Synopsis

Come home to Marie Bostwicks poignant novel of new beginnings, old friends, and the rich, varied tapestry of lives fully lived. At twentyseven, having fled an abusive marriage with little more than her kids and the clothes on her back, Ivy Peterman figures she has nowhere to go but up.

With a parttime job at Cobbled Court Quilts and budding friendships, Ivy feels hopeful for the first time in ages. But when a popular television quilting show is taped at the quilt shop, Ivys unwitting appearance in an onair promo alerts her exhusband to her whereabouts. Suddenly Ivy is facing the fight of her lifeone that forces her to face her deepest fears as a woman and a mother. This time, however, shes got a sisterhood behind her: companions as complex, strong, and lasting as the quilts they stitch.
