Synopsis

Magnolia Grace never wanted to leave Georgia. She never wanted to move with her mama to the farm her daddy owned before he died. But now here she is—in a tiny Vermont town where everybody sings the praises of the father she never knew. Then Maggie meets the Parker family—two moms, six kids, plus a pony. The Parkers are loud and wild, ask lots of questions, and don't follow any of the rules Maggie grew up with in Georgia. Suddenly Maggie has questions too—questions about her father and why Mama kept him away for so long. In her search for answers, Maggie will learn that families are like patchwork quilts, sewn together by love, and all the more beautiful for their different colors.

Goodreads review by Jenn on February 12, 2017

A tender, lovely book about understanding your parents, finding yourself in a new place, and making new friends.

The catch is that she and her southern belle of a mother must live there for at least one year before the......more
