The New York Timesâ??bestselling author of the Cobbled Court Quilts series introduces a quirky Texas town and a young woman about to discover her destiny.

Welcome to Too Much, Texas, where the women are strong-willed and the men are handsome yet shiftless. Ever since Mary Dell Templeton and her twin sister Lydia Dale were children, their Aunt Velvet has warned them away from local boys. But it's well known that the females in Mary Dell's family have two traits in commonâ??superior sewing skills and a fatal weakness for men.

While Lydia Dale grows up petite and pretty, Mary Dell just keeps growing. Tall, smart, and sassy, she is determined to one day turn her love of sewing into a business. Meanwhile, she'll settle for raising babies with her new husband, Donny. But that dream proves elusive too, until finally, Mary Dell gets the son she always wantedâ??a child as different as he is wonderful. And as Mary Dell is forced to reconsider what truly matters in her family and her marriage, she begins to piece together a life that, like the colorful quilts she creates, will prove vibrant, rich, and absolutely unforgettable . . .

4.5 stars. Between Heaven and Texas, Marie Bostwick’s standalone prequel to the Cobbled Court Quilts series, is as heartwarming as it is inspiring. It is also an uplifting novel about the importance of family and finding the strength to overcome adversity. Please click HERE to read my review in its entirety. ( )

This isn't the first book that I have read by Marie Bostwick and it certainly won't be the last. I loved this book. It is full of real life situations.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Templeton family. Mary Dell and Lydia Dale had the strength and bond that is characteristic of not only sisters but twin sisters. The bond between the two made for a delightful read. Their Momma Taffy was quite a piece of work herself!

This book proved that blood is thicker than water. Toward the very end of this book we find that Momma Taffy will do what she has to do to protect her own.

I found myself with many laugh out loud moments. However, there are some very serious issues that take place, along with some heartbreaks. The courage that Mary Dell and Lydia Dale had while facing their trials in life, had me rooting for them until the very end.

Sometimes we don't get the desires of our heart but then again sometimes we get more than what we desire.

I hope that after reading my review, you will pick up a copy of this book. I know you will like it!

Thank you kensington Publishing for sending me an ARC to read and review. I enjoyed it alot! The opinions expressed in this review are mine alone. ( )

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND TEXAS by Marie Bostwick
I first learned of this book from my mother as she's followed the whole series. I knew it dealt with quilting and that was my pull to this book.
Love the color and all the different fabrics and especially the design of the squares. Loved hearing the story of Mary submitting designs to the quilt magazine and how she was rejected time after time.
This has happened to me as well-not quilting but knitting and crochet so I know the pain. The book encompasses a one year span of not only Mary's life, her marriage, Donny walking out of her marriage, the birth of the child
and living on the ranch and taking care of chores and bills. The story also follows others that live on the ranch. She gets her one chance at becoming famous with a quilt store of her own, her articles in a magazine and
the store furnished with stock. Problem is there are many stumbing blocks along the way: losing the store to another, fire at the ranch, etc. It's almost too much, surely too much that she gives in and gives up...
Love hearing what Donny's brother Grayson does with the ranch and Lydia to make them all feel worthwhile. Love hearing of getting everybody with pillows and blankets into the back of the station wagon and going to the drive in-oh the days!
Pretty sure I will get the rest of the books in this series as the storyline is very appealing to me.
I received this book from The Kennsington Books in exchange for my honest opinion. ( )
