Description

When Callie MacCallum sews her first quilt after the death of her lover Jack Sebring, she doesn't realize she'll be drawn into a Sebring family battle between wife and daughter-in-law. She simply wants to fulfill her promise to Jack to visit their cabin in the West Virginia mountains, where their long love affair was safely hidden.
Instead, her emotionally reminiscent trip becomes crowded with the two Sebring women, a grief counselor, and the massive role Callie assumes. She must speak for Jack in order to protect his four-year old grandson Chad from his stubbornly manipulative and blame-passing grandmother and his recently widowed and power-usurping mother. Callie understands both women grieve the loss of Chad's father. He died when a raging storm split the tree that crushed him.
Grief isn't the only common thread running between the four women. One by one, their secrets are revealed on the West Virginia mountaintop.

When Callie MacCallum sews her first quilt after the death of her lover Jack Sebring, she doesn't realize she'll be drawn into a Sebring family battle between wife and daughter-in-law. She simply...

What an absolutely wonderful story about 4 women who have lost faith because of a death of a loved ones. Beebe is a grief counselor who left the ministry. Lizbeth has lost her husband to a freak accident and blames her mother in law, Arnette who is grieving not only the lose of her son but the death of her estranged husband. Callie has lost her lover of 20+ years and becomes the center of the storm connecting these women. Of the four women, my favorite is Callie. She has my sympathy and compassion. There are times I want to shake both Arnette and Lizbeth over their selfishness toward each other and Callie and Beebe. I'd like to know these ladies better and visit their hideaway in West Virginia.

Premise was better that the story. Meh. I am guessing there will be a market for this book as it has a small group of women at odds with each other over a dead man and a young grandchild. But story was not for me. Just too unlikely.

These characters were truly dysfunctional but what a story! These women were connected by loss and grief and now they must heal. I did not want to stop reading.
Many thanks to Black Rose Writing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.
