Another season of Elm Creek Quilt Camp has come to a close,
and Bonnie Markham faces a bleak and lonely winter ahead,
with her quilt shop out of business and her divorce looming.
A welcome escape comes when Claire, a beloved college
friend, unexpectedly invites her to Maui to help launch an
exciting new business: a quilter’s retreat set at a bed and
breakfast amid the vibrant colors and balmy breezes of the
Hawaiian Islands. Soon Bonnie finds herself looking out on
sparkling waters and banyan trees, planning quilting
courses, and learning the history and intricacies of
Hawaiian quilting, all the while helping Claire run the
inn.
As Bonnie’s adventure unfolds, it quickly becomes
clear that Claire’s new business isn’t the only excitement
in store for her. Her cheating, soon-to-be ex-husband
decides he wants her stake in Elm Creek Quilts, which
threatens not only her financial well-being but her dearest
friendships as well. Luckily she has the artistic challenge
of creating her own unique Hawaiian quilt pattern to
distract her—and new friends like Hinano Paoa, owner of the
Nä Mele Hawai‘i Music Shop, who introduces Bonnie to the
fascinating traditions of Hawaiian culture and reminds her
that love can be found when and where you least expect it.
