From the author of Birds in the Air, a touching, big-hearted collection of short stories about women whose lives revolve around family, friends and quilt-making. "This collection presents the cozy comfort of characters we quilters easily recognize and relate to, but goes far deeper," writes Marianne Fons. "I was moved to tears repeatedly. Dowell's five short narratives are about the joys and sorrows inherent in the human condition — but with quilts and quilting pleasantly surrounding them."

Frances O'Roark Dowell is the critically-acclaimed author of more than twenty "beloved books for tweens and teenagers" (New York Times Sunday Book Review). In 2016, she founded a small publishing company dedicated to telling the stories of women who quilt.
