Hardcover. Joining together to change their community, four women experience a surprising restoration of hearts and lives.
When her Aunt Teza faces a second bout with breast cancer, Kit Cooper resolves to raise money for a new mammogram unit by creating a magnificent king-sized quilt to be sewn and auctioned by the women of Jefferson City.
Kit's efforts quickly draw the support of disparate members of the community, including a young newcomer Beth Donnelly, married to a local pastor; Elaine Giovanni, the stylish wife of a local surgeon; and an ailing Aunt Teza. But as the four women work the squares of the quilt, they also are confronted with ragged pieces of their own lives.
Though the women could not be more different on the surface, they hold in common quiet suffering triggered by painful circumstances: the death of children, the abandonment of husbands, the loneliness of depression. Yet their struggles will bring them closer together than they ever could have anticipated and their lives will be dramatically changed, as together they experience the curative powers of The Healing Quilt.
