New to Stoney Ridge, schoolteacher Mollie has come to town for a fresh start. When Luke Schrock, new to his role as deacon, asks the church to take in foster girls from a group home, she's the first to raise her hand. The power of love, she believes, can pick up the dropped stitches in a child's heart and knit them back together. The 11-year-old twins she takes in bring her sleepless nights and police visits... and then the girls accuse Mollie of drug addiction. When they girls show an interest in horses, horse trainer Sam Schrock gets drawn into Mollie's chaotic life. Will love knit together the dropped stitches in his own heart? -- adapted from back cover.
