Determined to overcome the despair that has engulfed her
since her husband of twenty-five years walked out on their
marriage, Evelyn Dixon takes a spur-of-the-moment trip
from her home in Texas to see the fall colors in New
England. There, she falls in love with New Bern,
Connecticut, a village that could have been lifted
straight from a Currier and Ives print. Embracing her
newfound impulsivity, Evelyn moves to New Bern and
reawakens her long dormant dream of opening a quilt shop.
But a shocking revelation about her health threatens to
destroy Evelyn’s dream before it begins. As she struggles
with the newfound challenge, one by one three unique women
come into her life, each at a crossroads, all
needing the support the very special bond of friendship
can provide.
When life’s pendulum takes an unexpected swing, these four
very different women come together; facing their fears,
dealing with their pasts, defining their futures, and
filling each other’s gaps. Bound by a surprising thread of
friendship, they stitch together new lives for themselves
in a New England village readers won’t soon forget.
Great read! All of the emotions and interacting of characters is wonderful. Just flows; want more at the end. Can not wait for the next one to arrive in the spring. People helping people kind of story! (Mj Acheson 7:18am November 30, 2008)
