In Double Running by Carol Cox, Sam Stafford fights the idea of marriage every step of the way. He doesn’t want to be drawn into the same trap as his two brothers and sister. But when he is forced to be on the planning committee for the annual Independence Day celebration, he starts to take a second look at clumsy Hope Masterson.

A STITCH IN TIME is a real joy to read. I was instantly drawn into the story and fell in love with the characters in the first story Basket Stitch and couldn’t put the book down long enough to do much of anything. I kept saying ‘let me finish the chapter’ and the next thing I knew I was finished with the first novella and into the second.

The characters are delightful, and one couldn’t help falling in love even with the mysterious Testament men who seem to have a gift for finding trouble. Each story builds on the other, so one will need to read each story in order.

Pick up a copy of A STITCH IN TIME today. You won’t be disappointed. The novella by Vickie McDonough is her first published work and I expect you will see more from this talented author. The other stories were equally good.
