the only life she’s ever known for a future with those who need her.

Summary
Mornings on Main by Jody Thomas is a must read. Jody has the unique ability to capture your attention and make you read faster and at the same time you want to savor every moment of this book. Whether it was the stolen moments where Julianne and Collin could be alone or the moments with the grandmother. Julianne is just passing through town. She never stays anywhere very long and doesn’t get involved. Collin has never left the small town that he lives in and takes care of. He takes care of everyone except himself. The relationship between the two them was the sweetest and the most heartwrenching of the books I have read.
The stories with the quilts were fascinating. It could’ve been a book all in itself. I never would’ve thought a quilting book could be so interesting. I finished the book last night with several tears. It was so moving as you watch the grandmother and Joe and the moments with Jillian coming to terms with the people who did not want a life with her and the man who did.
Jody has a unique ability to create secondary characters like the daughter Sunnie and her boyfriend Reese that adds those special touches to a story and make it feel so real. The book is authentic, real, and emotional. It’s definitely on my must read list.
Sex - one scene with very few details. almost closed door.
violence - someone beats up Reese
