The Singing Quilt (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781596693920)

Can another woman's courage move her to try the impossible to step out and follow God wherever He leads her?
Jolissa Montoya believes God is calling her to work with the disadvantaged children in her inner-city neighborhood. There's only one problem: The children wouldn't be able to understand her. Jolissa suffers from a speech impediment and has a thick accent because Spanish is her first language. Ridiculed through much of her youth, she is quite shy and reticent to speak. She is convinced that what God has spoken to her heart is impossible. Impossible, that is, until one day when she shares her concerns with a confidante who shows her a quilt--a quilt that depicts the life of a courageous woman.
The Singing Quilt is set against the backdrop of the life of Fanny Crosby, who in addition to writing hundreds of songs was also a well-known public speaker and active in Christian rescue missions despite her disability. Readers will be inspired not to let fear or a disability prevent them from answering what they think is God's impossible call. The Singing Quilt is the third book in the contemporary fiction "Quilt" series written by award-winning author Kathi Macias. The series focuses on various social issues, including racial and pro-life issues.
