Mallory Phillips is a gifted artisan, an experienced quilter whose creations speak to the soul. But Mallory, haunted by demons, longs to ascend from the depths of her own hell. Raised by a manipulative father and married to a controlling, abusive man, she has fallen into a life of obedience rather than choice. Empty of self-worth and confidence, she struggles to find her own strength and identity. Then fate unexpectedly intervenes; her redemption is offered to her in the form of a gentle, caring and honest man named Skyler.

Striving to be the best professional in his field, Skyler Madison comes to realize that his life has become merely a matter of choices between mundane business assignments. When the biggest decision facing him is whether to take a work assignment in Dallas or Chicago, he becomes overwhelmed by thoughts of what is missing in his life. Searching for something he cannot define, providence steps in; a chance encounter with an intriguing woman named Mallory offers him that passionate existence for which he yearns.

Their lives have always been defined by the demands of others but when Skyler and Mallory meet, hope suddenly appears and they start living on their own terms.

Facing this tribulation together propels Skyler and Mallory on an unexpected journey filled with miraculous joy and overwhelming challenges that come together, piece by piece, to quilt the story of their lives.
