Ivy Peterman has a potentially life-threatening secret, one she must protect not only for herself...but also for her children's future. With her resources depleted, Ivy's landed in the small New England town of New Bern, Connecticut. Ivy has no intention to stay longer than necessary, but with the help of the women of the Cobbled Court Quilt shop, she finds a refuge and the strength to stand up for herself when her past catches up with her. As her new-found friends work together to find a way to keep her safe, Ivy slowly learns the lessons of friendship.
A SINGLE THREAD might not be an easy book to read for Marie Bostwick examines a difficult emotional subject and takes it apart piece by piece. When the last page is turned, you realize Bostwick has stitched a truly compelling story of friendship overcoming adversity and a community pulling together for one of its own.

shop, Ivy's unwitting appearance in an on-air promo alerts
her ex-husband to her whereabouts. Suddenly, Ivy is facing
the fight of her life--one that forces her to face her
deepest fears as a woman and a mother. This time, however,
she's got a sisterhood behind her: companions as complex,
strong, and lasting as the quilts they stitch...
