A Patchwork of Freedom

Yeah! I am finally finished! Are wondering what I'm so excited about as you watch the little smiley face guy do his happy dance????

I just sent a proposal to my agent, Les Stobbe, for the sequel to Quilting Patches of Life. The name of the book is A Patchwork of Freedom, and here's a bit from the proposal:

THE HOOK
A mysterious quilt code, runaway slaves and the Underground Railroad unite this inspiring collection of contemporary true stories, each with a message of freedom and hope.

SYNOPSIS
Delightful to read, A Patchwork of Freedom pieces together scraps of history, yarns of old, and contemporary tales of liberty and hope in a unique inspirational work. Bringing rich texture and hue to the project, author Lori Wagner intertwines modern-day life lessons experienced by Christian men and women from around the world with an “Underground Railroad Quilt Code” and antebellum America.

Each story, titled with the name of a quilt pattern relating to the “Code” or the Underground Railroad, imparts useful wisdom and insight gained by its contributing author. Some of the topics included are overcoming depression, triumphing over physical challenges, trusting God for miraculous provision on the mission field, coping with a child’s suicide attempt, receiving and extending true forgiveness and coming to terms with infertility struggles. Wagner adds a vignette after each story reflecting on its message and spiritual application and connecting it to its quilt pattern name. A Patchwork of Freedom offers warm, colorful doses of encouragement sure to inspire readers working through their own patches of life.

And now I sleep for a few hours and begin a new project in the morning!
