The Plain Patterns series consists of three books published between 2020 and 2022: Piecing It All Together, Patchwork Past, and Threads of Hope. As the titles suggest, quilting and needlework run through these stories as both literal activities and ways of thinking about life’s complications.

Gould has a knack for using everyday Amish traditions to frame bigger questions about love, forgiveness, and belonging. The quilting motif gives each book a distinctive texture, and readers who enjoy craft-themed fiction alongside their romance will appreciate the combination.
