A touching contemporary from Readers & 'ritas author
From New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick
comes a beautiful novel of sisterhood lost and found—and of
the ways we create the rich tapestries that encompass the
past and the future…
The economic downturn has hit New Bern, Connecticut, and
Tessa Woodruff’s herbal apothecary shop, For the Love of
Lavender, is suffering. So is her once-happy
thirty-four-year marriage to Lee. They’d given up everything
to come back to New Bern from Boston and start their
business, but now they’re wondering if they made the right
decision. To relieve the strain, Tessa signs up for a
quilting class at the Cobbled Court Quilt Shop, and to her
surprise, rediscovers the power of sisterhood—along with the
childhood friend she thought she’d lost forever… Madelyn Beecher left New Bern twenty years ago and never
looked back. But when her husband is convicted of running a
Ponzi scheme and she’s left with nothing but her late
grandmother’s cottage, she is forced to return to the town
she fled. Unfortunately, the cottage is in terrible shape.
Madelyn’s only hope is to transform it into an inn. But to
succeed, she’ll need the help of her fellow quilters,
including the one friend she never thought she’d see
again—or forgive. Now Madelyn and Tessa will have to relive
old memories, forge new ones, and realize it’s possible to
start over, one stitch at a time—as long as you’re
surrounded by friends…
