Product Description
From Library Journal
With their grandmother Mattie, the Mitchell sistersAAshley, Brook, Connie, Deirdre, and EricaAstand united in pain at the funeral of their mother, the famous actress Rachelle Barrister. Rachelle abandoned the girls on Mattie's doorstep almost as soon as each was born, and they resent her for it, wondering, "How does one pay one's last respects when there was no respect in the first place?" Their resentment creates stumbling blocks in their relationships with one another and with God. As they drift back into their own lives, Mattie's goodbye reminds them that their blood is a slender thread holding them together and that if they don't work at maintaining it, the thread will break. And it does break when Mattie rips apart a special quilt she had made for her girls and sends a piece to each one. In the wake of the quilt, Ashley's and Deirdre's lives begin to unravel, and it takes the entire family to piece them back together. Highlighting the weaknesses and strengths of a family, Peterson (A Promise for Tomorrow) offers a contemporary tale suitable for all collections.

I really liked this story. I picked it up because the book jacket looked interesting, but I had no idea the book would be this good. I finished it in just a few hours, and truly enjoyed it. The characters were well written and I felt like I got to know them over the course of the 380 pages. I won't spoil the ending, but this book moved me to tears.
Format:Paperback
I am a Kansas woman with five sisters and I could relate to all of the sisters but mostly I relate to Mattie. I have found in my 65 years how hard it is to keep families together. A devastating loss of my nephew has weighed heavily and this book was so enlightning in showing the way that God helps us cope. I hope Tracie Peterson makes a continuing saga of the six women in this story. Let's hear more about their walks through life with God.

I think the thing I enjoyed most about this book was the interplay of the five sisters. Each of them are very different and I think that the author did a good job of giving each of them depth and also weaving the story around each of their lives, but also joining it together at the end. I enjoyed the setting of their grandmother's farm in Kansas and also the use of quilts in story. I definitely would recommend this book.
