A Common Thread

Susie Glick returns from a shopping trip laden with beautiful fabric for her quilting group. On the bus ride, Alex Miller -- her crush from three years ago -- sits next to her. Alex left Middlefield to explore the country, and now he's back and ready to join the church. Susie was just a kid when he left, but now she's a woman -- and she definitely has his interest. The women in her quilting circle aren't as excited about Alex's return, assuming that he'll leave again in search of adventure. Susie is convinced they're wrong, but just as they start dating, Alex tells Susie he has to leave. He says he'll return, but Susie must decide whether or not she can trust the man she fears has captured her heart.
