From AudioFile
Christina Moore delivers a first-rate performance of this poignant story, making the characters come to life in the minds of listeners. The story centers on the life of Dorothea Granger in Creeks Crossing, Pennsylvania. Her Uncle Jacob, a stubborn and sometimes harsh man, requests Dorothea to make a quilt by an exact pattern that he created. Though the purpose of this quilt is a mystery to the family, it eventually becomes apparent that there is a purpose beyond the practical. The story weaves danger, suspense, romance, and historical details of antebellum times and the Underground Railroad. The talents of author Jennifer Chiaverini and narrator Christina Moore create an unforgettable story. N.L. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

From Booklist
In the seventh entry in the Elm Creek Quilt series, Chiaverini returns to Creek's Crossing, Pennsylvania, in the period before the Civil War, when quilts were used as markers along the Underground Railroad. Nineteen-year-old Dorothea Granger, dutiful daughter and niece, teaches at the local school, the closest she can come to fulfilling her dreams of education and career. Her younger brother, Jonathan, is studying medicine in Boston and is seen as the likely heir to the farm where her family lives under the scrutiny of cantankerous Uncle Jacob. When her uncle asks Dorothea to make him a quilt with very specific instructions, she obeys but is intrigued and annoyed at the request, as it takes her away from the task of quilting to raise funds to build a library and wondering about the intentions of a potential suitor and a mysterious newcomer. The Granger family and their small town become increasingly torn by encroaching efforts to round up or to assist runaway slaves. Vanessa Bush
