New Place, New Christmas Celebrations!
When little Fiona knocks on Vera’s door begging for help, both of their world’s change. Widowed Vera is a recent transplant who regrets her move and is horribly lonely. Five-year-old Fiona is desperate to know what to do for her sick mom.
Before Vera knows it, she is pulled into caring for Fiona and her two siblings while their mom has surgery–which morphs into helping them daily.
When Fiona discovers the patchwork quilt Vera spent lots of time making with the help of friends, she begs Vera to make one for her mom. Vera tells her it is impossible to make without help–and she doesn’t know anyone in this new place–plus there isn’t enough time to make it for Christmas. Despite that, Fiona tells her two siblings that they will have a wonderful quilt for their mom this Christmas.
That is how Vera finds herself with three women: Tasha, Beverly and Eleanor, strangers who have agreed to help with the quilt in exchange for sewing lessons. When they first get-together, Eleanor was grouchy, but as time goes on, her surliness increases.
Will Eleanor ruin the quilting group, preventing the quilt from being made? Is there enough time to have it finished by Christmas? What will Eleanor do when she discovers who her son is dating?
This little Christmas tale will charm you, and usher in the Christmas spirit. The characters are so endearing, I hope the author will continue their stories in the future. Christian faith is not talked about, but can be seen in many of the people’s actions. Anyone who is delighted by Christmas will enjoy this clean, five-star book.
