From New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick comes a beautiful novel of sisterhood lost and foundโand of the ways we create the rich tapestries that encompass the past and the futureโฆ
The economic downturn has hit New Bern, Connecticut, and Tessa Woodruffโs herbal apothecary shop, For the Love of Lavender, is suffering. So is her once-happy thirty-four-year marriage to Lee. Theyโd given up everything to come back to New Bern from Boston and start their business, but now theyโre 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 sisterhoodโalong with the childhood friend she thought sheโd lost foreverโฆ
Madelyn Beecher left New Bern twenty years ago and never looked back. But when her husband is convicted of running a Ponzi scheme and sheโs left with nothing but her late grandmotherโs cottage, she is forced to return to the town she fled. Unfortunately, the cottage is in terrible shape. Madelynโs only hope is to transform it into an inn. But to succeed, sheโll need the help of her fellow quilters, including the one friend she never thought sheโd see againโor forgive. Now Madelyn and Tessa will have to relive old memories, forge new ones, and realize itโs possible to start over, one stitch at a timeโas long as youโre surrounded by friendsโฆ
