Series: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel

""Chiaverini has once again written an intense and beautiful

book-so much so that readers will almost hear the hollow echo of the

fife and drum as they immerse themselves in every compelling page . . .

Truly unforgettable.""

-BookPage In 1862, the men of Water's Ford, Pennsylvania, rally to President

Lincoln's call while Dorothea Granger marshals her friends to ""wield

their needles for the Union."" Meanwhile, Anneke Bergstrom hides the

shame she feels for her husband's pacifism; gifted writer Gerda

Bergstrom takes on local Southern sympathizers in the pages of the

Water's Ford Register; and Constance Wright struggles to help

her husband gain entry to the Union Army-despite the color of his skin.

As the women work, hope, and pray, the men they love confront

loneliness, boredom, and danger on the battlefield. But the women of

the sewing circle also forge a new independence that will forever alter

the patchwork of life in the Elm Creek Valley.
