Publisher's Synopsis
1939. After the sudden and tragic loss of her husband John, Helen Wentworth returns to her mother's house in Biggin Hill - the one place she vowed she'd never go back to again. Alone, not knowing where to turn, she finds herself joining the local women's sewing circle, despite being hopeless with a needle and thread. These resourceful women can not only make do and mend with material - their friendship mends something deeper in Helen too. But when the true reason for John's death comes to light, her world is turned upside down yet again. Inspector Richard Gladstone will leave no stone unturned, but it's not long before his interest in Helen goes beyond the professional. As she pieces together old fabrics into a beautiful quilt, will she patch up the rifts in her own life?
