Publisher's summary

Jennifer Chiaverini's New York Times best-selling Elm Creek Quilt novels, with their irresistible blend of storytelling magic and quilting lore, have captured the hearts of countless fans. In this moving novel about morality, freedom, and the power of human courage, Chiaverini whisks listeners back to antebellum America.

As the nation moves toward civil war, one resident of Creek's Crossing, Pennsylvania, has her life irrevocably changed. Dorothea Granger is asked by her uncle, shortly before his violent death, to stitch an unusual quilt. When she learns that the quilt contains hidden clues for the Underground Railroad, Dorothea makes a brave decision. She will put her own life at risk to continue the work that cost her uncle his life.

The Dallas Morning News hails the Elm Creek Quilt books as "classics of their kind", and this stirring historical yarn is another satisfying entry in the series.

Poor Narration.

The problem I have with the narrator is that she sounds the same every single time she is being someone else. She makes her voice and her words clipped and sound silly. I think Jennifer’s writings are great but she needs to find a better narrator.u

Great rook

I really enjoyed this book it is one that I would listen to again. I quilt myself or will be starting to quilt again after a 10 year hiatus and will be joining the local quilters guild soon. I could really relate to this book. I immersed myself in the book and listened it as I was falling asleep do I intend to listen to the part that I missed while I slept.

Sugarcamp strength.

The narration was excellent. I was so absorbed in the story I finished it in 2 days. Some areas are painful reminders of this country's history.
