Threads Of Hope

Passed over for promotion and dumped by her boyfriend, Nina O’Malley is further frustrated when her editor assigns her one of the “soft” stories she despises–covering a gala benefit supporting the AIDS Memorial. More determined than ever to prove she deserves a promotion to the NY office, Nina decides to write a series featuring the benefit and a local quilting group raising money for AIDs research, not that she cares about any of it, but her editor does. And if she has to pretend she’s interested, she will.

Reluctantly, she goes to the benefit, only to find Greg, her high school crush, there, creating yet another awkward, socially embarrassing situation where he is involved. She comes to learn Greg is widowed and is involved with the quilting group because he and his wife adopted Jazarah, an HIV positive daughter from Ethiopia. Greg, unlike Nina, has faith in a loving God, and he trusts in God’s plan for his life.

Greg and Nina grow closer, and as Nina interviews the quilt families, she begins to question the choices she made in her life and her lack of faith. Nina suddenly finds herself facing two possible dreams, two paths for her life.
