I really enjoyed this book about 3 generations of women in a family who come together to solve a problem and find out they like each other and are like each other. Tessa, the grandaughter, is a teacher whose daughter was killed several years prior by a drunk driver and she can't get past the tragedy. Nancy, the mother, seems to be too high society for her own good, and the grandmother,Helen, who the other two ladies come to help at her house, seems to want to be a hermit.
Grandma Helen seems a lot reluctant to have her daughter and granddaughter help her clean her house. She would like nothing better than to quilt and be a hermit. Through gentile coaxing and quilting together, Tessa and Nancy are finally able to get Grandma out of the house and back in the community with a quilt exhibit at grandma's church. In the process, the three generations come together and find out what each of them is missing in life. Helen reconnects with her husband, and so does Tessa, when she is finally able to let go of the terrible tragedy that befell her daughter. All three ladies are able to resume a more satisfactory life.
