Set in a picturesque Maine beach town, bestselling author
Holly Chamberlin's heartwarming and insightful novel delves
into the choices and changes faced by two families over the
course of one eventful summer. . .
Everyone in Yorktide, Maine, knows sixteen-year-old Sarah
Bauer. She's a good student and a dutiful daughter, as well
as a beloved best friend to Cordelia Kane. So it's a
surprise to all when sensible Sarah reveals that she is
pregnant.
Though shocked, Sarah's family is supportive. But while
Sarah reconciles herself to a new and different future, the
consequences ripple in all directions. Her father--a proud,
old-time Mainer--tries to find more work to defray expenses.
Her younger sister grapples with a secret she can't share.
Cordelia feels abandoned, and Cordelia's mother faces the
repercussions of a long-ago decision. As Sarah's mother,
Cindy, frets about how she'll juggle childcare with her job
at the local quilting store, she seizes on an idea: to band
together and make a baby quilt. Piece by piece, a beautiful
design emerges. And as it progresses, reflecting the hopes
and cares of the women who create it, each will find
strength in the friendship and love that sustains them, in
hardship and in joy. . .
