I just finished reading this book and I enjoyed it so much. I probably would not have read a book about slaves during the Civil War but it is part of a series, The Elm Creek Quilts, that I have been reading for a few years. Even though this book is fiction it touched my soul. Quilting is the original bond, but it goes much farther than that. This is a story about one woman's quest for freedom and a desire to care for her family. Her quilts are more than coverings, they are history written in fabric. This book is fiction but it tells a story of so many women, women who are part of our heritage. Just another reason I love quilting so much.
