Marie Bostwick weaves the unforgettable story of four very different women whose paths cross, changing their lives forever.

It’s a long way from Fort Worth, Texas, to New Bern, Connecticut, yet it only takes a day in the charming Yankee town to make Evelyn Dixon realize she’s found her new home. The abrupt end of her marriage was Evelyn’s wake-up call to get busy chasing her dream of opening a quilt shop. Finding a storefront is easy enough; starting a new life isn’t.

Little does Evelyn imagine it will bring a trio like Abigail Burgess, her niece Liza, and Margot Matthews through her door. Troubled and angry after her mother’s death, Liza threatens to embarrass her aunt Abigail all over town unless she joins her for quilting classes. A victim of downsizing at the peak of her career, Margot hopes an event hosted by the quilt shop could be a great chance to network—and keep from dying of boredom.

As they stitch their unique creations, Evelyn, Abigail, Liza, and Margot form a sisterhood they never sought—but one that they’ll be grateful for when the unexpected provides a poignant reminder of the single thread that binds us all.

What the critics say

"[A] buoyant novel about the value of friendship among women…a tantalizing book club contender.” ( Publishers Weekly)
“[A] pleasant story of friendship, with a message of starting over despite the odds…this comforting book is highly recommended.” ( Library Journal)

The story was okay, albeit predictable. I think I would have still enjoyed it, but the voice acting was so dramatic and didn’t suit the characters. All the characters sounded the same because of how the book was performed.

Predictable story, very dramatic performance

This was the most predictable and frustrating book I've ever read. The dialogue was painful - no one actually talks the way these characters do! And the sweeping, sudden, grand realizations all of these characters repeatedly come to left me rolling my eyes over and over again. I only read this because it was available at the library and, by the description, it sounded like it had way more substance than it actually does. Battling cancer, divorce, unemployment - there was so much potential here! #Audible1
