Needing time to contemplate her troubled marriage, Tessa MacRae agrees to spend the summer helping her mother and grandmother clean out the family home in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. But the three women have never been close.

Helen, the family matriarch, is domineering and sharp-tongued. Nancy, Tessa's mother, appears to be little more than a social climber. And Tessa herself is in turmoil following a family tragedy that has affected them all. Now, with the gift of time, Tessa's eyes are opened, and she begins to see her mother and grandmother for the flawed but courageous women they are. As she restores a vintage wedding-ring quilt pieced by her grandmother and quilted by her mother, the secrets that have shadowed their lives unfold at last. And each woman discovers that sometimes you have to clean house to find the things you thought were lost forever.

I couldn't put this book down! I could see the beautiful quilts as if I were in the room with them.

It all boils down to communication, and ER did a masterful job covering all sides and bases. She pulled all the side stories together with time left to spare; she wasn’t racing to the finish line to complete the task. It was a wonderful book, beginning, middle, and end.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

This was my first experience with the author. She did not disappoint. I loved the southern accents, the different character voices, the story was compelling and drew me right in. I’ve already downloaded another one!

New favorite author added to the list!

I’m a quilter, so of course this storyline is pleasing for me. But I also loved the family interactions!

Delightful

Wedding Ring was a reread for me, and I am so pleased I chose to do so by the audiobook version. I loved it the first time I read it, and totally fell in love with the characters and story line all over again as I listened to it. To be honest I had forgotten many details of the story - I just carried the general feel of the story with me. Now I have a refreshed memory of it!

Isabel Keating does a fabulous job in the narration. I loved her Helen voice and the way she just totally brought her to life for me. Whenever I thought of this book I remembered the opening scene when Helen was holed up in her house and her daughter Nancy and grand daughter Tessa were trying to get in. Wonderful scene.

The story follows the lives of these three remarkable women. We are taken back in time to Helen's early life and see where she came from and her joys and sorrows. We are also taken back in time to Nancy's earlier times too.

As the story develops changes happen for all three women, and they are bonded together in ways they would not have thought of earlier.

It is with this series I began my obsession with quilting, Helen is an expert quilter and I just wish she was a real live actual person and I'd love to go see her quilts. I loved the way her daughter Nancy, helped her see the value in what she had done.

In short - love, love, loved it all. Guess who will be revisiting the whole series via audiobook!

Loved it All Over Again

The realness of people and their reaction to life hurdles. This story kept my attention from the first paragraph.
There were parts that brought me to tears. Other times I laughed out loud.
I found myself anxious and excited to get back to the book.
A really good read! Thank you!

Southern Real People

Stellar in every way and beautifully narrated. If you grew up in the South, you most likely knew a grandma Helen!

Outstanding

Emilie Richards has great reviews. However I struggled with how the pace of the plot was slowly unfolding. Perhaps the details about the quilting world were a bit much for me. Yet, Richards is still a great writer but this one was not exactly my favorite.

I tried, but I struggled
