Years
of long workdays and little sleep as a political campaigner are about
to pay off now that Lucy Toomey's boss is entering the White House. But
when her estranged older sister, Alice, unexpectedly dies, Lucy is drawn
back to Nilson's Bay, her small, close-knit, Wisconsin hometown.

An
accident in her teens left Alice mentally impaired, and she was content
to stay in Nilson's Bay. Lucy, meanwhile, got out and never looked
back. But now, to meet the terms of Alice's eccentric will, Lucy has
taken up temporary residence in her sister's cottage--and 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 gift--a chance to move beyond her difficult past,
and find what she has long been missing.
