Publisher's summary
A Mennonite widower struggling to raise his mischievous boys becomes the unwilling target of the well-intentioned women's benevolent society in this heartwarming romance inspired by historical events—from the bestselling author of Freedom's Song.
After reading about the popularity in New York of the Frauenverein, a benevolent society dedicated to caring for German widows and orphans, the women of a Mennonite community in Alexandertol, Kansas, eagerly organize their own group and begin to identify the individuals most in need of their assistance.
Schoolteacher Augusta Dyck is particularly grateful to have meaningful work to occupy her time when classes are closed for planting season, and she's certain the quiet and reserved widower Konrad Rempel and his two young twin boys should be high on the list of people to receive help, even if he doesn’t quite agree. Martina Krahn, who founded the community’s Frauenverein, is thankful the society gives her a reason to spend less time in her own unhappy home. And if it means she might find a young boy in need of a family to adopt and answer her husband's desire for a son, all the better.
Will the women’s outreach be the unexpected answer to Konrad’s prayers about his boys and his heart? Will the members of this Mennonite community find the answer to their prayers in one another—or will their conflicting agendas lead only to fresh heartache?

When Gilbert Baty leaves his childhood love and moves to New York City in 1901 to secure his place as a composer and conductor, he is met with rejection at every turn. Out of funds and opportunities, he returns to his hometown, the Mennonite community of Falke, Kansas, in the hopes of finding new inspiration—and work—just to tide him over. Ava Flaming never expected to see Gil again, and his sudden return stirs the old feelings she’d worked so hard to bury. When Gil forms the town’s first youth band, she finds herself falling for him all over again.

Her brother, Andy, died when he became lost in a cave five years earlier, and Rebecca feels responsible for his death because she'd told him to "go, get lost". The best wages at Mammoth Cave are earned by the guides, who receive a salary plus tips from the guests. But only men are allowed to be guides, so Rebecca cuts her hair, dons some of Andy's clothes, and introduces herself as Reb to the estate manager.

Martha Detweiler has a problem many Amish women her age would envy: She’s the only single woman in a community of young men, and they’re all competing for her favor. Overwhelmed by the unwanted attention, Martha finds herself constantly fleeing from her would-be suitors, dismayed at what her life has come to. Birch Creek’s resident matchmaker, Cevilla Schlabach, suggests a solution: Martha and the bishop’s son, Seth Yoder, should pretend they are dating.

Abigail Brantley grew up in affluence and knows exactly how to behave in high society. But when she is cast from the social registers due to her father's illegal dealings, she finds herself forced into a role she never imagined: tutoring rough Kansas ranchers in the subjects of manners and morals so they can "marry up" with their mail-order brides. Mack Cleveland, whose father was swindled by a mail-order bride, wants no part of the scheme to bring Eastern women to Spiveyville, Kansas, but as time goes by, his heart goes out to the teacher.

Twenty-one-year-old Rebecca Hardin is determined to help provide for her family, living a hardscrabble life in 1910 in the Southern Kentucky hills. Her brother, Andy, died when he became lost in a cave five years earlier, and Rebecca feels responsible for his death because she'd told him to "go, get lost". The best wages at Mammoth Cave are earned by the guides, who receive a salary plus tips from the guests. But only men are allowed to be guides, so Rebecca cuts her hair, dons some of Andy's clothes, and introduces herself as Reb to the estate manager.

Another win for Kim Vogel Sawyer
I have never been disappointed with any of Kim Vogel Sawyer’s novels. I just finished Tapestry of Grace and fell in love with her characters. The story is captivating, well written and the narration was also great. The plot involves several families and their struggles, imperfections and various difficulties that include loss, infertility, and life adjustments. It truly is a tapestry of grace, love and the realization to continue living according to God’s will. Very enjoyable.

Beautiful story!
Beautiful story of God's love and the people He brings into our lives. People who need our love and those who will love us. It truly is a tapestry of gace when we look back at the weavings of days and years.

A bit disappointing
I really did not like the narrator, this was a very amateurish production. Now it may have been many years ago, and hopefully she has improved but this wasn’t a good one. Because of that, I didn’t enjoy the story very much, which is unlike other books from Kim Vogel Sawyer that I have listened to or read.
