From Library Journal: "Sarah McClure and her husband, Matt, have just moved to Waterford, PA. While Matt finds work with a landscape company, Sarah, an accountant, wants to try something new. With no leads and no offers, she is depressed and frustrated. When elderly Sylvia Compson asks Sarah to help prepare her family estate for sale, Sarah finds new friends, and Sylvia, a master craftswoman, agrees to teach Sarah how to quilt. Sarah's new relationship inspires an exchange of confidences; she learns about Sylvia's "family skeletons" while facing her own difficult relationship with her mother. Patiently piecing scraps of material, the quilters explore both women's lives, stitching details and solutions together slowly but with courage and strength."
I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick, easy read with characters that were well-written and real. I hate when main characters are perfect and flawless (a flaw in itself) - people with whom you can't identify. Chiaverini didn't do that with her characters. They all had issues that they were all trying to deal with and the realness of them made you root for them. I look forward to reading the rest of this series and see where their lives have taken them. (Next in the series is Round Robin.)
