In 1860 the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow family celebrated Christmas at Craigie House, their home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The publication of Longfellow's classic Revolutionary War poem, "Paul Revere's Ride", was less than a month hence, and the country's grave political unrest weighed heavily on his mind. Yet with his beloved wife, Fanny, and their five adored children at his side, the delights of the season prevailed.

Story
Early in the Great War, men left Britain’s factories in droves to enlist. Struggling to keep up production, arsenals hired women to build the weapons the military urgently needed. “Be the Girl Behind the Man Behind the Gun,” the recruitment posters beckoned. Thousands of women—cooks, maids, shopgirls, and housewives—answered their nation’s call. These “munitionettes” worked grueling shifts often seven days a week, handling TNT and other explosives with little protective gear.

Beautiful story-lots of threads.
I live to sew and sew to live. I love being able to listen to these wonderful stories of women lives, friendships and challenges while I'm sewing. You really don't need to know how to sew or quilt to appreciate thesae stories. I have also listened while driving and not wanted to get out of the car after an entire day of driving.

Unprofessional recording
Don’t misunderstand, I adore Jennifer Chiaverini’s books, including the Elm Creek Quilters Series. My disappointment lies in the fact that the recording was simply lifted from the old cassette version. The beautiful story is caustically interrupted with instructions regarding the cassette - “forward to the end of the cassette”, “rewind”, “turn the cassette over”. This is the first time I have had a problem with an Audiobooks product; it did a real injustice to Ms. Chiaverini’s fine story. I requested a refund and it was posted promptly.

A good story with a lot of re-telling
it was a good story, short, with a lot of my favorite characters. there was a lot of explanation in background story from when Sylvia was little, the stories unfortunately overlap quite a bit I was disappointed to hear so much that I had already heard in the other books I had listened to. I think the thing that frustrated me the most about this story was the fact that it was copied for audible off of cassettes and there are a number of times when the says turn cassette over and this is the end of cassette 5 that's kind of annoying they could have edited that out!

Great story. Cassette?
I love Jennifer Chivarini‘s writing style and as a quilter I love the subject matter. I would’ve liked to see some modern technology used so that at the end of every “side of the cassette” we didn’t have a voice come in asking us to turn it over to the next side of the cassette.

Annoying interruptions and retelling
I very much enjoyed this story as I have the others in the series. Unfortunately, the recording of the cassette version which tells you to turn over the cassette, etc. pulled me out of the story too many times. Also did not want to relive stories that were already told in other books. I felt like this was not a good addition to the series.
