I fell in love with the Stafford siblings and their romance troubles (and their neighbors too, especially the mischievous Testament Brothers)! It was fun to see how each brother (and a sister) fought love, only to end up right in the middle of it!

These stories, written by four authors, blend well and make you feel like you're a part of the family. I especially enjoyed the stitching theme 'woven' thru-out (sorry, I couldn't resist).

Join the family fun and read about Micah, Louisa, Josh, and Sam as love blooms in No Man's Land west of the Oklahoma territory!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and liked the way the novella's built on each other. The characters were--for the most part--realistic and the stories well-written. I loved the Testement brothers, they added a fun touch to the stories.

You won't be disappointed by this novella collection.

Each one of the stories were delightful. My favorite was "Double Cross." It was a fun book to read.

Caught me up in the Stanford life, and felt like I was one of the family. Each book is about 89 pages, but the story is full, family is carried over to the next story, but a different family member as the focal point. So it makes it like a longer story. Yet each story is totally complete in itself.

The concept for this book is very interesting to begin with. The book contains four novellas, about the same characters, but each are written by a different author. Each novella takes the perspective of one of the Stafford siblings and his or her love interest. The book is easy to read and sewing images are clever. The first three stories were pretty good and built on each other well. The last story was disappointing. After investing myself in the first three and getting to know and love the characters, I found them to be a lot different in the fourth novella. The surface things were the same (timeline, names, position etc. . .) but after enjoying and liking the characters for the first three stories, they were not likeable or sympathetic in the last story. The wisdom and grace in the older characters (the characteristics that made them the people that you would want to go to when you had a problem) was completely missing. The Godly encouragement and lessons learned were also missing. The main characters in the third story didn't seem to grow in the Lord or even develop. I love the time period and read a lot of books in this type of setting. I enjoy the unique trials and triumphs usually found with this type of fiction, but I would have to say that I only enjoyed it half as much in this book. I would like to see this same concept (four novellas, same characters, different authors) done more often, but done better
