Sylvia Luynn never knew who her father was and was pretty much raised by her grandparents but when she graduated high school, she ran as as far she could from the woods when she went to college and then opened up a bookstore. Then a call from her grandmother who tells her to come home for her grandfather's funeral. Sylvia has a secret, after her grandfather's funeral, she finds out her grandmother has some secrets of her own. Sylvia is named heir of Lynn Hall and meets the women of the Fiber Guild which turns out to be more than a sewing circle, what these women sew are binding the forces that in the woods. Other family members have their own secrets and though her grandmother thinks that the house is safe from the fairy folk, that might not be the case. This was a good book to get into, very different from anything that I've read that calls itself fantasy, there may be sex but it isn't the focus of the book. The book is set up that each chapter is the point of view of different family members.
