But now, to meet the terms of Alice's eccentric will, Lucy has taken up temporary residence in her sister's cottageand begins to see the town, and Alice's life, anew. Alice's diverse group of friends appears to have little in common besides an interest in quilting. Yet deep affection for Alice united them and soon Lucy, too, is brought into the fold as they share problems and stories. And as she finds warmth and support in this new circle, Lucy begins to understand this will be her sister's enduring gifta chance to move beyond her difficult past and find what she has long been missing . . .
