From New
York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick comes a
beautiful
novel of sisterhood lost and found--and of the ways we
create the rich
tapestries that encompass the past and the future...
The economic downturn has hit New Bern, Connecticut, and
Tessa
Woodruff's herbal apothecary shop, For the Love of Lavender, is
suffering. So is her once-happy thirty-four-year marriage to Lee. They'd
given
up everything to come back to New Bern from Boston and start
their business,
but now they're wondering if they made the right
decision. To relieve the
strain, Tessa signs up for a quilting class
at the Cobbled Court Quilt Shop,
and to her surprise, rediscovers the
power of sisterhood--along with the
childhood friend she thought she'd
lost forever...
Madelyn Beecher left New Bern twenty years ago and never
looked
back. But when her husband is convicted of running a Ponzi scheme and
she's left with nothing but her late grandmother's cottage, she is
forced to
return to the town she fled. Unfortunately, the cottage is
in terrible shape.
Madelyn's only hope is to transform it into an inn.
But to succeed, she'll
need the help of her fellow quilters,
including the one friend she never
thought she'd see again--or
forgive. Now Madelyn and Tessa will have to
relive old memories, forge
new ones, and realize it's possible to start over,
one stitch at a
time--as long as you're surrounded by friends...
