Hello, life. How are you today? How does yesterday make you feel? How does the unexpected of today alter your choices? Told by an elderly lady who welcomes a young bride into her dredging town in the Colorado mountains, this novel lends perspective to each day we live and to our lives as a whole.
The novel is all about life and death, forgiveness, and quilting. I've pieced many baby quilts and made a few larger quilts too, though I'm still working on the first large 'pieced' quilt. The dedication, time, and energy spent on quilting - and the importance of quilting to the lives of those women - was a new concept for me. One of the quilts plays a central role in the main story of forgiveness that is threaded throughout the book, and one of the fabrics in the story is a symbol of love, family, status, and friendship.
You will laugh and cry, learn and awe as you read this tale of vision and love. Enjoy.
