Book Summary:
In a land of constant struggle, one woman finds hope while forging her path to freedom.
Born into slavery on a South Carolina plantation, Delphina’s only solace was the friendship of her mistress, Mary. When her owners die, Delphina is whisked away by a disenchanted plantation owner’s son, Bennett, to the Wild West, where she envisions the promise of freedom and new beginnings. But Bennett’s sudden death leaves Delphina and her newborn daughter, Mary Ellen, vulnerable and alone. Without legal proof of freedom or marriage and no means to provide for her child, Delphina is taken in by the compassionate Shankel family. Despite the limitations imposed by society, Delphina feels a divine call to serve those who show her kindness.
Moses, a freedman with a heart as large as his towering frame, is drawn to Delphina and her plight. Despite having little to his name, he desires to support the brown-eyed beauty, even as he longs to win her heart. As their lives weave together, Delphina’s gentle strength and Moses’s unwavering determination stitch comfort into a world where every stride forward is fraught with peril and unpredictability. Together, they navigate the intricate fabric of their lives, unearthing resilience and discovering love and purpose in the most unforeseen corners.
When a chance at love and a new life presents itself, will Delphina have the courage to seize it? Find out in the gripping novella Stitched on My Heart, an inspirational historical tale of resilience and love in a land as expansive as the characters’ desire for freedom.
