A Roaring Twenties adventure unfolds in The Quilter's
Homecoming, as Jennifer Chiaverini continues her
bestselling Elm Creek Quilts series "that neatly stitches
together social drama and the art of quilting" (Library
Journal). As young bride Elizabeth Bergstrom Nelson sets
off with her husband, Henry, from her family home of Elm
Creek Manor in Pennsylvania, this rich historical narrative
travels to the unfamiliar terrain of southern California,
where the adventurous newlyweds embrace a life as dramatic
as the landscape.
Expecting to assume ownership of
Triumph Ranch, the couple instead learns that their deed is
a fake, and that they must work for the rightful proprietors
to earn their keep. Resourceful Elizabeth trades her
trousseau -- including the fine quilts stitched by her
Bergstrom relatives -- for the practical goods the Nelsons
need to survive and finds friendship with California native
Rosa Diaz Barclay. Yet it is Elizabeth's discovery of a
mysterious cache of quilts made by a member of the Diaz
family that reveals a misplaced legacy of love, land, and
ancestral ties. Only by stitching the rift between the past
and the future can the inhabitants of Triumph Ranch hope to
live in peace alongside history.
