Synopsis Jennifer Chiaverini continues to have the genre of quilting fiction completely sewn up, piecing together another epic tale told in patches, seams, and fabric. This time, the ladies of Elm Creek discover a Civil War-era quilt, whose pieces form the story of Joanna North, a runaway slave. Joanna had a brief stay at Elm Creek, though she left her son and her quilt behind when she was recaptured and returned to the South. Using Joanna's suggestive quilt as evidence, Master Quilter Sylvia Bergson Compson unravels the mystery of Joanna's fate, and learns the secret healing power of transforming pictures and patches into a legacy.
