Between Heaven and Texas is a prequel to Marie's Cobbled Court Quilts series. It is a heartwarming read that makes me eager to read the next book in this fun new series! There is plenty of Texas humor and you'll certainly be entertained with the residents of Too Much, Texas as you see their personalities, hardships and dreams unfold.
Two twin sisters grow up, each with different talents and paths take them in directions that they were not quite what they dreamed of. Lydia Dale has a talent for winning beauty pageants and Mary Dell is a talented seamstress, who teaches herself to quilt and dreams of becoming a quilting legend one day. At a young age, both woman succumb to the family's "fatal flaw" (falling for a "certain sort of man"). But the two sisters have backbone and talent that helps them get through rough times, while they mature into fine young woman who seem to be able to achieve what ever they set their mine to.
SewCalGal recommends this book to every quilter and those that simply enjoy a good heartwarming story. And, certainly if you enjoyed the Cobbled Court Quilt novels, you are definitely going to enjoy this new series, where Mary Dell Templeton is a young woman. If you haven't yet read the Cobbled Court Quilt novels this would also be a great book for you to start with. I just want to warn you, that you will probably fall in love with Mary Dell and Lydia Dale and be as eager as I am to read the next book in this new series!

How delightful! Looks like a wonderful story and a fun blog hop!!
I am eagerly awaiting this book! I can't wait. I love Mary Dell and her son. Such great characters. I can't wait to learn the backstory.
I still like Moon Pies, but, I stopped drinking Dr. Pepper a long time ago, when they added the artificial sweeteners. Too bad Dublin Dr. Pepper isn't made anymore, it had pure cane sugar and was so smooth. I'm looking forward to this book, and not just because I grew up in Texas.
Thanks for sharing about this book. I've never read any of this series, but plan to put this one in my kindle for vacation reading!
