David M. Gullstrand’s The Christmas Quilt Weaves a Heartfelt Tale of Love, Legacy, and Home
ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES — In his debut novel, The Christmas Quilt, David M. Gullstrand delivers a moving holiday story about family, fate, and the unseen threads that bind us together. With rich storytelling and deep emotional resonance, this novel is poised to become a seasonal favorite for years to come.
At the heart of the story is Sergeant First Class Sugar Smithhouse, a dedicated soldier finally returning home for Christmas. What she expects is warmth and reunion. What she doesn’t expect is the unraveling of a long-buried family secret, one that leads her and her sister Cookie on a path toward truth, love, and the power of destiny.
Their discovery traces back to a tragic orphanage fire that separated twin sisters, Christmas and Eve, decades earlier. Through an old diary and a quilt stitched with memories, the past collides with the present in a way that proves that family is more than blood—it’s the love that withstands time and distance.
“This book is more than just a Christmas story,” says Gullstrand. “It’s about family—both the ones we are born into and the ones we choose. It’s about the legacy we leave, the threads that connect us, and the love that outlives us.”
With the cozy charm of a Vermont winter, the heartache of lost connections, and the hope of second chances, The Christmas Quilt is a beautifully woven tale of resilience and reunion.
Perfect for fans of Louise Penny, Nicholas Sparks, and Richard Paul Evans, this novel is a must-read holiday treasure that reminds us that no matter how far we drift, love always finds its way home.
