Book One: A Quilt For Jenna

Jerusha has spent months making the most beautiful quilt anyone in Apple Creek, Ohio, has ever seen, and she knows she’s going to take first prize at the Quilt Fair in Dalton.  The prize will be her ticket out of the Amish way of life; away from the memories of her dead daughter and her tormented husband.  But on the way to the Fair, she gets caught in the Storm of The Century and Jerusha’s driver crashes their car.  While the driver goes for help, Jerusha is led by someone, or something, to the side of a lost little girl.  By the time the storm clears, Jerusha finds that there is a greater prize to be won than money and blue ribbons ...

P atrick Craig is a lifelong musician and writer who left a successful career in the music industry after two albums on Warner Brothers Records and years of live performances in one of San Francisco's most popular music groups to follow Christ in 1984.

After ministering in music and worship the last few years with his wife Judy to a circuit of small churches in Northern California, Patrick is now concentrating on writing and publishing both fiction and non-fiction titles.

P atrick draws his stories and teaching from a rich tapestry of life experience - growing up in the Pacific Northwest and roaming the high Wallowa mountains as a boy, working summers in the fields around his hometown of Walla Walla, Washington, playing music professionally from the age of thirteen, moving to Seattle in the 60's and from there to San Francisco in the Summer of Love... then having a life changing encounter with Jesus Christ and meeting his wife Judy in Bible College, Years of ministry , teaching and preaching, two daughters and five grandchildren; all of this contributes to a deep well that Patrick draws from to create stories and teaching that are rich in spiritual valuess, Christ exalting, and just plain good to read.
