Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Marie Bostwick welcomes listeners to the quirky, unforgettable town of Too Much, Texas, in a heartwarming, richly satisfying story about friendship and moving forward.

Mary Dell Templeton prefers the quiet charms of Too Much to the bright lights of Dallas any day. She's relieved to be moving back to her hometown - and bringing her cable TV show, Quintessential Quilting, with her. There are just a couple of wrinkles in her plan. Her son, Howard, who is her talented cohost and color consultant, and who happens to have Down syndrome, wants to stay in Dallas and become more independent. Meanwhile, Mary Dell's new boss hopes to attract a different demographic - by bringing in a younger cohost.

What Holly Silva knows about quilting wouldn't fill a thimble, but she's smart and ambitious. Her career hinges on outshining the formidable Mary Dell in order to earn her own show. Yet as Holly adapts to small-town living and begins a new romance, Mary Dell considers rekindling an old one, and the two find unlikely kinship. For as Mary Dell knows, the women of Too Much have a knack for untangling the knottiest problems when they work together. And sometimes the pattern for happiness is as simple and surprising as it is beautiful.

Marie nailed it!!

What a great story of life's triumphs! Marie is such an excellent story teller! The continuation of Mary Dell & her son Howard is a great read of a family that has multiple heartbreaks in life & just keeps plugging ahead to overcome & comes out on top over & over again!
Well done Marie!!

Never a dull moment

This is absolutely a remarkable storyline and the characters are so realistic that you cry with them, you feel emotional with the situations, you root for the bad guys to get their just reward, and understand how it all happened and why and realize just how wrapped up you get in the characters lives that you just can't put it down, hungry for more content when it ends, and pray that the characters that are already well established and quilted into your heart... well, anyways, THIS is absolutely remarkable and I pray there is a follow-up novel with these well loved characters that has now become apart of you as the reader. We all know people in these situations and the author and staff hit this one home. The narrator did an amazing job with capturing the truest emotions thru every turn, it's like she lived it before reading it.
As a quilter, I was so happy to hear REAL dialog!!!
I absolutely recommend this novel. You will not be disappointed.
