When a band of runaway slaves brings Union-loyal Beth Bumgartner a
wounded Confederate soldier named Joe, it is the catalyst that pushes
her to defy her pacifist parents and become a nurse during the Battle of
Antietam. Her mother's mysterious goodbye gift is filled with quilt
blocks that bring comfort to Beth during the hard days and lonely
nights, but as she sews each block, she realizes there is a hidden
message of faith within the pattern that encourages and sustains her.
Reunited with Joe, Beth learns his secret and puts the quilt's message
to its greatest test - but can betrayal be forgiven?
