My review:  This is the second book I have read from the Quilts of Love series.  This story is about Flora Saferight and Bruce Milikan, two Quakers who are charged with a mission to take a pregnant slave couple on the underground railroad.  Flora was chosen for her midwife skills and Bruce for his expertise in underground railroad missions.  Though they have not gotten along in the past the journey they go on requires them to rely on God and one another.  This changes their relationship forever.

I enjoyed this book.  The risks that were taken and the love that was shown through Flora and Bruce to the couple they never met was a testament to allowing God's love to shine through you.
