In her compelling, beautifully crafted novel, New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick celebrates friendships old and new--and the unlikely threads that sometimes lead us exactly where we need to be. . .
Christmas is fast approaching, and New Bern, Connecticut, is
about to receive the gift of a new pastor, hired sight
unseen to fill in while Reverend Tucker is on sabbatical.
Meanwhile, Margot Matthews' friend, Abigail, is trying to
match-make even though Margot has all but given up on
romance. She loves her job at the Cobbled Court Quilt Shop
and the life and friendships she's made in New Bern; she
just never thought she'd still be single on her fortieth
birthday.
It's a shock to the entire town when
Phillip A. Clarkson turns out to be Philippa. Truth be told,
not everyone is happy about having a female pastor. Yet
despite a rocky start, Philippa begins to settle in--finding
ways to ease the townspeople's burdens, joining the quilting
circle, and forging a fast friendship with Margot. When
tragedy threatens to tear Margot's family apart, that
bond--and the help of her quilting sisterhood--will prove a
saving grace. And as she untangles her feelings for another
new arrival in town, Margot begins to realize that it is the
surprising detours woven into life's fabric that provide its
richest hues and deepest meaning. . .
