History is thick with secrets in The Sugar Camp
Quilt, seventh in the beloved Elm Creek Quilts series
from bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini. Set in Creek's
Crossing, Pennsylvania, in the years leading up to the Civil
War, the novel follows Dorothea Granger's passage from
innocence to wisdom against the harrowing backdrop of the
American struggle over slavery. She discovers that a quilt
she has stitched for her uncle Jacob with five unusual
patterns of his own design contains hidden clues to guide
runaway slaves along the Underground Railroad. The heroic
journey she undertakes leads to revelations about her own
courage and resourcefulness -- newfound qualities that may
win her the heart of the best man she has ever known.
