About the book:
They both want the promotion. But will they find
out that it is worth the cost?
Molly Henderson and Ben Weaver have been rival magazine writers for the same
publishing group for years. When both come up for the same promotion, they find
themselves in an unexpected competition to win the spot. Molly, editor of
Quilter's Heart, and Ben, editor of Outdoor Adventures, must switch roles, each
working for the other for one month, then submit an article at the end of their
quests.
Can girly-girl Molly survive the outdoor adventures
that Ben has planned? Can Ben navigate the perils of the social dynamics of
quilting events without destroying a valuable quilt in one short month? More
importantly, in this he-said, she-said situation, will Molly and Ben give in to
their attraction and fall in love, no matter who wins?

My thoughts:
We all get into our comfort zones and then have a hard time getting out of them. Molly had a lot of allergies when she was young so, while her older brother played tons of sports and spent hours outdoors, her parents kept her inside where she was safe from harm. She translated that into her adult life and never tried anything outdoorsy until the day he boss issued a challenge. Molly, the editor or a quilting magazine, and Ben, the recently hired editor or a outdoor adventure, are both up for a new position. The challenge is they each have to do a task for the opposite magazine. Ben has to make a quilt with a quilting group and Molly has to enter a kayaking competition.
Ben and Molly get a chance to go outside of their comfort zones, get to know one another and grow and change. By the end of the story they are both different than how they started due to their own journeys and the friendships they form along the way. I love this quote from page 186 made by one of Molly's quilting friend. "The moral of the story is about supporting each other. No one is an island, Molly. Having people in our lives enriches us. It is as simple as that." Meeting new people, being in new situations and getting to know others is what life is all about. If we allow ourselves to get too comfortable, we stop growing and living. Through making quilts and getting outdoors and helping women in need, these characters learned about themselves and enriched their own lives.
