"Good book. I didn't read the first one in the series- just saw this at the library and it looked intriguing. But, I dont' think I missed much... this one still made sense. If you like quilting, and coming of age stories, this one is good. I enjoyed it anyway. "
— Christina (4 out of 5 stars)
" I hope she adds more to this series eventually "
— Carolyn, 11/22/2013" This book was an easy read - nothing heavy in terms of the plot and characters so in that respect it was quite refreshing. "
— Elicia, 11/16/2013" Actually I give this book 3 1/2 stars. It was a somewhat predictable story and i thought it was supposed to be in the 1880's, but some of the things said did not sound like that era. It wasnt a horrible book but it wasnt fabulous. "

— Rosamond, 11/4/2010" I really enjoyed this book. I can't say the plot was what made this book. I just really liked the characters. They were written very well. My only complaint was that it ended a bit flat. I was looking for a little more from the ending. "
