Maybelle in Stitches

De: Joyce Magnin

Narrado por: Elisa Carlson

Maybelle can't sew. But when she finds an unfinished quilt in the attic of her mother's house, she gets the crazy idea to complete it. At first, it's just a way to fill the lonely nights while her husband, staff sergeant Holden Kanzinzki, is away fighting in World War II. Yet when Maybelle discovers that the quilt is made from scraps of material that can be traced back through her family heritage, the project is suddenly much more important.

Then word comes that Holden is missing in action, and with little else to do, Maybelle clings to the quilt as much as to the hope that her husband is still alive. As neighborhood friends gather around Maybelle to help her through the unknown days and nights ahead, it is the quilt that becomes a symbol of her unflagging belief that Holden will return - to her, to their home, and to their quilt-covered bed.

Very enjoyable!

I would like to see more titles from Joyce Magnin available on Audible. I really enjoyed this book!

Philadelphia accent on full display

Loved the sweet story of wartime women and their men. I loved the narrator’s voices. Sounded just like my aunt speaking. 5 stars

Wonderfully written

Oh what a beautiful book. The ups and downs. The children of today need to hear the reality of life. Even with the little income and little food, people were happy and did what needed to be done.

I hate war

When you read this story of the second world war have a box of tissues on hand. There is happy and was tears. There is silly girl thing s . But the reader and author all did a wonderful job. That is why I have this book all 5
